Who’s ready for some College Hoop Action?
Pick me! Pick me!
I’m such a sucker for a good bracket season this time of year. I might have just a tiny bit of competitiveness in my bones. Or a lot. Just ask my friends. A good rivalry is healthy right?
Each year the hubs and I fill out our brackets and one by one cross of each game and taunt each other if their team loses. We also make a small wager on who has the winning bracket. I think this year will be him doing dishes for a month. Wait I said “small wager” didn’t I? In my life that might be a big wager!
At work we do a little competition too between the coworkers. Always fun! In high school I remember doing on and guess how I picked my teams? By who had the “cutest” uniforms. Don’t laugh! I almost won that baby!
Peanut Butter Dip
It’s also a great time to get a few friends together to watch games and relax a little. By March we are all going a little stir crazy with cabin fever and it’s finally warming up enough to venture out of the house right? I’ve made this fabulous Pick and Roll Peanut Butter Dip for you to enjoy at your college basketball party!
Ingredients Needed for Basketball Peanut Butter Dip!
- Cream cheese
- Powder sugar
- Peanut butter
- Milk
- Vanilla
- Reese’s Pieces
Speaking of cabin fever it’s in total effect here. We had a huge snow storm yesterday and the hubs was out plowing while I was at home with the kids. I could have took them to daycare but I didn’t want to go outside, plus there was ice before it snowed so I just didn’t really want to chance it!
I used to love snow days and then the husband started snow plowing. My whole stance on them kind of changed! Now I’m trapped inside with the children solo. Psh. So much for relaxing. I’m guessing when they get older it will be good again. I’m sure hoping they love to read like I do and we can all cuddle up with a book and relax in front of the first place!
Since we don’t take a tropical vacation during the winter I’m looking for any excuse to mix things up and I think watching basketball is the answer! Especially if we have a few friends over to enjoy it with us.
This Basketball Peanut Butter dip is sure to be on the menu along with a few other favorite appetizers like Easy Taco Dip, Crock Pot Glazed Kielbasa Bites, and Spicy Crock Pot Cheesy Hamburger Dip! For a main dish make sure to serve up these fabulous Crock Pot Hot Ham & Cheese Sandwiches!
Basketball Peanut Butter Dip starts with a creamy peanut butter dip and is topped REESE’S pieces in the shape of a basketball. Fun, tasty and festive! Dip apples or pretzels in and enjoy. It will make your game day party perfect! My niece is already asking for this for her basketball birthday party!

This looks SO GOOD, Julie! I didn’t realize we were both in this bracket challenge. I’ll vote for you as long as we aren’t head to head, and then I’ll be happy if either of us wins! But it had better be me 😉 Good luck, my friend!
