Game Day Snacks

Browse lots of different game day snacks to enjoy during the big game. I’ve rounded up my favorite snack and appetizer recipes including chicken wings, sliders, dips, and other creative savory bites that are great for parties.

My favorite thing about watching football is the food and so I thought I’d share some recipes I love to make when we have guests over to watch a game. I hope you find some snacks to try.

Bacon Cheddar Pull Apart Bread | This cheesy bread is easy to make with a store-bought bread round. All you do is slice it and then stuff it with cheddar cheese and bacon.

Pepperoni Cheese Ball | A cream cheese ball with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese is shaped into a football and decorated with pepperoni. It’s a fun snack for a game day party.

Bacon Wrapped Avocado Fries | I love the combination of bacon and avocado and these fries are a great way to use them. The soft and creamy avocado slices are wrapped in crispy bacon for fun finger food.

Avocado Eggrolls | Hot and crispy fried eggrolls filled with guacamole are a fun twist on traditional eggrolls. Add the creamy cilantro-ranch sauce flavored with chives and other seasonings on the side for dipping.

Bacon Wrapped Eggplant Fries | Or, try wrapping sliced eggplant with bacon to make delicious fries.

Chicken Fritters | Savoy fritters garnished with scallions with a dipping sauce on the side are a delicious snack for a crowd.

Blooming Onion Pizza Bread | This pull apart bread is inspired by a blooming onion and pizza flavors combined into one.

General Tso’s Chicken Sandwiches | These easy sliders combine a sandwich with a favorite take-out dish.

Brazillian Cheese Breads | These chewy rolls are really easy to make and a great snack. You can make them with a variety of different cheeses and this version has Gouda.

Breakfast Totchos | If the game starts early, treat everyone to some sheet pan totchos for brunch!

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites | These are a lighter take on buffalo wings but instead of wings, I coat cauliflower florets in a delicious buffalo sauce.

Loaded Nachos | Carne Asada piled on tortilla chips with lots of nacho toppings like guacamole, sour cream, green onions, and salsa.

Bulgogi Sliders | These sliders have Korean-inspired marinated beef and are easy to make. They’re a nice twist on a traditional slider and great for parties.

Sausage Rolls | These are like pigs in a blanket but bigger and wrapped with super soft milk bread. Or try my mini Pretzel Sausage Rolls which are bite-sized.

Honey Garlic Wings | I love a big plate of chicken wings and this version is brushed with a sticky honey garlic sauce.

Crispy Baked Bang Bang Shrimp | This is a crispy baked appetizer that is great for snacking. The panko shrimp are served with a spicy bang bang sauce.

Individual Seven-Layer Dips | This is one of my favorite ways to serve dip: in individual-sized containers so everyone gets their own. This dip has layers of beans, sour cream, guacamole, cheese and salsa.

Honey Garlic Meatballs | Sweet and savory meatballs are easy to make and a great snack!

Individual Spinach Dip Bread Rolls | You can also do the same thing with spinach dip. But instead of a plastic container, fill small rolls with the dip and serve them with vegetable sticks.

BLT Guacamole | For this, I took a basic guac recipe and added tomatoes and crispy bacon. It’s a great dip for a football party.

Nacho Pretzel Bites | Homemade soft pretzel bites stuffed with nacho cheese is a great snack for game day parties.

Mexican Corn Salad | This appetizer is like Mexican grilled corn, but made easy as a dip. It’s a combo of corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, with a light mayo-based dressing.

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs | These muffins are easy to make and taste like pizza with cheese and pepperoni.

Pizza Stuffed Mushrooms | These are a fun appetizer that taste like pizza but instead of a crust, mushrooms are topped with pepperoni and cheese.

Salt and Pepper Popcorn Chicken | This classic Taiwanese dish consists of crunchy popcorn chicken, dusted with pepper, salt and chili pepper, creating an addicting snack.

Salt and Pepper Wings | Or, you can make salt and pepper wings. These are crunchy and so delicious.

Sriracha Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings | These are a twist on onion rings but instead of breading and frying the onion rings, I wrap them in bacon, brush them with sriracha, and bake them until the bacon is crispy.

Sriracha Buffalo Chicken Dip | A classic buffalo chicken dip gets a sriracha twist. This is a hot dip with spice that is great with chips or veggie sticks.

Sriracha Buffalo Wings | Here’s a mother way to make chicken wings – brush the fried wings with sriracha for a spicy kick.

Soft Pretzel Bites | Make homemade soft pretzel bites and add some dipping sauces on the side for a delicious snack.

Soft Pretzel Pizza Bites | If you want to dress up plain pretzels stuff them with pizza toppings and serve them with marinara on the side for dipping.

Stuffed Pizza Bites | Use your favorite homemade pizza dough or use store-bought to make pizza stuffed soft rolls. They’re a fun bite-sized snack.

I hope you’ve found some easy game day snacks to try for your event!
