Super Easy Super Bowl Finger Foods

The NFL’s biggest game of the year is just a few days away and today my local grocery store was packed with shoppers loading up for Super Bowl parties.

I figured I had a good chance since the guy in front of me only had one item in his cart. Man, was I wrong, wrong, wrong. His one item happened to be a 32-inch flat screen TV and before he had time to reach for his wallet, five (and I do mean five) Wal-Mart employees swarmed him like ants on jelly.
