NPR: Super Bowl Snacks!

[nchauhan]

I'm making rattlesnake bites! Ground beef, cream cheese and jalapeños wrapped in crescent rolls. Yum! People can dip it in salsa or pasta sauce. Easy to make and always a big hit.

I'm making a pizza - probably margherita. The other snacks are being made by the supermarket - we do Doritos, soda, and I usually like a big bowl of melon.

[mrsh2010]

I'm making a few bad but oh so good appetizers.

Spinach dip
Cheesy bacon dip
& bacon and cheese wrapped tator tots

Never heard of these before but they sound really good!

Thank you for posting this! I could use some new ideas of things that are really simple. We always slow cook meat out in our smoker overnight and I'm sure we'll do deviled eggs but other than that I'm not sure what else to do that isn't store bought.


ETA: We usually host about a dozen people, nearly half of which are children.

I think I'm gonna do buffalo chicken wonton cups. We have a ton of people coming over so in making pulled pork for sandwiches. I'm trying to think of other easy snacks to go with it.

It's just going to be the 3 of us, so we'll have chips and salsa for DS (he calls them football snacks), and then a charcuterie plate for DH and me. Olives, bread, a couple of types of cheese, and salami, soppressata or prosciutto.

maybe some chocolate fondue-y things too.

We're going to a party elsewhere and I have to bring an appetizer, so I need something that I can make at home, that travels well, and doesn't need an oven. I'm thinking spinach/bacon tortilla rollups.

[turtletyme]

DH always requests seven layer dip. We make ourselves sick on it, then don't want it again til summer.

[mcp6286]

Buffalo chicken dip is our big winner every year. You can eat it on ANYTHING and it tastes delicious!

[daydreamernyc]

We are doing home made pizzas. So easy and delicious. A bit messy though!

[courtyowl27]

These little sandwiches are to die for, easy, and feed a lot!

Also planning some sort of bacon cheddar dip if sorts. EAT ALL THE FOODS!!!!!

[beersandweirs]

Oh man, I am going to make so many poor food choices this Sunday, and I can't wait!

Ooh, I saw those bacon cheddar tots the other day! You need to report back how they are.

DH's birthday is tomorrow (we're going up to Kentucky to catch a UK basketball game) so I promised him I'd make him whatever he wanted to eat for the superbowl. He's requested bbq wings, homemade soft pretzels and chocolate cake with strawberries. Kind of a weird mix.. haha but I'll do it if it makes him happy! The rest of you guys are making me so hungry with all of your snack ideas!

[sully326]

Wings on the Grill
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Crab Dip
Sausage & Cheese Dip
BBQ Lil Smokies
Stuffed Mushrooms

Then we'll also have Chips, Fruit Tray, Veggie Tray & Cheese Tray. Then people are bringing stuff too...Needless to say, there's going to be a lot of food.

Cream cheese, crumbled browned sausage and 2 cans of Rotel (tomatoes and peppers). Put in crock pot for a bit until it melts.... Serve as warm dip. Yummmm.

Super bowl is this weekend?? Ha, actually I figured it out after seeing some posts on facebook today, but seriously if not for those posts I'd be oblivious.

Best appetizer ever = bacon wrapped dates baked in the oven.
Best Guacamole = link

This thread is making me hungry.

[daydreamernyc]

Had a change in plans and we are now making chili!! I'm a vegetarian so we are doing it with mock meat. Im so excited since I haven't had chili in ages. We bought corn tortillas, sour cream and shredded cheese to go with it.

Bonus.... We also made home made strawberry frozen yogurt!

Looking at that guacamole recipe has just made me crave some so bad. It sounds delicious!  Fresh ingredients are the best.

We've got a mexi theme going. Homemade guacamole a hot green chile chicken dip. For dipping we have chips, veggies, and taquitos. I know my heartburn will regret it but I'm ready to start eating.

[Widget123]

Decided to make nchauhan 's rattlesnake bites and nachos.

[flbabychin]

Yum! All of this food sounds delicious. I'm going to have to try these rattlesnake bites sometime. We're making wings: some with a Sriacha sauce and the others are BBQ. And we have some veggies with dip, chips, and cupcakes. So much junk food.

[curlyrunner]

Didn't want to leave the house to get groceries, so I had to get creative! I made Rocky Road Brownies and guacamole. I also am going to make dill pickle chips. Not a strong theme...pregnancy!

OMG so delicious!  DH thought I was a little skimpy on the cream cheese and I left them in the oven a little too long but it didn't matter.  Love them!
