Betty Crocker FANfare Recipes Inspired by Fall TV

Yay! The fall TV season is upon us! That means it's time for all of your favorite TV shows to return. The Office, Gossip Girl, and Supernatural are a few of my favorites! What about you? Is there a new series that you're looking forward to watching?

Whatever shows you decide to tune into this fall, the food experts at Betty Crocker have created some super fun food ideas that bring your favorite TV genres (from reality shows to cartoons) to life! Betty Crocker has even teamed up with reality TV star and former “Bachelorette” Trista Sutter to share some recipes that are absolutely perfect for TV viewing parties with friends and family.


Bloody Good Shows
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
This citrusy martini gets its striking layered appearance from drops of sangria-inspired simple syrup made from red wine and dark sweet cherries (after all, "sangria" means "bleeding" in Spanish!). An "impaled" cherry adds the finishing touch.


School Days
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Slushee Cup Cakes

Go to the head of the class with this new twist on the traditional poke cake. Two cupcakes are "poked" and splashed with fruity slushee syrup, then topped with colorful cherry or blue raspberry frosting and glittery sugar. You´ll give them an A!


Center Stage Shows

You Be the Judge Popcorn Mix
These pop corn mixes are customizable with a variety of flavors that bring personality to the table. Which one is your favorite - Sugary Sweet, Angry Jerk, Worldly Spice or Flaky Nut? You Be The Judge!


It's All Relative

Cheesy Po-Tot-Chos

You won´t have to ask twice to get everyone in front of this pile of potatoey tots, topped with cheese, salsa and fresh veggies like tomatoes and avocado. This twist on classic nachos is so good - it may be a fight to snatch the last tot!


Geek Chic
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Solving for Pi Cheesecake

It´s a simple equation: mango + raspberry + cheesecake + pie = delicious! Take a cue from the molecular gastronomy trend and scoop up this deconstructed dessert that literally "pops" with flavor!


Gilt-y Pleasures

Boxed Wine Cupcakes

Here´s a better way to serve boxed wine - in cupcake form! These fashion-forward cupcakes are infused with popular wines like sauvignon blanc, zinfandel, rosé and champagne, and perfect for get-togethers with girlfriends.


On the Job

Cocoa Crunch Donut

Who doesn´t love a donut at the office - or at home? These homemade donuts start with refrigerated biscuits, then add a sweet glaze and crunchy Cocoa Puffs cereal for a fun and chocolatey punch.


It's a Guy Thing

Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Double Meat Dudewich

This manly sandwich is all about extremes. Tow meats - beer-soaked BBQ pork and savory smoked sausage - are piled high on an onion bun with coleslaw and pickles to top it off. It might take two (or more!) men to polish off this messy but awesome creation.


Cartoon Grow Up
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Silly Pink Rabbit Adult Malt

This colorful adult malt is inspired from the classic Pink Squirrel cocktail - but adds childhood favorites like ice cream and Trix cereal to evoke the flavors of childhood in a completely grown-up way.


Late Night Laughs
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Late Night Snack Cookies

These yummy chocolate cookies are crammed with all your late night hosts´ favorite snack foods - chewy, chocolatey caramels, salty potato chips, and cruncy waffle cones. With these cookies on hand, we don´t blame you if you raid the pantry late at night.


Food Fight
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Korean BBQ Kimchi Quesadillas

This winning food truck-inspired dish loads up a Mexican quesadilla with the flavor of Korean BBQ. And what´s the secret ingredient? Kimchi!


Back to the Sixties
Blood Red Sangria Cocktail
Modern Old-Fashioned Cocktail

This modern take on an old-fashioned cocktail infuses the flavors of peach, citrus and maple syrup into the classic bourbon drink. Finish it off with a single, large ice cube to give it a modern twist that´s perfect for a dimly-lit bar or kicking back on your own sofa.
