By using inexpensive dollar store football themed decorations and supplies, simple recipes and snacks, plus an easy fudge brownie recipe, your Super Bowl party will rock!

So often we miss out on the joy of community with others by believing parties and gatherings have to be expensive and completelyfrom scratch.

I want to change your mind and show you how to use inexpensive items from the dollar store for decorations and party food from your local Walmart.You can throw a wonderful party to celebrate the Big Game without slaving so much you don’t enjoy the game and your guests!

I cannot tell a lie. I love chocolate and no party is complete without it so I also picked up someButterFinger® Peanut Butter Cups Minis to use for the amazing recipe to follow. (Seriously?ButterFingers®and peanut butter cups combined? How can you lose?)

I also shopped my local dollar store and started picking up supplies that would go with my football themed party. I went with red and blue,colors that I will be able to use again.

One of my dollar stores favoritesis plastic baskets and tubs. I’ve even used them for storage in my small bathroom.

Here they hold ice, drinks, chips, silverware and napkins.

I also grabbed a bunch of nerf footballs and a couple of party trays.
