Sadly, football is wrapping up.  College football has been over for about a month now, and the Superbowl is this Sunday.  Where has the season gone?

Since we’re in the middle of a blizzard here in DC, I don’t think I’ll be doing anything too exciting for Superbowl Sunday since I can’t even see my car.  Instead, I’m thinking of baking a cake for me and the fiancé!  Hey, I gotta show him my Betty Crocker side every once in awhile to assure him I’m wifey material.   We managed to attend 6 Virginia Tech games this year, but I stumbled across this stadium cake pan a little too late in the season to be able to bring it to tailgates.  If your mailman won’t overnight the pan to your house in this snowstorm, you could always make an easy football pull-apart cake made of delicious chocolate cupcakes!

Since I’m not a Saints or Colts fan, I’m thinking of decorating my stadium for both teams.  Any thoughts as to what candies I could put on top?

You found me out. I am just now stumbling across Super Bowl commercials because (gasp) I don’t give a hoot in a handbasket about football. I used to watch when I was a kid in the interest of family harmony but since I was about 18 I haven’t watched unless it happened to be on in whatever room I happened to wander through. I don’t dislike it; I just never developed a strong interest in it.

So I happened to do my weekly Twitter search on circus peanuts and found references to a Denny’s commercial that has a circus peanut as a pancake topper, along with a jelly orange slice. I now think that Denny’s is a little slice of heaven, if you can really get circus peanuts on pancakes. Has anyone been there and tried to order this? I don’t think I have been in a Denny’s in close to 20 years, so other than the one-trip breakfast bar, I am not sure what they might have on the menu.

What is your favorite way to enjoy circus peanuts?
