To help your party not suck, we hit up three local chefs for sweet snack recipes, none of which require much time or any non-Safeway ingredients to execute. You'll be hard-pressed to find a guest who doesn't prefer these delectables to your usual bowl of peanuts, unless you invited that stupid elephant again.

Beer-Braised BBQ Ribs
Jonnatan Leiva is exec chef at Jack Falstaff
These tangy meat-bones require several oranges, your BBQ sauce of choice, and two beers, one of which you're actually directed to drink. However, under no circumstances are you permitted to squeeze yourself a refreshing glass of orange juice.

They say being a die-hard football fan takes heart; nosh on these cheese-stuffed, bacon-wrapped hot dogs and prove them all wrong.

Zaré's Super Bowl Meat Balls
Hoss Zaré is exec chef at Zare at Fly Trap
