Besides being a big day for sports lovers, the Super Bowl has become something of an unofficial food holiday.
The focus is usually on finger foods that are effortless to enjoy, allowing you to keep your eyes on the game without missing a moment.
Here’s a list of classic snacks that have become Super Bowl staples over the years, perfect for making and enjoying during the big game.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Americans devour roughly 1.47 billion chicken wings, with buffalo reigning as the clear favorite. Typically served alongside celery and ranch dressing, these savory bites have become a game-day tradition.
This finger food is perfect for cheese lovers. They're super easy to cook at home, making them a popular treat for the occasion.
Some have gone so far as to set up in-house "hot dog bars" on that iconic Sunday, offering a spread of toppings ranging from classic ketchup to hearty chili.
There’s no shortage of recipes online claiming to have the ultimate Super Bowl chip dip, whether it’s a cheesy creation or a savory onion blend. No matter which dip you swear by, it’s clear that this snack is a crowd favorite every time.
A big pile of crispy tortilla chips loaded with melted cheese, jalapeños, sour cream, guacamole and sometimes even beef or chicken make nachos a definite game-day essential.
These bite-sized burgers are packed with flavor and are perfect for snacking while watching the game.
Whether ordered in, or homemade, pizza is an extremely common food during the event. In 2023, the largest single order was made from Papa Johns, which included 500 2-topping pies.
A delicious, hand-held treat that can be made with endless combinations of sweet ingredients, it’s no wonder the cookie has become one of the most common Super Bowl desserts.
The balance of spicy jalapenos, rich cream cheese, and crispy coating on this indulgent finger food have made it a staple Super Bowl snack.
