Looking for the best Super Bowl food? Whether you tune into the big game to cheer on your team or watch the halftime show, having good snacks is absolutely essential! In this post, I’ve curated all my football food faves so you can throw the best Super Bowl party or bring the winning app to a friend’s. You’ll find delicious boards, fantastic dips, and even smaller snacks for mini gatherings.

No matter what you make, you’ll score big time with all your fellow sports fans!

The Best Super Bowl Boards

From arranging finger-licking good wings to whipping up a sweet football dessert, these boards have a little something for everyone! 

Football Cheese Ball

This savory, football-shaped cheese ball is super easy to make and even easier to eat! 

Football Dessert Board

Need something sweet? This cream cheese-based chocolate cheese ball is shaped like a football and super easy to tailor for the two league champions.

Build Your Own Hot Dog Board

Can you even have burgers without dogs? Not if you ask me! Whip up this board solo or alongside another—may I suggest the BYO Burger Board?

Game Day Meatball Board

Everyone loves a meatball! Especially when you pair them with veggies and other goodies. Best part? Use your favorite frozen brand for even easier prep!

Soft Pretzel Charcuterie Board

The only thing that could possibly make a cheese board better? Warm, salty soft pretzels, that’s what!

Game Day Wings Board

No game spread is complete without wings! No matter what your favorite rub and/or sauce is, throw this board together for a classic snack.

Build Your Own Bloody Mary Board

Instead of taking orders and making everyone’s drink… let your friends make their own with this board. It’s a win-win!

California Football Snack Board

This board was inspired by the 2021 Super Bowl in Los Angeles. Whether or not you live in Cali (like me!), this board has a great selection of fresh, healthyish snacks.

Build Your Own Burger Board

Sliders, smash burgers, gourmet patties—nothing is more classic than a burger! Set up this board with all the fixin’s for a touchdown.

The Best Super Bowl Sliders Recipe

When it comes to sliders, ham and Swiss is a go-to combo for a reason. And when you add King’s Hawaiian slider buns? You really can’t get much better! In this recipe, I’ve whipped up a buttery slider sauce to brush on top of the buns–it melds deliciously with the salty ham and creamy Swiss cheese.

The Best Party Dips

In my humble opinion, dips are the most important part of a Super Bowl party. They’re perfect on their own, but you can also add them to one of the boards above! Want more dip inspo? Check out more of my dip recipes here!

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Need I say more? If you’re still not convinced, this is a slow cooker recipe so your dip will stay warm and gooey the whole game (if it makes it past the first quarter!).

Blue Cheese Dip

This dip pairs perfectly with my Wings Board, but it’s just as delicious with crostini and crackers!

Rotel Dip

When it comes to hosting, it truly does not get easier (or tastier!) than Velveeta and Rotel cheese dip. All you have to do is brown the beef, then throw everything into a slow cooker an hour and a half before the big game.

Beer Cheese Dip

Craving your favorite sports bar grub? Whip up this dip and watch it get devoured just as fast!

Football Food for Small Groups

Having a quiet(er) night in? No prob! These mini charcuterie board options are perfect for you, your partner, and/or a friend or two. 

Jarcuterie

It’s exactly what it sounds like! A single-serve cheese board in each little jar. Maximal deliciousness, minimal mess. You can even make them football-themed with football toothpicks (here and here) like in the pic below.

Charcuterie Cones

Another single-serve option that’s especially easy for cleaning up.

Cheese Board For One (or two)

Watching the Big Game solo or with your fur friend? Whip up this mini board and settle in.
