Football Appetizers are a great way to feed guests and yourselves during the big game. With the Super Bowl coming up, it’s a great time to think about snacks and start planning that important menu.
We've got you covered with these mouthwatering list of Top 15 Appetizers as well as fun and easy Desserts too.
Super Bowl appetizers are almost mandatory in some homes. With all of the excitement of the game, the lengthy commercials, and half time show, you will get hungry. Finding easy Super Bowl appetizers keeps you out of the kitchen so you can stay in front of the tv.
Staying in front of the tv is great because you don’t want to miss a moment. But staying on the couch can be bad for your health so make sure to get up and move during the game or commercials. You can stand in place and do a small workout every once in a while to keep your blood flow going!
Keeping your body moving is also a great way to help burn off those added calories because we all know that game day snacks aren’t necessarily the healthiest. Football food is usually seen as greasy, cheesy, salty, or covered in sauce. But they’re delicious and easy to eat with your fingers, so taking a day to pig out once in a while is a nice break from routine.
We've made this fantastic FREE Printable to help you burn those calories while your are cheering on your favorite team!

Football Desserts
Easy Buckeyes
Buckeyes are a great finger food dessert that not only brings you a delicious taste of chocolate but peanut butter as well. The combination of salty, crunchy, soft and sweet all come together in every bite-sized serving.
Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

Scotcharoos
Who doesn't love Scotcharoos? Creamy peanut butter only adds to this rice crispy treat. Cut in small two bite squares and enjoy a few.
Lemon Bars
While lemon bars may be a tad messy to consider a finger food, this sweet and sour dessert can bring a great addition to your football party. Having a menu full of well-rounded food flavors so that tastebuds don’t get burnt out on too much of the same is key to a great party.
Consider cutting your lemon bars into bite-sized serving pieces (like you would cut fudge) about 1 inch square cubes and serve them on mini muffin liners on a plate. This keeps them bite-sized and easy to serve.
With all of these delicious and easy football appetizers and dessert options, you can have a great game day party with your guests. Go Team!
