Dylan's solid milk chocolate football
Labor Day weekend… quite possibly the best weekend of the year. It’s warm, people are grilling out and laughing about all the summer fun they had and most importantly, football season begins! I can’t even try to hide my excitement for Hokie football to start. I’ve already cast my vote for my new gameday t-shirt, I’ve packed my bags for this weekend’s kickoff game in Atlanta, and I’ve already set up doggy boarding for Bella for the entire season. Hey, I used to be a Girl Scout – I’m prepared!
Anyway, not only has Anheuser-Busch made the all-controversial team colored cans this season, but so have candy and chocolate companies! MARS offers My Team M&M’s Blends for pro teams, Pez makes college football helmet dispensers, Candy Warehouse lends up football hard candy lollipops, and Dylan’s Candy Bar has molded a football out of solid milk chocolate. How could football and confectionery NOT go together!?
After everyone has polished off the meatballs, wings and seven layer dip, you can just hand out some of these treats to your fellow tailgaters. Even if your team loses and you’re feeling down in the dumps, your friends will still love you for bringing them these sweet mood boosters!

I agree, fall is one of the best times of the year…cause it meas FOOTBALL, and being an Old Dominion (ODU) grad, it’s even more special. ODU finally has a football team!
Also, we’re doing something really special here at Wolfgang Candy in celebration of football season. Our “Sweetest Saturdays” event on September 12th features halftime snacks and special football themed handmade treats as well as Games for the kids! You might even find Chef Wolfgang making some special football-shaped chocolates!
Check out the event details on the Wolfgang facebook page or at wolfgangcandy.com.

A solid chocolate football? Is it regulation size? How would you eat such a monstrosity?

Great post! I work for See’s Candies, and we couldn’t agree more about chocolate and football. We even made a Game Day collection, with our Rocky Road Football as the centerpiece.

I just wanted to share what we are doing as it fits the theme perfectly. Keep up the great work!
