100 Super Bowl Party Foods That Are Better Than A Touchdown
When your eats are touchdown-worthy, it doesn't matter who wins or loses!
We don't know about you, but watching the Super Bowl (Feb. 12, 2023) makes us extra ravenous. Maybe it’s watching the athletes hustle, all the angry yelling at the TV we’re doing, or the nail-biting anxiety we have over who’s going to win. Whatever it is, we’ve got you covered. These Super Bowl party apps, snacks, desserts, and more will make sure you and your guests don’t go hungry this year. From dips to sliders, wings to desserts, we’ve got it ALL.
And did we mention how easy they are? We know not everyone’s got the patience to construct mini appetizers, and luckily, you don’t have to. When we’re short on time, we love the trick of making one large sandwich out of a Bundt pan, making a casserole out of classics like chili dogs or tater tots, or throwing together a big pot of chili that everyone can enjoy. There’s also nothing easier than nachos (except maybe making a nacho tower in a can?), and chips and dip are classic for a reason. Grab some disposable serving ware, and you’ll be party-ready in no time.
Hosts with the most, don’t fret! We’ve got tons of bite-size options for you too, from Buffalo wings to the ever-popular pigs in a blanket. Nothing screams Super Bowl like sliders, and ours think outside the box, from Philly cheesesteak to French dip to a pull-apart cheeseburger. Speaking of outside the box, we’re also pretty obsessed with unconventional egg rolls. Filled with things like meatball sub ingredients or chili cheese dogs, they’re kind of the perfect handheld party food.
When you really want to impress, we recommend going with something football-shaped—truly, is there anything cuter? We’ve got a loaded football cheese ball, a pigskin in a blanket, and a pepperoni football, but we’re particularly fond of it in dessert form. Check out our football brownies, cupcakes, cookies, or football cake to see why.
Want even more game day options? Now you’ve got the food all set, don’t forget about Super Bowl drinks too!
Blooming Quesadilla Ring
Buffalo chicken is one of our fave flavor combos ever, and this creamy, spicy technique is one of our favorite ways to serve it. It's the best, most impressive way to make quesadillas for a crowd this Super Bowl Sunday.
Get the Blooming Quesadilla Ring recipe.
Loaded Fries
You could just have normal, plain old fries. You could even have double-fried fries. But in our minds, when you really want to make yourself some fried spuds that are extra special, you have to make these LOADED fries.
Get the Loaded Fries recipe.
Spinach-Artichoke Buns
What’s the key to a Super Bowl Sunday snack that people can’t get enough of? Start with a classic, then give it a spin—here we took iconic spinach and artichoke dip and turned it into a bun. Doesn’t get much better (or more indulgent!) than that.

Spicy Apricot Glazed Wings
If you’re looking to expand your horizons beyond classic Buffalo wings, this recipe is a great place to start. They’re just as spicy but also super-savory, sticky, and juuust sweet enough. With a sauce like this, you don’t even need blue cheese dressing. (Then again... we're not stopping ya!)

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
Craving something a little more creative than your average Buffalo wings? Enter: Buffalo chicken meatballs. Ready in just 30 minutes, these meatballs are a flavor-packed app you can have ready in no time, so you don't have to miss any of the big game.

Ranch Wings
If the best (undebatable) wing flavor and sauce combination is hot Buffalo wings and ranch dip, then it stands to reason that a ranch wing with hot Buffalo dip would be equally delicious—right? Damn right.
Get the Ranch Wings recipe.
Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip
We love baked spinach dip more than we like to admit (if it were up to us, we'd have dip for dinner), and this is one of our faves. The smoky bacon bits make it feel extra fancy, but feel free to skip for vegetarians. It's got enough going on with the three types of cheese.
Get the Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip recipe.
French Dip Sliders
Packed with tender sliced beef and melty cheese, these sliders are just as warm and satisfying as a full-size French dip sandwich. Trust us, and make extra of that au jus.

Nachos Supreme
In 1943, some wives of U.S. soldiers stationed at Fort Duncan in Eagle Pass, Texas, were on a shopping trip in the bordering city of Piedras Negras, Mexico. They stopped at a just-closed restaurant. Not wanting to disappoint his customers, the maître d’, Ignacio "El Nacho" Anaya, was determined to whip something up for them. He made due with what was left in the kitchen—tortillas, cheese, and pickled jalapeños—and served what would go on to be called "Nacho's especiales". TMYK!
Get the Nachos Supreme recipe.
Hawaiian Roll Sliders
These sliders—layered with ham, Swiss, and caramelized onions—will quickly become a MUST at any Super Bowl party you throw. Besides being a sure hit with guests, these slider rolls are great because they are so easy to put together. Split the rolls, layer them, bake them, and in just a few minutes, you have a dozen hot, mind-blowing mini sandwiches.

These fun little hybrids are exactly what they sound like—all of the fillings you'd find in a meatball sub loaded into an egg roll wrapper and deep-fried until golden brown, delicious, and perfect for folks who don't want their hands covered in hot marinara sauce.
