The countdown to game day, February 3rd, is getting down to the wire. The New England Patriots will face off against the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII, and fans will tell you that it’s going to be a great game. If you’re hosting the Super Bowl party this year, or agreed to bring a few apps to a friend’s house, we’ve compiled a list of amazing game-day snacks and appetizers that may just become the belle of your Superbowl ball (say that five times fast). These recipes are easy and will keep everyone entertained (and fed, most importantly).
What makes a great Super Bowl appetizer or finger food is definitely debatable. To us, a perfect game-day app is easy to eat, meaning it can make the trip between hand and mouth without causing a scene, is usually bite-sized, and can probably fit into the “dip” category.
However, the below food bloggers have blown our minds with their creative and unique takes on party treats. We’re totally rethinking everything we thought we knew about game-day food, and our mouths are watering at all the below suggestions. Like, hello — warm crab dip? Korean Beef Nachos? Minds. Blown. Party food is important, and these recipe ideas are the bomb. We made sure to include vegetarian, gluten-free, healthy, and vegan Super Bowl recipe ideas as well, because it’s always a good idea to be as accommodating as possible.
Grab your grocery list and expand your budget because your Super Bowl party spread is about to get even so much yummier!
