If you’re looking for another easy and delicious recipe for Super Bowl Sunday, here it is: Blue Cheese Buffalo Bites
If you asked my son Brooks (RecipeBoy) what his favorite bread is, he would not hesitate to tell you that it’s King’s Hawaiian. I absolutely cannot even keep this bread in plain sight in my kitchen as it will be snatched up immediately for consumption by my 12-year old. I must admit… I am drawn to eating it too. Have you ever tried it? It’s soft and fluffy and sweet. It’s addicting!!!! I was delighted that they contacted me recently to see if I would be interested in creating a Super Bowl themed recipe using their product. King’s Hawaiian is a good match for Super Bowl recipes and serving to guests because everyone always loves this bread. Note: it’s always kind of dreamy when a brand that I know and already love wants to collaborate with me. King’s Hawaiian = DREAMY 🙂
When I visited my local grocery store, I found that they carry the Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (PERFECT for serving with soup or chili on Super Bowl Sunday or for making mini sliders), the Original Hawaiian Sweet Round Bread (a nice vehicle for serving dips on Super Bowl Sunday) and the Original Hawaiian Sweet Sliced Bread (sandwiches!) For this recipe, I used the sliced bread in a much different way. Here’s how you make it:
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut off the crusts of the bread (you can throw these in the food processor to make some breadcrumbs… or just nibble them as a snack).
Roll out the bread slices to create a flattened piece of bread (tortilla-like).
Here’s a little visual for you!
Spread the rolled-out-bread with buffalo sauce and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles.
Roll it up tightly.
Cut into 3/4-inch pieces with a bread knife, and secure with a toothpick.
Place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes- that’s it!
All baked-up, the blue cheese melts into the bread and they turn out a little bit crispy. They are perfect for Super Bowl, and they are especially a delight for blue cheese lover’s too. The sweet Hawaiian bread is a great complement to the spicy sauce and the tangy cheese.

King’s Hawaiian sliced bread? Oh, my! This I have to find! I love this fun and creative way to make buffalo bites!
HOLY MOLY! These look fantastic!!!
What a super fun and easy idea Lori!
My son would love if I served these as a Super Bowl snack. They seem to be easy to make and sound mouthwatering. I have to see if my local grocery store has King’s Hawaiian Bread – mmmm!
They sell SLICED HAWAIIAN BREAD???? You’re joking. I think all of my sandwich dreams just came true.
Also, rolling out a slice of bread? Genius.
I’ve got to see if my grocery has King’s Hawaiian bread! This looks like a perfect nibble for the big game!
Totally love these — so cheesy and yummy and I LOVE King’s Hawaiian Bread!!
This is such a great idea!! Love the flattened bread!
I love buffalo anything, especially buffalo food minus the chicken! It allows the sauce to shine! These look amazing!
I love how you rolled out the dough and made these buffalo bites! Such a perfect game day appetizer!
You have the best ideas, ever! This is so creative! Love the little bites!
Lori, I love this idea! The possibilities are endless. Thanks for the recipe!
Lori,
These look delicious! Great idea, so you don’t have to make the dough for the bites. Besides, who doesn’t love squished bread. I do that all the time.

King’s Hawaiian bread is definitely dreamy! Recipe Boy has good taste. 🙂 I just never saw it before in sliced loaves…so convenient for recipes like this one. Flattening bread slices for French toast rollups has been ‘in vogue’, so why not make savory pinwheels? Very creative, Lori! This appetizer looks truly scrumptious and perfect for the Super Bowl. Already pinned this morning, but will pin again this evening!
Never seen loaves like that! We make buffalo chicken sliders with the rolls tho’. Yum! Don’t blame RB no one can resist it!!!
Yum! Love flattening the bread. I am going to make sliders on the little Kings Hawaiian rolls!
I love King’s Hawaiian bread — and it must be so delicious with the spicy buffalo sauce and blue cheese! Great little appetizer. 🙂
I had no idea they made King’s Hawaiian bread in slices now! I’ve always bought the rolls! Wow, thanks! 🙂
Flattened bread!? So creative! Buffalo anything is the king of Game day food and paired with blue cheese? Hello perfection. Plus, it’s on a stick…so. much. fun!
So creative, Lori! Everything tastes that much better when it’s either mini food, or served on a stick, too 🙂
