Score Big With the Perfect Recipes for Your Super Football Party
Published: January 28, 2026
In case you haven't heard, there's a certain football game happening soon. It's a big one. You might even say it's —ahem — super. And it's extra super when the home team is represented, so you know we'll be tuning in to watch every minute of the Patriots, the commercials and the halftime show.
Whether you're hosting a big party, a few friends, or just curling up on the couch in your jammies, you're going to need snacks. So, we "dipped" into our Small Bites archives for some recipes so tasty that you'll be tempted to double dip. (But please don't. That's just gross.) We even threw in a sweet dessert that we're sure Ann Michael Maye will approve of.
Who doesn't love pizza? This gooey dip has all your favorite flavors. Add some garlic knots fresh from the oven and you're sure to score big with your guests.
Warm up your appetizer table with the Hot Lump Crab Dip from Legal Sea Foods. It's deceptively easy, so your family and friends will be "bowled" over by your impressive cooking skills!
Finger foods are definitely the way to go, and these Sweet Italian Sausage Empanadas certainly fit the bill! Whip up the Roasted Poblano Aioli and either drizzle on top or serve on the side as a dip.
With Valentine's Day right around the corner, Sin's Red Velvet Whoopie Pies are the perfect dessert for the big game. You can even make them heart-shaped and save the leftovers for next weekend!
