It's not about who wins or loses—it's all about what's on the snack table! These easy Super Bowl snacks will keep your guests munching through commercial breaks and all four quarters.

66 Super Bowl Snacks for a Winning Game-Day Party

Buffalo Chicken Dip
If you love the taste of buffalo wings but don’t have the cooking confidence to make them from scratch, this dip will become your new signature dish. It comes together quickly with all of the tangy, spicy flavors your guests will love.
Meatball Sliders
Listen up, cheese lovers: These sliders are bursting with your favorite food, from the cheesy pesto in the meatballs and the mozzarella sandwiched inside the rolls to the sprinkle of Parmesan and mozzarella on top. You can even make homemade Hawaiian dinner rolls to make them extra special.
Philly Cheesesteak Dip
Thinly shaved ribeye steak, sauteed onions and peppers, and a boatload of provolone mixed into a creamy dip base? Yes, please! Serve this dip with a side of toasted baguette for a dish that tastes exactly like a deconstructed Philly cheesesteak.
Bacon-Wrapped Smokies
These mini cocktail sausages are salty and sweet, so they’re a long-time favorite snack for game day. Oh, did I mention this recipe has only three ingredients? Well, four, if you count the toothpicks!
Jalapeno Popper Dip
Jalapeno poppers are one of my favorite crowd-pleasing appetizers, but deseeding and stuffing the jalapeno peppers is incredibly time-consuming. Luckily, this recipe has the same flavors with none of the hard work. In fact, thanks to canned diced jalapenos, no slicing or chopping is required.
Fried Chicken Wings
These classic wings are fried in an electric skillet to make them as crispy as restaurant-style wings. This recipe has three sauces to choose from, including Buffalo wing sauce, spicy Thai sauce and spicy barbecue sauce.
Touchdown Brat Sliders
This one-pan recipe is extra saucy, so consider waiting to assemble the sliders until your guests arrive. You’ll want to put out a few extra napkins for this one, too.
Spinach Dip in a Bread Bowl
While you could easily serve this spinach dip in a regular bowl, serving it in a hollowed-out loaf of round bread is way more fun. Serve it with extra bread and vegetables from the crudités platter for dipping.
Porcupine Meatballs
Now is your sign to add rice to your meatballs. It adds a unique texture and flavor you’ll want to recreate again and again, especially on game nights.
Cowboy Queso
While this dip makes a tasty snack, it’s so filling and flavorful that it could practically be a main dish. Just assemble a plate of tortilla chips and add a generous drizzle of cowboy queso to create a delicious Super Bowl dinner.
Boneless Wings
Wings are tasty, but they’re not exactly convenient to eat when you’re perched on the couch with a big group of Super Bowl fans. Boneless wings can be eaten with a fork and knife, and they’re easier to make, too.
Savory Cracker Snack Mix
This combination of potato sticks, snack crackers, sourdough pretzel nuggets and seasonings is a real winner. Keep bowls of the mix on the coffee table and replenish as needed.
Pigs in a Blanket
When the Super Bowl is a family affair, it’s helpful to have at least one dish on the table you know the kids and adults will like. Serve with a homemade mustard pretzel dip for extra points.
Chili Nachos
I love chili, but easy-to-eat foods reign supreme when hosting a big Super Bowl party. That’s why I opt for chili nachos, which can be eaten without a fork or spoon and can be served in smaller portions.
Wonton Mozzarella Sticks
This creative spin on mozzarella sticks couldn’t be easier. Just wrap the cheese sticks in wonton wrappers, heat some oil in a skillet and fry the sticks until golden brown.
Onion Rings
You could easily buy a package of frozen onion rings at the supermarket, but where’s the fun in that? Your guests will be impressed that you went the extra mile and made them from scratch.
Chicken Bacon Triangles
Store-bought phyllo dough is used as a shortcut, but this recipe is still time-intensive because the stuffed triangles take some time to assemble. The good news is that this appetizer can be prepped in advance and frozen until you’re ready to bake it.
Toasted Ravioli
Who says you need to use a fork to eat ravioli? This recipe deep-fries our favorite stuffed pasta, turning it into a fun finger food. It might just become a new Super Bowl tradition!
Guacamole
Guacamole is a Super Bowl staple, so I always keep a few extra avocados in the fridge, just in case I need to whip up a second batch. For best results, use ripe avocados that feel slightly soft (but not mushy) when you squeeze them.
Mini Pizza Bites
Pizza is a winner in any form, but these cute little cups are mess-free and easy to eat with your fingers. Store-bought crescent rolls make a simple shortcut that helps speed up prep.
Ham Pickle Pinwheels
Spend more time focusing on the game than cooking with tasty game-day snacks. The best types of pickles for these are okra pickles, but any dill spear would work as well.
Soft Giant Pretzels
If you’ve never made bread at home, the idea of making pretzels might seem daunting. But don’t worry! This pretzel dough practically makes itself if you have a bread machine (or know someone who will let you borrow theirs).
Savory Potato Skins
Most of this recipe involves hands-off baking, so don’t be daunted by the long cooking time. When the potato skins are ready, you can load them with whatever toppings you’d like, including sour cream, chives, cheddar cheese and bacon bits.
Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
Before you start cutting and prepping the jalapenos for this recipe, make sure you have disposable food prep gloves on hand. Otherwise, the oil and seeds from the spicy peppers can cause skin and eye irritation. As for the cheese in the filling, choose whatever melting cheeses suit your tastes!
Ranch Snack Mix
My favorite part about making a homemade snack mix is that I can customize the seasonings. In this recipe, ranch is the star of the show (and it will probably be the star of the party, too).
Taco Pinwheels
Go ahead and make a few extra batches of these cute little sandwiches. They’ll last a couple of days after prepping them, so you can eat the extras as a snack or pack them in lunchboxes. When you serve them on game day, plate them around a bowl of the best salsas for dipping.
Bacon Dip
If bacon and cheese were playing in the Super Bowl, we’re honestly not sure who we’d root for. Luckily, we don’t have to choose because our two favorite foods have joined forces in this delicious dip.
Air-Fryer Mozzarella Sticks
If you have flour, eggs, bread crumbs, string cheese and a few spices, you have everything you need to make homemade mozzarella sticks. Really! You don’t even need a deep fryer to pull it off.
Honey-Mustard Wings
Sure, you could take the extra time to buy the whole chicken and break it down into wings at home. But most grocery stores have precut chicken wings that are ready to cook, so look for packages labeled “party wings” to save yourself some time. Serve them with extra honey-mustard sauce on the side.
Beer Dip
If you’re throwing a Super Bowl party, you will likely have at least one beer hanging around. Use cream cheese and a packet of ranch seasoning to transform it into a snack masterpiece.
Quick Tortilla Pinwheels
A giant sandwich is always a hit, but these cute little pinwheels are way easier to portion. Any extras will keep well in the fridge, too.
Dijon-Bacon Dip for Pretzels
Quick—your guests are coming over in five minutes and you need one more snack to complete your spread. Enter Dijon-bacon dip, which is ready in five minutes and contains only four ingredients.
Taco Meatball Ring
This dish is a winner for presentation, but it’s not as hard to pull off as it looks. Tuck meatballs into store-bought crescent roll dough, then bake the ring in the oven before adding the rest of the toppings.
Mini Burgers with the Works
At a Super Bowl party, I want a snack that’s packed with cheesy, meaty ingredients but won’t spill all over my favorite jersey. These petite burgers are just the ticket.
Garlic-Parmesan Cheese Ball
If you’ve never made cheese ball recipes before, now is the time. This one is a tasty mixture of cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, spices and walnuts.
Caramel Chex Mix
Most of your game-day spread is probably savory and salty, but it’s good to include at least a few sweet treats to balance things out. This souped-up Chex mix really hits the spot, and it’s so tasty that the bowl may never make it out of the kitchen.
Four-Tomato Salsa
Sure, you could crack open a jar of store-bought salsa and call it a day. But this salsa is much more likely to garner compliments, and the addition of pepperoncini peppers makes it extra special.
Warm Spiced Nuts
If you want to really up your hosting game, pop these nuts in the oven right before your guests arrive. They’ll still be warm and toasty when the game starts.
Tex-Mex Popcorn
Microwave popcorn can be a little boring, but seasoned popcorn is fancy and elevated enough to serve at a party. With a few seasonings from the pantry, these buttered kernels will wow your guests.
Buffalo Wing Poppers
If you can’t decide between Buffalo wings and jalapeno poppers, I have good news: You don’t have to! You can stuff jalapeno peppers with blue cheese salad dressing, cooked chicken and buffalo wing sauce.
Baked Nachos
I’ve never met a nacho I didn’t like, and this recipe is a classic for a reason. To make it vegetarian, omit the ground beef or swap in a plant-based meat substitute.
Margarita Chicken Quesadillas
These quesadillas are worthy of their name: They’re drizzled with a tangy lime butter and sprinkled with salt. And, of course, it only makes sense to serve them with a selection of margarita recipes.
Pretzel Sticks Recipe
Take your party menu to the next level with these homemade pretzels, warm from the oven. They’re even tastier when dipped into queso!
Parmesan-Pretzel Crisps
There’s no need for store-bought crackers if you have some Parmesan cheese, crushed pretzels and crushed red pepper flakes on hand. Store any leftovers in a resealable plastic bag and crush them up to use as toppers on soup recipes later in the week.
Ham and Cheese Sliders
When you’re planning snacks for your Super Bowl party, think about foods that are handheld and hearty. These sliders absolutely fit the bill! Add banana peppers or pickle slices for a bit of tanginess.
Spanakopita Spring Rolls
When I think of the Super Bowl, cooked spinach doesn’t exactly come to mind. But don’t worry; these little spring rolls are filled with cheese and fried until crispy, so they’ll fit right in with the other snacks.
Cilantro & Lime Chicken with Scoops
This hearty dip is tangy and a little bit spicy, but you can take it easy on the chili powder if you want to keep things mild. Prep this recipe the day before the party so you focus on getting your house ready for the big game.
Queso Fundido
This Mexican-inspired cheese dip looks fancy but is secretly easy to make. The ingredients all cook in the same skillet, so there will only be one dish to clean when the party’s over.
Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
If saucy wings feel too messy for a crowded party, grab a toothpick and give these Buffalo chicken meatballs a whirl. They taste so good that the platter will disappear in a matter of minutes.
Teriyaki Beef Jerky
Believe it or not, you don’t need a dehydrator to make beef jerky at home: You can use your oven. It’s best to let the meat marinate overnight and cook for several hours on low heat, so start prepping this one at least a day or two before the Super Bowl.
Mini Chicken Chimis with Jalapeno Cream Cheese
Store-bought egg roll wrappers and green enchilada sauce make this recipe extra quick and easy. Double the jalapeno cream sauce so you’ll have enough to serve as a dip for chips.
Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
Tight on time? No problem: This dish can be prepped in advance. You can wrap up the egg rolls and freeze them in an airtight container for up to four months.
Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry
These particular puff pastries cook in the oven, but you can also make air-fryer ham and brie pastries if your oven is full. If you can’t find apricot preserves, apricot jam or jelly will do the trick.
Pizza Muffins
The best part about these cute little pizzas is that you can customize them based on your guests’ preferences. You can top them with veggies, pepperoni, ham, pineapple, or just sauce and cheese.
Roasted Buffalo Cauliflower Bites
This vegan alternative to wings is just as delicious as the original! Plus, it’s healthier than most Super Bowl snacks. If you include celery alongside it, it’s practically a salad, right?
Spicy Honey Sriracha Game-Day Dip
I’m a huge hot sauce fan, and Sriracha will always have a special place in my heart. Add a little more if you like it extra spicy, and try a small drizzle if you prefer a milder dip.
Puppy Chow
Puppy chow is a sweet snack mix made with cereal, peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar. Try it, then make another tasty variation, like brownie batter puppy chow and hot cocoa puppy chow.
Root Beer Pulled Pork Nachos
Yes, this dish calls for an entire can of root beer! But don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. According to our readers who’ve tested it, the soda makes the pork extra tender.
Cheeseburger Dip
Ground beef, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and pickles join forces for a savory slow-cooker dip that tastes great with chips, crackers, veggies or cubes of bread. Anyone who loves cheeseburger recipes will want second helpings of this one.
Air-Fried Pickles
Delight your Super Bowl party guests with a bowl of fried pickles on the snack table. Add a few snips of fresh dill to give them a fresh finish.
Pepper Jelly Hogs in a Blanket
If you loved pigs in a blanket as a kid, you’ll love this elevated version featuring a dollop of pepper jelly on top. Serve it with stone-ground mustard to keep it classy.
Grape Jelly and Chili Sauce Meatballs
Make this party-favorite appetizer even easier by cooking it in the slow cooker. Just place store-bought meatballs in the slow cooker, then add the grape jelly and chili sauce. Put the lid on and cook on low for four to six hours.
Pizza Sliders
If you can’t decide between pizza and sliders, why not have both? Complete your spread with a few of our other favorite slider recipes.
Buffalo Bites
If you have vegetarian or keto guests, these Buffalo cauliflower bites will hit the spot. The dip has a secret ingredient to keep things light: Greek yogurt.
Cajun Crab Poppers
You can buy lump crabmeat in the seafood section of the grocery store. Buy an extra can or two and make more of our favorite crab recipes.
Bacon Guacamole with Cotija Cheese
Everything’s better with bacon, and this winning guacamole recipe is proof. Sprinkle Cotija cheese on top to really impress your guests.
Super Bowl Snacks FAQ
What are the best finger foods for a Super Bowl party?
The best finger foods for a Super Bowl party are salty, sweet and savory snacks that can be enjoyed without a fork and knife. Try boneless chicken wings, pigs in a blanket, puppy chow and a selection of dips like guacamole and queso fundido. Include lots of items for dipping, like chips, crackers, cubes of bread and assorted veggies.
How can I make Super Bowl snacks healthier without sacrificing flavor?
To make healthier Super Bowl snacks, consider using an air fryer instead of a deep fryer. The air fryer cooks food quickly with much less oil than deep-fried or pan-fried methods, reducing the amount of calories. If you don’t have an air fryer, try baking Super Bowl snacks in the oven.
What Super Bowl snacks can be prepared in advance?
Some dips (like guacamole and queso) should be prepared the day of the party, but many snacks (like quick tortilla pinwheels and chicken bacon triangles) can be made in advance. The more recipes you can make beforehand, the more relaxed you’ll feel on the day of the party.
