Mozzarella-Stuffed Garlic-and-Herb Bread
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.
Stuffed-Pepper Bites
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.
Fake-Out Flautas
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.
Pigs In a Blanket
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.
Baked Potato Poppers
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.
Cheesy Soppressata Pull-Apart Bread
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.
Bacon-Blue Cheese Sandwiches
Blue cheese, bacon, and onion jam come together to create an epic hot sandwich to fuel watching the Super Bowl.
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.
Caramelized Mustard-Marmalade Wings
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.
Slow-Cooker Queso
Con Poulos
Ensure that your queso stays ooey-gooey all night long by making it in a slow cooker. Cornstarch helps to bind pepper Jack and American cheese together, and a combination of chopped red onion, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro are game-winning toppings everyone will love.
Kettle Chip Nachos
We've swapped out tortilla chips for kettle chips and cheddar for gouda and blue cheese in this deliciously unorthodox take on the classic.
Ham-and-Spinach Dip
Whether you serve this creamy Spanish-inspired dip with crackers or fresh peppers, you can't go wrong. Just don't forget the beer!
Easy Waffle Chips
These salty snacks are always in Martha's starting lineup—in fact, they're one of her all-time favorite potato recipes.
Beer-Battered Onion Rings
Doused in a buttermilk-beer batter, dusted with cayenne, and finished with a spritz of lemon, these homemade onion rings are all we need for game day—or any day, really.

Our favorite buffalo wings are coated in cornstarch and fried twice before being tossed in a buttery hot sauce. Serve them with the traditional accompaniments—homemade blue cheese dressing, plus carrots and celery sticks—and watch them go fast.
Cheesy Lentil and Black Bean Nachos
A winning snack for vegetarian football fans, this hearty nacho dish swaps out ground beef for portobello-mushroom caps stewed with black beans, lentils, and fire-roasted tomatoes.
Fried Macaroni-and-Cheese Bites
Your favorite player is headed straight to the end zone, and you can't help but leap to your feet! But what about that plate of macaroni and cheese that was on your lap seconds ago? To avoid a macaroni mess, try this bite-size fried mac and cheese option.
Honey-Chipotle Turkey Meatballs
These sweet-and-spicy bites are a guaranteed touchdown. They're as addicitvely spicy as Buffalo wings and they'll go just as fast.
White Pizza With Pickled Onions and Peppers
The unbeatable combination of soppressata, pickled onions and peppers, fresh parsley, and three kinds of cheese—ricotta, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan—means this pizza is destined to become a new fan favorite. Cut into small slices for a delicious game-day snack.
Tequila-Lime Chicken Drumsticks
Pair tequila and lime with honey for a power-packed marinade that pulls double duty. Once the drumsticks are done soaking, the marinade is reduced into a delectable glaze on the stove top.
Lina Kulchinsky's Soft Pretzels
Make these yeasted pretzels ahead of time, and all you have to do on game day is warm them up and set out mustard and cornichons.

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.
Crispy Chickpea Snack

Skillet Chili Nachos
