Simple Solutions: Easy Super Bowl Snacks

If members of your household will be watching the Super Bowl this Sunday (or essentially any sporting event on television in the future) it is the perfect day for an appetizer buffet. You can make many of your snacks the day before the event and other items can be made fairly quickly on the day of the event. Then put them out on the counter so that everyone can help themselves whenever their hungry.

If you're having guests over, you might want to do a potluck buffet, but even if you do all the cooking yourself, you don't have to spend a lot of money or even a lot of time to make snacks for your family, friends, and fellow sports fans. Save time by getting ready made appetizers from your grocer's freezer or the refrigerated section of your deli. Check your deli for meats and hoagie buns, vegetable and meat trays, and desserts. Or buy pizza, wings, chicken fingers, or sandwiches from a fast food place. You can usually get a good deal on party platters.

Here are easy appetizer choices:

Chicken wings (plain, buffalo, honey barbeque)
Chicken fingers
Cheese fries/Chili Cheese Fries/Bacon Cheese Fries
Pizza (delivery or oven-baked)
Pizza Rolls & Mini Pizzas
Sub sandwiches
Hot dogs or chili dogs
Potato skins
Chips & dip (homemade, store bought, or check your deli section)
Potato wedges

Vegetable tray & dip (store bought or homemade
