Game Day Classics
Some foods have become staples at Super Bowl gatherings over the years. These classic snacks always end up on the table to feed the hungry crowds.
1. Chicken Wings
No Super Bowl party is complete without a platter of chicken wings. These tasty game-day snacks are always a crowd pleaser. Crispy fried or baked, slathered in your favorite sauce wings are the perfect food for watching the game. You can keep them warm in a slow cooker so guests can grab them anytime.
2. Nachos
Nachos loaded with melted cheese, jalapeos, salsa, guacamole, and anything else you want to top them with are ideal for serving a hungry Super Bowl crowd. Make them as loaded as you like and be sure to pile on the napkins too!
3. Sliders
These mini sandwiches are simple to make in big batches, easy to eat during the game, and always satisfy. Top bite-sized rolls with burgers, bbq pulled meat, or grilled chicken. Your guests can then customize them by adding cheese, veggies, condiments and more from a toppings bar.
Dips and Bites
In addition to more substantial snacks, lighter bites and dips are essential for grazing all game long. Finger foods, dunkable treats, and savory spreads check all the boxes.
4. Chili
Warm, protein-packed chili in a slow cooker gives your guests the perfect dipping companion for tortilla chips and fritos. Toppings like sour cream, cheese, and green onions let everyone customize their bowl their way.
5. Meatballs
Bite-sized baked meatballs tossed in your favorite sauce are ideal finger food for game day. Offer picks and toothpicks so guests can easily grab and dip them. The sweet and tangy barbecue flavor pairs perfectly with the big game.
6. Guacamole and Salsa
What goes better with chips than fresh, creamy guacamole and salsa? Make them from scratch or use store-bought to cut down on prep time. Dont forget to provide plenty of chips for scooping and dipping!
7. Cheese Board
A spread of bite-sized cheeses, cured meats, crackers, nuts, and fruits takes any appetizer spread over the top. To make it football friendly, use cheese cutters and knives to shape items like cheddar and salami into footballs and team logos!
Sweet Treats
While savory snacks have dominated Super Bowl tables for years, more hosts are including sweet options in their lineup. Satisfy sweet teeth with cakes, cookies, brownies and more.
8. Cookies
A cookie tray always satisfies a crowd with options like chocolate chunk, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin or even sugar cookies decorated like footballs with icing. Guests can grab the goodies right off the platter to enjoy their favorites all game long.
9. Brownies
Perfectly chewy, fudgy brownies topped with nuts or candy pieces give you a sweet fix with chocolate at its best. Cut them small so guests can sample one (or three) flavors in bitesize pieces.
10. Cupcakes
Fun spiraled stadium cupcakes are a touchdown for game day. Top vanilla and chocolate swirled treats with buttercream footballs, team logo toppers, or sprinkles in your squads colors. Theyre the perfect sweet snack sized for little hands to grab and eat without missing a moment of the action.
Party Tips
When hosting the ultimate sports bash, keep things easy, efficient and enjoyable for you too. Here are some hosting tips to throw an effortless, yet delicious Super Bowl party:
- Set up a self-serve drink station so guests can refresh their own drinks.
- Use paper plates and napkins to cut down on clean-up time.
- Offer a wide variety of snacks to satisfy fans with different tastes.
- Make ahead or use store-bought options for simple shortcuts.
- Have a TV or projection screen in more than one area so no one misses the action.
The Super Bowl only comes around once a year, so be sure to go all out with iconic game day grub. Please every palate with spicy, savory, cheesy, meaty and sweet options that will have your crowd cheering for more!
