Even in Minnesota, the weather is still warm enough for tailgating and bonfires. Hershey's makes a great addition to both. Using the "build it, wrap it, grill it" method, you can make S'mores even without a campfire on your tailgating grill. And Jesse Palmer, current ESPN College GameDay analyst, has some tips for a great tailgating party.
- Grab your spot early – Leave ample time to secure your spot and arrive no later than 90 minutes before kick-off. The closer you are to game time, the more likely you will be caught in game day traffic, which will impact your tailgating plans.
- Have the right equipment – Just as players need proper pads and helmets on the field, tailgaters need proper cooking equipment! Portable grills, coolers, aluminum grilling utensils and storage for leftovers are all items to invest in for tailgate season. Make sure to use separate coolers for food and beverages to avoid any confusion.
- Don’t forget the dessert! – A great meal with friends and family ends with dessert, and tailgating is no exception! S’mores are The Official Dessert of TailgatingTM and easy to make – just ‘Build it, Wrap it, Grill it!’ Simply build your S’mores to your liking, wrap in aluminum foil and grill them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side over a medium hot grill until the milk chocolate and marshmallows are perfectly melted between two graham crackers. It’s the perfect way to sweeten your tailgate!
- Bring the entertainment – Fans often tailgate for several hours on game day, so make sure there are plenty of activities for the group. Popular games such as corn-hole “bean bag toss,” washers and ladder toss are perfect for tailgating festivities. Don’t forget a radio to get everyone excited for kick-off!
