‘Tis the season for football! We’ve cheered on our favorite teams all year for a chance at the big game. I’m usually not into sports, but as I type this at this very moment, my hometown team is headed to the playoffs! Part of the excitement is the journey of emotions, and many of those come by way of the referee. Sometimes we love them, other times we want to tackle him to the ground and cry, “But, whhhyyy?”

This Bark recipe, my friends, is dedicated to them! A little bit sweet, a little bit salty, but oh, such an addition to the big picture! Look – I even used black and white candy melts!

Before I go into the recipe, I want to share some exciting news! Last year I did a series of posts with Coca-Cola and NABISCO for the “Home Bowl” campaign. I had a blast, and I’m thrilled to have been invited back for this year’s big game! The spirit of the “Home Bowl” campaign is that it’s more than just a game. It’s a time for family and friends to get together and have fun experiencing an exciting event! What’s in it for you – well, a variety of crafts and recipes from myself and other lifestyle bloggers – plus a chance for two of you to each win a Coca-Cola & NABISCO Home Bowl prize pack that is valued at $400!

Put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes. While that is cooling, melt your candies. You can use a chocolate warmer, microwave or double boiler. Read the package directions for exact instructions.

Add as much or as little as you want.

I got a little carried away! If you want something a bit more subdued, simply drizzle the candy melts on top of the RITZ Crackers! Short and sweet!

I also glittered some Coke bottles too as part of my game day party! Tape off the stripes, add paint, let dry, then add wet glue and glitter. Let dry! Done!
