A collage of Game Day Appetizers including sliders, cheese dip, pizza rolls and Chex Mix

Whether or not you’re a hardcore football fan, you have to admit Game Day Appetizers have tons of appeal.

Even if you only watch the Super Bowl to check out the much talked about commercials and halftime show, then you still need snacks! Don’t find yourself fumbling the ball at the goal line! Thrill your favorite football fans on game day with plenty of delicious snacking options while cheering from the sidelines.

You’ll need a few delicious first downs to get across the goal line and avoid those pesky penalties. There’s no instant replay on the buffet table, so get the playbook out and rally your key players! As head coach you’ll be in charge. Assign a team captain to help and make it a fun and delicious event by planning ahead and avoiding interceptions with every pass. Kick off time!

    I’m sure I could learn to love football if it comes with such delicious food. It is not played around here so I don’t know much about it, but the food looks amazing. Wouldn’t know where to begin.

      Thanks Amalia – it’s such a big deal here, even though we’re not huge fans of any one team. It’s often exciting anyway … and the food is great!
