Party Idea: Super Bowl of Ice Cream

alias: Super Bowl Sundae Party
(see how creative I got there?)

I realize that Super Bowl Sunday has long since past but this year I had a genius idea for a party and it was completely snowed out... or to clarify, everyone else was completely snowed in!

I'm such a typical girl when it comes to watching sports - I sit through the game for the funny commercials and cheer for the team with the cutest color combo. I've given football a chance and even listened to a variety of explanations as to how (and why the heck) it is played. It's just not my cup of tea... unless of course there is plenty of sugar added!

So this year I planned to have an ice cream social party while anyone interested (including my adorable girlfriend) could watch the game. Each guest was instructed to bring their favorite ice cream flavor and a topping of their choice. We would then feast like kings on the frozen buffet wonderland. Now please envision me screaming to the heavens and cursing mother nature for blasting us with so much snow here in Maryland that we were literally confined to our homes for days on end.

Well... there's always next year! And feel free to borrow the idea yourself! Perhaps it can become a new American tradition!
A perfect addition to the Super Bowl snack table - an Ice Cream Toppings Bar!
