Not to mention the half-time show always works up an appetite. That's where Super Bowl snacks come in. They're the perfect fuel for a game-day viewing party. We've got plenty of MVPs along with some rising stars that will surely become crowd-pleasers. These fan-favorite Super Bowl snack ideas will sustain you through any exhilarating triumph, or—we hate to even say it—an agonizing defeat. 26 Super Bowl Appetizers That Will Win Big on Game Day 01 of 33 Crispy Baked Chicken Flautas Justin Walker To make these homemade flautas, simply add chipotle-flavored ground chicken and Monterey Jack cheese to flour tortillas, roll them up, and bake until crunchy. Pass them around the party with pico de gallo and sour cream for dipping. View Recipe 02 of 33 Queso Fundido Pernille Loof This elevated take on creamy cheese sauce is made by slowly melting mozzarella and goat cheese under the broiler. Sautéed poblano and serrano chiles add a kick of heat. Give folks the option of tortilla chips or crunchy vegetables like radishes and jicama for serving. View Recipe 03 of 33 Korean Fried Chicken Wings Johnny Fogg Unlike American-style fried chicken, Korean fried chicken has a thin, ultra-crisp coating. Each chicken wing is coated in a sticky glaze made with soy sauce, Sriracha, garlic, ginger, and brown sugar. Serve the spicy wings with a cooling bowl of kimchi on the side. View Recipe 04 of 33 Soft Pretzels Soft, tender, and chewy, these homemade pretzels just might upstage the big game. Serve them with an array of dipping sauces, like spicy brown mustard or queso fundido. View Recipe 05 of 33 Grilled Buttermilk Chicken Tenders With Dipping Sauces David Malosh These bacon-wrapped chicken satay skewers are marinated in buttermilk—this keeps the meat nice and moist on the grill. Buttermilk-Scallion Ranch and Spicy Romesco are perfect dipping sauces. View Recipe 06 of 33 Spicy Roasted Chickpeas Chickpeas are a delicious plant-based alternative to all of the heavy game-day appetizers on the menu. Pat the beans dry with paper towels before tossing them with olive oil, cayenne pepper, and cumin seeds—any excess moisture will prevent the beans from becoming super crunchy. View Recipe 07 of 33 Mozzarella-Stuffed Garlic-and-Herb Bread Nico Schinco Consider this snack a clever take on the best part of a stuffed crust pizza—the crust. It's a crowd-pleaser: The easy dough is filled with mozzarella and topped with garlic, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. View Recipe 08 of 33 Pigs In a Blanket Nicole Franzen If there was an MVP of Super Bowl snacks it would be Pigs in a Blanket. They are a dish everyone loves and expects on game day. Our version uses your favorite fully cooked sausages such as frankfurters, andouille, chicken sausages, and frozen puff pastry. View Recipe 09 of 33 Cheesy Soppressata Pull-Apart Bread Lennart Weibull Another candidate for a snack that's sure to go fast, this easy cheesy bread is made using store-bought or homemade pizza dough. Mozzarella and soppressata bring the creamy, meaty touches and hot honey is the final flourish.

The sauce is made from whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard, orange marmalade, and cayenne pepper. View Recipe 12 of 33 Slow-Cooker Queso Con Poulos Ensure that your queso stays ooey-gooey all night long by making it in a slow cooker.

Cut into small slices for a delicious game-day snack.
