Take Your Super Bowl Spread
to Another Level

Easy to tackle snacks that are guaranteed to score with your guests.

January 24, 2018

Don't be the guy that invites people over only to have a bag of chips and a tub of dip out on the coffee table. Your guests will want (and expect) more and frankly, so should you. But here's the good news: You don't necessarily have to have game in the kitchen to win on Super Bowl Sunday. There's no need to whip up an elaborate feast. We're all going to be eating around the TV, right? So prepare a few appetizers, throw them on the counter and let people graze away. We found the best recipes for our favorite Hall of Famer apps. Make your grocery list now so you'll be prepared for kickoff on February 4.

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Classier than a jar of queso and able to be served with everything from chips and crackers to bread and even veggies, this creamy and cheesy dip is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. It takes a little effort to pull together but you can make it the day before and simply pop it in the oven on game day.
