  • We love our Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Shrimp! Not only is it easy to make, but the shrimp come out tender against the crispy and salty bacon (perfect combo of flavors) every single time!

Our Best Super Bowl Finger Food Ideas

Game day is all about eating with your fingers right? We picked out our favorite finger food recipes for you – and they are all mouth watering! All of our Super Bowl finger food ideas are perfectly sized to be able to be eaten in one or two bites, and with your fingers!

  • Our Hush Puppies are soft and fluffy fried pillows of a cornbread tasting dough. These are super addicting so plan to make more than one batch. We studded our hush puppies with sliced green onion, but you can leave them plain or even add things like crumbledbacon and shredded cheese to them! We serve it with a spicy honey drizzle which is delicious, but plain honey, or even honey mustard would also be delicious!
  • These Chicken Fried Potatoes are one of my favorites. Thinly sliced potatoes fried in a batter (like fried chicken!). They are seasoned to perfection to give them a ton of flavor. This is one of our best Super Bowl finger food ideas!

  • These Shrimp Fritters are one of our favorite finger foods. They are super crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside. These little fritters are insanely easy to eat an entire batch of by yourself. Don’t tell us we didn’t warn you.

Nachos – The Standard Super Bowl Snack

When I think of super bowl, I think of nachos. They go hand in hand, right? I mean who doesn’t love a huge plate of nachos? Here we have our best nacho Super Bowl recipes!

Some tips on making nachos:
Making them in a sheet pan lined with foil means you will have the easiest cleanup ever. The other thing I love about sheet pan nachos are the fact that you have enough space to evenly spread the nachos in an even thin layer to that all the toppings are on every chip. I hate it when you have chips at the bottom that are bare!

  • Our Sheet Pan Chipotle Chicken Nachos are at the top of this list because they deserve this spot. Juicy chicken in a chipotle sauce with a white cheese sauce and a bunch of toppings = the best nachos ever!
  • If you have picky eaters our DIY Nacho Bar is perfect. Everyone can build their own plate of nachos the exact way they want it! The queso sauce for this recipe is so creamy! Talk about a crowd pleasing Super Bowl snack!

  • For our Korean BBQ Nachos we use fried wonton wrappers, a kimchi cheese sauce, and bulgogi. This Super Bowl snack recipe is perfect if you’re looking to serve something delicious but unexpected!
  • Carne Asada Nachos are classic among the nacho genre. We love our carne asada recipe, and on top of nachos it’s perfect. We topped our nachos with all the usual suspects, guac, radish, corn, sour cream, but this recipe is so flexible you can just go for it and add whatever toppings you love best.

Unexpected Super Bowl Food Ideas

Yes. More Super Bowl food ideas. You didn’t think we would be done, did you? Here we have some our favorite not so classic but still very delicious Super Bowl food.

  • Potstickers are maybe not something you think of when you think of Super Bowl, but you should! You can totally eat these with your hands which makes them perfect. You can also make a batch ahead and freeze until you are ready. Easy peasy!
  • Our Charcuterie Flatbreads are maybe slightly fancy for Super Bowl, but they are so good so I thought they should be included. These have burrata and prosciutto, the bests parts of any charcuterie board, piled on flatbreads, then drizzled with honey and crushed nuts. We keep these pretty simple, but you can add anything like pickled mushrooms (which are delicious!) or sliced olives on these flatbreads! You can even cut the flatbreads up to make this appetizer bite sized. A perfect Super Bowl food idea.

    I use to make more than half of these appetizers. I always add my taco salad. Made it my whole life and my kids still make it and now my grandkids are making it. Salami rolls also is another favorite
