Sports Party Ideas: Chocolate Pizza & Peanut Butter Wings

By Elba Fenwick


Everyone loves to watch a big sporting event, and it's even more fun when you invite friends over to enjoy the game. It doesn't matter if you are watching hockey, football, basketball or baseball, any big game is a great excuse for a sports-themed party. Consider the following suggestions as you plan your festive sports party.

The big game, of course, will be the centerpiece of the event, but you have to have some fantastic food. When it comes to sweet treats, it's best to select something that every sports lover adores - pizza and wings. In this case, however, we're talking about Chocolate Pizza and Peanut Butter Wings from Chocolate Pizza Company. These easy-to-order unique chocolate items are the perfect dessert for your sports party.

At Chocolate Pizza Company, each "pie" is handmade and begins with the creation of a crust that combines English toffee and chocolate, either dark or milk. This mixture is poured into a pizza pan and then you can choose from a variety of toppings or opt for a plain pizza with an artistic splash of white chocolate. If you prefer some extra crunch, top off the pizza with nuts or perhaps an assortment of candy. Don't forget to add a tub or two of Peanut Butter Wings, which are crispy potato chips coated with creamy peanut butter and then dipped into melted milk chocolate.

Although many people might be content to simply enjoy slice after slice of Chocolate Pizza, it's probably best to serve some other delicious savory foods as well. If you want to truly complement your chocolate pizza and Peanut Butter Wings dessert, consider serving some gourmet pizzas and a few different kinds of chicken wings. Another option would be to go with a healthy buffet with fresh veggies, fruit and light sandwiches. Savory hot dips and finger foods are yet another option, and these are easy to eat while you watch the game. It's probably best to serve foods that are easy to carry around, as people will be munching and sitting on chairs or the couch rather than seated at a table.

You also will need to provide an assortment of beverages, and different types of beer typically are always a hit. It's also a good idea to provide some wine and some non-alcoholic items such as soda or perhaps iced tea and lemonade. If you serve cocktails, this can keep you too busy making drinks to really enjoy mingling with your guests, so keep it easy and serve just one cocktail or a special punch, rather than mixing drinks for everyone.

As we said before, you really don't need to have any entertainment, but if you do have children coming to the party, it's best to offer them some fun activities. For very small children, set up a table with play-dough or crayons and coloring pages. Bring out some games for the kids to enjoy or perhaps set up a TV in another room where they can play video games or watch a fun movie just for them. Of course, some of them might just want to hang out, watch the game, and nibble on slice after slice of Chocolate Pizza.
