Chocolate-Chunk Walnut Cookies
Tough players don't use dainty semisweet morsels in their cookies, they prefer heaping chocolate chunks and rough and tumble nuts.

Sliders topped with fresh guacamole are easy to throw together and small enough to keep you trash-talking the opposing team between bites.

Barbecue Pork Sandwich with Crispy Slaw
Pulled pork takes little effort to make in a slow cooker, but it certainly doesn't taste like it when spread on a fresh bun and topped with our crispy coleslaw.
