Editorial Guidelines Updated on January 4, 2024 Close Photo: Lennart Weibull You might not be sprinting up and down a field (or tackling, leaping, or kicking), but watching the big game makes you hungry—and that's where Super Bowl snacks come in. They're the perfect fuel for a game-day viewing party. We've got plenty of MVPs, like hot wings, nachos, and cheesy dips, along with some rising stars, like fried mac-and-cheese bites and white pizza. These fan-favorite Super Bowl snack ideas will sustain you through any exhilarating triumph, or—we hate to even say it—an agonizing defeat. 26 Super Bowl Appetizers That Will Win Big on Game Day 01 of 33 Mozzarella-Stuffed Garlic-and-Herb Bread Nico Schinco Consider this snack a clever take on the best part of a stuffed-crust pizza—the crust. It's a crowd pleaser: The easy dough is filled with low-moisture mozzarella and topped with garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. View Recipe 02 of 33 Stuffed-Pepper Bites Seth Smoot Colorful mini peppers stuffed with your choice of ground meat and flavorings are a snack that satisfies. Our recipe offers three different options; lamb with mint and feta, turkey with Parmesan and lemon, and pork with ginger, lemongrass, and cilantro. View Recipe 03 of 33 Fake-Out Flautas Jonathan Lovekin The fake-out part of these bean-filled tortilla snacks is that they're baked, not fried, making them a less-mess option for your Super Bowl party. View Recipe 04 of 33 Pigs In a Blanket Nicole Franzen If there was an MVP of Super Bowl snacks it would be Pigs in a Blanket. They are a dish everyone loves and expects on game day. Our version uses your favorite fully cooked sausages such as frankfurters, andouille, or chicken sausages, and frozen puff pastry. View Recipe 05 of 33 Baked Potato Poppers Jonathan Lovekin These crispy potato puffs copy, but far surpass any found in the frozen section of your supermarket. Baked rather than deep-fried, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and meltingly soft on the inside. Our secret? Panko breadcrumbs are essential to the dish's success, providing the crispiest crunch. View Recipe 06 of 33 Cheesy Soppressata Pull-Apart Bread Lennart Weibull Another candidate for a snack that's sure to go fast, this easy cheesy bread is made using store-bought or homemade pizza dough. Mozzarella and soppressata bring the creamy, meaty touches and hot honey is the final flourish. View Recipe 07 of 33 Bacon-Blue Cheese Sandwiches Blue cheese, bacon, and onion jam come together to create an epic hot sandwich to fuel watching the Super Bowl. View Recipe 08 of 33 Mozzarella Sticks Bryan Gardner Wow your crowd with homemade mozzarella sticks. They can be breaded and frozen for up to two months in advance, so you're not rushing to the finish line before the party starts. View Recipe 09 of 33 Caramelized Mustard-Marmalade Wings Marcus Nilsson Rather than spicy buffalo sauce, try this sweet and sharp combination on roasted chicken wings. The sauce is made from whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, orange marmalade, and cayenne pepper. View Recipe 10 of 33 Slow-Cooker Queso Con Poulos Ensure that your queso stays ooey-gooey all night long by making it in a slow cooker.

Cut into small slices for a delicious game-day snack.

Instead of making one big, shareable nacho plate, offer guests their own individual servings on game day. View Recipe 29 of 33 Stuffed Jalapeños It's time to up your Super Bowl appetizer game. These fiery jalapeños, with their cheesy filling, will score major points at the snack table. View Recipe 30 of 33 Crispy Chickpea Snack Bryan Gardner Chickpeas aren't exactly a game day staple, but we think they should be. Flavored with garam masala, salt, and pepper they take on the texture of nuts. Don't be surprised if they're gone before kick-off.
