Treats that could make victory even sweeter for Raiders fans

The Silver and Black Chocolate attack from Public House (MGM Resorts International)

Nothing is sweeter than victory, right? Well, you may end up re-thinking that belief after enjoying one of these football-inspired treats. While each is designed for cheering on the Silver and Black, the sugar rush they provide is likely to transcend any outcome. Win or lose, their sugary goodness is guaranteed. And once the season is over, they’ll help provide a tasty football fix during the off-season.

Tsp. Baking Company

Baker Kari Garcia and her team can add a little pigskin pride to any of her mini-cupcakes by topping them with teeny-tiny Raiders helmets, if you order at least a dozen and give them 24 hours notice. Mix and match flavors such as sugar cookie dough, churros, chocolate peppermint and blueberry cheesecake. $25 per dozen. 6120 N. Decatur Drive. 702-331-9265, tsplv.com

Freed’s Bakery

The folks at Freed’s offer plenty of Raiders-themed treats, from cupcakes to Bavarian cream cakes adorned with the team’s logo. In the spirit of the season, however, you may want to consider the gingerbread cookies shaped like footballs, and players dressed in black and silver. $5.25 each. 9815 S Eastern Ave., freedsbakery.com

Public House

The dessert menu of the Luxor’s sports bar puts Raiders colors on display in an elegant, little dish they call the Silver and Black Chocolate Attack. Decedent layers of creamy chocolate, white chocolate, vanilla mousse and chocolate cake come topped with dark chocolate ganache, whipped cream and a galaxy of silver stars. $8. Luxor, luxor.mgmresorts.com

Black Tap

No trip to The Venetian’s funky and cool burger spot is complete without trying one of their CrazyShakes. The Raiders Shake is a Cookies N’ Cream milkshake with black and white Sixlets candies, topped with a Raiders-themed doughnut, an Oreo ice cream cone, a black and white whirly pop, silver rock candy, whipped cream, silver and black sprinkles and chocolate drizzle, served in a glass with a frosted vanilla rim. $21.
