Most Popular Super Bowl Snacks To Serve On Super Bowl Sunday

A Super Bowl party is as much about the food as it is about the football game. Having a good appetizer spread is an essential part of any big game gathering, and it can be argued that the Super Bowl is as big of a food-consumption holiday as any that we celebrate. Yes, that means you, too, Thanksgiving.
So what are the must-have, essential dishes that a party host should have out on the table? Here are the top-ten Super Bowl food options:
Top-Ten Food Options For Super Bowl Sunday
Honorable Mention: Deviled Eggs; Artichoke Dip & Bread; Popcorn
10. Sliders
Full sized burgers may be too much for a game day spread, making sliders a convenient and delicious choice. They are versatile, with both chicken and beef varieties, or maybe even pulled pork sliders topped with a nice cold slaw. Be sure to serve with a variety of toppings available to party goers.
9. Jalapeño poppers
Jalapeño poppers can wind up being one of the stars of the snack table if done correctly. It can be a nice vegetarian option, fried and stuffed with yummy cream cheese, or can be open-faced with some crumbled bacon to compliment. Serve with a dipping sauce like ranch or aioli cream, or even some hot sauce for those wanting even more heat on the tongue.
8. Super Bowl themed charcuterie board
Charcuterie boards are a popular feed-all presentation, with pickings that include meats, vegetables, cheeses, and crackers. The set-up will last throughout the entirety of the Super Bowl party, and can provide lighter options during the second half for those who have indulged in the heavy stuff early on.
A fun way to celebrate is to decorate the charcuterie board in a football theme.
7. Meatballs
The convenience is what really makes meatballs a top-10 choice when it comes to Super Bowl snacks. Perfect for a pot luck, they can be made cooked and marinated in a crock pot, which makes bringing a dish to a party a breeze. There are plenty of sauce varieties to choose from, whether it be a classic marinara, barbecue, or an always-popular grape jelly flavor. They’re easy to serve, too. Just don’t forget the tooth picks at home.
6. Pigs in a blanket
In the same vein as sliders being mini-hamburgers, pigs in a blanket are an option for hot dog lovers. They may be a bit more laborious to make from scratch, but they are a nice bite-sized option, especially if there are children and young ones grabbing for food off of the table. Serve them with a fancy mustard or some classic Frenches.
5. Potato skins
French fries get cold too quickly in a Super Bowl spread, so get your spud fix with some tasty potato skins. Like the jalapeño poppers, there are options as far as toppings, including bacon bits and chives. But the main and more important ingredient should be the melty, gooey cheese. Serve with sour cream as a dip or topping.
4. Chili
Another easy crock-pot helping. The Super Bowl being played in early February means that a nice bowl of chili could be just what someone needs to warm up on a frigid winter day. There are plenty of toppings to choose from like sour cream, onion, or even avocado, but an essential is the shredded cheese. The chili can be integrated with other foods, as well. Maybe you want to throw some on a slider, or use the tortilla chips to dip and scoop. Maybe even take a meatball or two and plop them in the chili bowl.
There are few foods that are better as leftovers, but chili is certainly one of them. That makes for a nice perk for the host of the party should the pot go unfinished.
3. Chips and dip

One of the three must-have staples at a Super Bowl party. There should be a variety of chip options for attendees, including standalone picks like Doritos. But two of the absolute essentials are tortilla chips and Fritos scoops, both for the sake of dipping purposes.
And don’t just stick to salsa or bean dip. The whole idea can turn into a meal in itself if you have a 7-layer dip, and a nice, warm queso goes perfectly with either chip. If Ruffles are in the offering, be sure to provide an onion dip of some sort. Don’t forget the granddaddy of them all that could be in its own category entirely: guacamole.
2. Pizza
If a local restaurant is running a “Super Bowl Special”, it is likely that pizza is involved. It can be argued that pizza is the most important food option, given the variety. Nothing beats the classic all-cheese, and of course pepperoni is a must-have staple. Large pies have gotten far more expensive over the years, so look to take advantage of any specials. But be sure to order early and have ample time to pick up (or have delivered), as you can be sure that pizza parlors are having one of their busiest days of the year.
Chain pizza is always a good option for a Super Bowl party, as well. Whether it be Dominos or Round Table, you can be sure that it will be perhaps the most popular fare on the serving table.
1. Chicken Wings
It is hard to argue with the statistics. There are exponentially more chicken wings consumed in the United States on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year, and Americans are predicted to eat 1.47 billion wings during the game in 2025. If you laid those wings out end-to-end, you could get from Kansas City to Philadelphia…63 times.
The classic is of course the bone-in wings, and the argument rages on of whether drums or flats are the superior choice. Bone-ins should dominate the wing plate, but you could provide a boneless option as well to appease to all. There is plenty of variety when it comes to a sauce for the wings, but there are only two essentials when it comes to dip: ranch and blue cheese.
