This Snack Spikes in Montana Every Super Bowl

At this point, we don’t know who is going to be playing in the big game this year, but we do know that people will be watching and eating.  

Montana doesn’t have a professional football team, we have a lot of fans of two teams that are still in the playoffs. The Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos both have big fan bases in Montana.  

Even though the Super Bowl isn’t an official holiday, it’s an event that usually involves eating a lot, at least around my house.
