50 Mini Super Bowl Snacks Everyone Will Crave

Baking soda is the secret to an easy-yet-impressive pretzel effect.

If you’re not familiar with the delightful finger food that is a hanky-panky, allow us to introduce you. They’re basically pumpernickel squares topped with a gooey mix of cheese and sausage, and they’re sure to be a hit.

Don’t forget the sweet side of your snacking fête. These bite-size cookies will disappear by the handful.

The Contessa says these freeze-ahead bites are easy to make and ideal for entertaining, and what the Contessa says goes.

For airy, fluffy treats, try to not pack the mixture down into the pan too much.

Downsizing the nachos means you can finally get a perfect cheese-to-chip ratio in every bite.

You’re in it to win it, right? Welp, the crowd is gonna go wild for these cheesy bites, which come together in a mini muffin tin.

If you have to have at least one veggie in your spread, make it these cuties. Store-bought pizza dough is the key to their crispy wrappers.

Shh, no need to tell anyone these start with rotisserie chicken.

Aren’t you classy? Dish these up with tangy dipping sauce and cute toothpicks and watch them disappear like magic.

You don’t even have to break your diet to enjoy the snack spread.

Bring on all of the fixings—in this case, chives, bacon, cheddar cheese and sour cream. Baking the chips instead of frying them means cleanup is a breeze.

The heat will sneak up on you. (And if you can’t find shishitos, just used jalapeños.)

Let’s make dessert apps a thing, shall we? These fair-favorites are as easy to make as a batch of pancakes.

Load ’em up with your favorite toppings, like ground beef, cheese, salsa and shredded lettuce.

Here’s a pro tip for breading the nugs: When you set up your dredging station, designate one hand for dipping in the dry ingredients and one for the eggs. You’ll avoid the usual mess that happens when the wets and drys mix together.

Toasted bread is so last Super Bowl. This year, we’re all about the sweet potato.

Oh, that noise? That’s just our stomach grumbling at the thought of melty Brie.

Give the people what they want (and don’t forget the dipping sauce).

Caution: These will be gone way before halftime. The crust is actually small cutouts of flour tortillas—smart, right?

As we always say, never trust a person who doesn’t like fried cheese. These irresistible bites call for less than ten ingredients.

Don’t forget the guac and salsa, OK? (FYI, the shells are store-bought wonton wrappers.)

Crunchy and crave-able (and kinda sorta healthy). Serve them with the accompanying lemon-pepper aioli for the full effect.

For a pinkies-out type of game watch, serve these soup-inspired puff pastry apps.

New favorite party game: Gobble all of these up before anyone notices. The homemade cranberry filling comes together with just a few simple ingredients.

With these around, it doesn’t matter who’s winning. Want to shortcut it? Use frozen waffles and don’t look back.

The spicy, sticky and sweet combo never gets old.

Oh look, an excuse to open some wine. If you want to make these ahead, just warm them in the oven before serving.

Aka the low carb finger food everyone will love.

Add these to your Super Bowl party spread and get an A+ in the looks department. (Thanks again to those store-bought wonton wrappers.)

Simple but scrumptious is our favorite way to snack. These bites are just three ingredients, but the savory-salty-sweet combo is *chef’s kiss.*

They’re so much better than the store-bought kind, and surprisingly easy to pull off. Plus, you can make them up to a week in advance.

Vegetarian-friendly and ready in 30 minutes? Everybody wins.

Just try to resist these tasty morsels. (Psst: They’re so easy to make with store-bought dough as your starting point.)

As it turns out, you can do a lot with frozen puff pastry.

They’re baked to mini perfection. Even better, you can freeze these bundles for up to a month, so if you make a double batch, you’ll be well prepared for your next shindig.

Basically the dip, only better, thanks to puff pastry and Parmesan. They’re ready in 35 minutes, too.

They’re small, so gobbling up three (or five) is a no-brainer. The real question is, will you dip in blue cheese or ranch?

Where have you been all our life? (Waiting for us to discover you can make empanadas from store-bought pie crust, we guess.)

Think of them like reverse pigs-in-blankets.

The five-ingredient dipping sauce is well worth the effort—and by effort, we mean stirring everything together in a bowl.

A gluten-free appetizer the whole fam will enjoy.

Whip up this Super Bowl snack in under an hour.

They’re fancy homemade chicken nuggets. Need we say more?

The light and crispy phyllo shells won’t weigh you down. (Go ahead, have another.)

If a personal pizza and a cheese plate had a very delicious baby.

Behold the three C’s: crispy, cheesy and cute. Use two skewers or chopsticks to guide your slices, so each spud stays intact.

Store-bought phyllo shells are your new BFF.

The fancy-ish toppings keep these from venturing into kiddie territory.

Honey, we shrunk the bread bowls (and we’re not mad about it). If the thought of making everything from scratch has you shuddering, break it up over a few days of work.
