Easy Super Bowl snacks for game day, including cheesy dips, party appetizers, protein bites, homemade dippers, and crowd-favorite desserts.

Whether you’re hosting a party at your house or attending a party at someone else’s, it’s probably safe to say you want your Super Bowl snacks to be top notch. During an event highlighted heavily by snacks rather than main dishes, this is one of my favorite occasions for breaking out the appetizers and side dishes exclusively.

Don’t get me wrong, if there’s a pot of macaroni and cheese or buffalo chicken chili, I’ll probably have some, but dips, finger foods, slider sandwiches, and chips (and the like) are the things on my mind.

Here are some of my personal favorite recipes that I like to prepare for the big game, whether we’re staying in or trekking to a neighbor’s house. Whichever you choose, I promise, you’re in for a delicious bite!

OUR FAVORITE CHEESY DIPS

Reuben Dip: this is a personal favorite of mine! It’s got all the lip smackin’ parts of the inside of a Reuben sandwich, ready to dip or spread onto chunks of rye bread. Oh. Yes.

Philly Cheesesteak Dip: even if the Eagles aren’t playing, we can still honor them… Yeah?

Jalapeño Popper Dip: instead of stuffing jalapeños all day in preparation, throw together a dippable form!

Pizza Dip: this dip has its dippers built in for maximum efficiency.

Caramelized Onion Dip: so simple to make and jam packed with flavor.

Spinach Dip: it counts as a vegetable today, yes?

OUR FAVORITE CLASSIC DIPS

Creamy Southwest Corn Dip: so easy and so tasty, you might want to make a double batch. Seriously. This gets rave reviews every single time!

Everything Bagel Hummus: so much flavor and texture, you’ll be hard pressed to stop dipping (ask me how I know).

Creamy Buffalo Hummus: this hummus is hands down one of my favorite hummus flavors ever.

Buffalo Chicken Dip: what is a party without buffalo chicken dip? Not a party all, if you ask me.

Fresh Guacamole: another party staple. Make a double batch!

Zesty Cucumber Salad: this is surprisingly delicious and I guarantee you won’t be able to stop eating it. It is top notch with tortilla chips!

OUR FAVORITE PROTEINS

Slow Cooker Turkey Meatballs (Gluten Free): throw them on a roll with some mozzarella for a meal option or serve them up with toothpicks for snacking.

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs: these are a fun way to get buffalo chicken all up in the menu while creating space for a slider or sandwich.

Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese: a crowd favorite and usually the first dish to go!

Nashville Style Shredded Hot Chicken: the slow cooker does the work! Hot and spicy but with lots of flavor.

Mini Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers: one of my favorite finger foods! I’ll admit, they’re a labor of love, but you won’t regret it once you take your first bite.

THE BEST DIPPERS & CARBY DIP VEHICLES

Homemade Pita Chips: perfect for some homemade hummus or really any other dip you can get your hands on. Simple and customizable!

Quick & Easy Garlic Knots: you can make these with homemade pizza dough or store-bought, which is my favorite since it makes this recipe so simple.

Homemade Mini Slider Rolls: use these in my turkey & cheese slider recipe or load them up with any of your favorite proteins.

Pizza Pull-Apart Bread: instead of making or ordering pizza, this bread is everything we love about pizza layered into soft and pillowy bread. Don’t miss the pesto and apple butter versions!

Strawberry Goat Cheese Bruschetta: think strawberries and goat cheese don’t belong on bread? Well, you’re wrong. Make this.

THE BEST DESSERTS

Cake Batter Dip: because no party is a party without sprinkles. PLUS! You can use sprinkles in the color of your favorite team. Serve with all the sweet stuff– graham crackers, pretzels, cookies, animal crackers– or spoons!

Football Cupcakes: make them from scratch (you can use any of my cupcake recipes) or use store-bought. Scrape off the frosting they come with and you’ve got a blank canvas for a football!

Football Brownies: again, use store-bought or make my reader-favorite brownies and add the laces when they’re cool.
