Can you hear the roar from the stadium? Football season is here!
Not everyone knows the ins and outs of football, but everyone loves a good tailgate. Partying before the game, hanging out with friends and family, and of course – eating food and drinking beer. Whether you’re cheering on the University of Texas Longhorns or another team this season, here are three untraditional ways to sweeten up your tailgate game.
1. Immerse your tailgate with chocolate.
Winning a game of flip cup comes with bragging rights and some victory chocolate truffles. Keep guests circulating around the food table with a funky piece of molded chocolate that demands attention. Scatter pieces of chocolate bark around the side tables, so it’s easy for people to break off a perfect bite in between plays.
What we recommend:
- Celebrate each touchdown or your latest cornhole win with a chocolate truffle. Offer easy-to-please flavors like Delysia’s Texas Hill Country collection, or pack a punch with our Tito’s Handmade Vodka collection chocolate truffles for your 21+ guests.
- Choose a shape of molded chocolate that represents your school spirit, like a chocolate cowboy hat for the University of Texas or a chocolate skull for pirate or outlaw mascots.
- For quick snacking, offer a variety of Delysia’s chocolate barks, from pecan cayenne to peanut butter chocolate.
2. Thank the host with a chocolate gift box.
For hosts, joy comes from throwing the best tailgate possible – the best TV screen, the best cornhole set, and the best beers and snacks. Throwing an awesome tailgate takes a lot of work, and it often goes unappreciated. Treat your host to a special gift box of chocolate. Whether you’ve been attending their tailgate for years or it’s your first time, it won’t go unnoticed.
What we recommend:
- The southern belle in your life will love our Hostess gift box, featuring our Wine collection chocolate truffles, Lavender chocolate bark and more.
- Any UT Austin and A&M College Station fan will appreciate our Texas gift box, featuring our Texas Hill Country collection chocolate truffles, a 5-inch Cowboy boot made of chocolate (we go big!) and more.
- The unfamiliar host will become a new friend with our Thank you gift box, containing our Salted collection chocolate truffles, our Signature collection and more.
3. Keep spirits warm with hot chocolate.
While we’re still in the heat of summer, it’s easy to forget football games can get downright cold as we progress further into the season. Help your fellow fans stay warm with a cup of Delysia drinking chocolate.
What we recommend:
- Impress your less culinarily adventurous friends and family with our peppermint drinking chocolate.
- Those who prefer a kick will keep their fire alive with our ghost pepper or cayenne drinking chocolate.
- Everyone likes variety in their life, so serve all three flavors for an exciting mix!
Tailgates are known for their salty snacks, savory meats and cold beer. Add in some chocolate, and you’ll be the most popular tailgate at the game.
