Super Bowl Sunday is just days away, and while not everyone may be excited about the football, we know that there’s one game-day trend that gets everyone drooling: Super Bowl snacks. Any after-holiday diets may have to put be on hold for the evening, but we’ve got 8 delicious recipes that we think are totally worth the calories.
Homemade Popcorn
You thought we were going to start with sliders, right? But not all Super Bowl food has to leave you schlepping to the gym in the morning with a gut full of guilt. Popcorn is a versatile snack that comes in many varieties, most of them healthy! Love nuts? Or prefer white chocolate? Either way, we have a recipe for that.
Mini Burgers With The Works
That said, no Super Bowl party is complete without sliders. This no-nonsense recipe from Taste of Home relies on the microwave, so you don’t have to freeze outside manning the grill to have some meat.
Pizza Sliders
If burgers aren’t your thing, that doesn’t mean you can’t serve up some sliders. These Pizza Sliders are the creation of the bloggers at Circle B. Kitchen. For those who want to create delicious rolls from scratch, here is your chance (and instructions) to do so. Rather keep it simple? This recipe works just as well with store bought pizza dough.
Jalapeno Poppers
This is the completely calorie-loaded, completely worth it snack you’ve been dying for. Fresh jalapeno peppers filled with cheese and wrapped up in juicy bacon are irresistible in this recipe from Food.com.
Easy 7-Layer Dip
Dip is another usual Super Bowl Sunday suspect that every party as to have. We like this simple one with 7 layers of yumminess from CDKitchen.com, made of sour cream, guac, tomatoes, olives.
Another healthy treat: this quick and easy recipe is a healthy complement to many of the heavier, traditional Super Bowl sides. It takes no more than half an hour from start to finish.
Cinnamon Apple Fluff Supreme
Surprise guests by adding fruit to the menu and serving this apple dip. This recipe really could not be simpler–and the results could not be more satisfying.
Reese’s Stuffed Cookies
While we’re on the subject of sweet treats, these cookies from She’s Game Sports is another quick-fix that involves only pre-prepared ingredients. Don’t worry, you’re definitely not sacrificing taste for convenience–once you start eating these cookies, it’ll be very hard to stop.
