In the history of legendary football parties, there are two things that set the best above the rest: 1) a last-minute, game-winning play and 2) a delicious spread of party food. Come to think of it, dessert is really a combo of those two awesome things: It’s the last-minute, party-winning food that makes that win all the sweeter.
Football party desserts such as brownies, cookies, and cupcakes are always good, but that just scratches the surface of sweets you can end the game on. So, when the clock strikes “fourth quarter,” be sure to have these five football party desserts on hand for the crew.

Avocado Cookies
There’s a saying that goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” and it was first said about how homemade cookies are at all the best parties. We totally agree, but we’re talking about football party desserts. Avocado makes a game night better, even more so when it’s for dessert. Check out our recipe for Avocookies, a buttery, creamy dessert that can be easily decorated with icing or sprinkles in your team’s colors.
Homemade Brownies
The other must-have football dessert: brownies. Although box-mix brownies are great, this is a big game. Step it up with this Dark Chocolate Avocado Brownie recipe made all the creamier with Avocados From Mexico and all the chocolatey-er with extra dark chocolate chips. Serve it up with a hearty scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ll be able to keep your cool in the red zone for those final 15 minutes (if your dessert lasts that long).
FOOTBALL IS SWEETER WITH AVOCADO
Avocados From Mexico are naturally sugar-free, but that doesn’t mean they need to stay away from the dessert table. Avocados are berries (surprise!) with a creamy, agreeable flavor that adds a whole new level (and color) to football party desserts — why should other berries get all the fun?
