Feb. 7 will bring the most anticipated football game of the year–The Super Bowl.
Hosting a Super Bowl party can be a lot of work, and planning the food guests will eat can take time. Here are 10 of the most popular game day snack foods to make the process a little easier.
Nachos are one of the most common snack foods found at any Super Bowl party. Nachos can be topped with anything a person desires. Party nachos tend to be topped with a lot of cheese, jalapeños and various other toppings. One website calls such a dish “macho nachos.” The recipe can be found on www.iwashyoudry.com.
Pigs in a blanket are seen at many parties as a simple snack that feeds a lot of people. They only require mini hot dogs and crescent rolls. This bite-sized snack does not have to be simple. It can be cooked in any way. The Food Network website gives a recipe that adds a little extra flavor to pigs in a blanket. The recipe can be found at www.foodnetwork.com.
Super Bowl parties are all about cooking food that makes enough to feed larger groups of people. One snack item that makes several servings are sliders. The most common type of slider is the cheeseburger slider. It is a small take on a regular hamburger or cheeseburger. A recipe for this Super Bowl snack can be found at www.life-in-the-lofthouse.com.
For those who may want a lighter choice in snacks, vegetable plates are often a popular, healthier alternative. Veggie plates can most often be found at local grocery stores.
Dips are also a favorite. The most popular dips include guacamole, bean dip and cheese dip. One dip that is a little out of the ordinary is pizza dip. It requires a little more work to make, but it encompasses dip along with another popular party choice: pizza. The recipe for pizza dip can be found at www.smellgoodkitchen.com.
Most Super Bowl parties also have snack options for those who have a sweet tooth.
One of the most popular sweet treats is brownies. Brownies can serve a good number of people and many people enjoy a good brownie. If one wants to take the time to make homemade brownies, a recipe can be found at www.inspiredtaste.net. If one is pressed for time, boxed brownies are just as popular and can be found at local grocery stores.
Cupcakes are also a popular dessert that serves many. Like brownies, cupcakes can be boxed or homemade. Basic homemade cupcake ideas can be found at www.realsimple.com, including chocolate and vanilla.
Chocolate covered pretzels are a popular way to encompass both salty and sweet flavors. Chocolate covered pretzels can serve many people and are not a messy snack. If white drizzle is added to the chocolate, the pretzels can be made to look like footballs and fit the Super Bowl theme. This recipe can be found at www.sheaved.com.
A very popular and easy dessert is cookies. Just like brownies and cupcakes, cookie dough can be bought at the store, or homemade. A homemade cookie recipe can be found at www.handle.heat.com.
