5. Fried Pickle Dip
Fried pickles are always a hit, but they’re time consuming to make, and you risk them going soggy by halftime. Dill pickle flavored chip dip, made with chipped up pickles and fresh dill, is the perfect alternative.
6. Taco Cups
These taco cups give you all the flavors of nachos and tacos, but are much easier to prep and not as messy to eat. Customize them to your liking with all your favorite taco fillings.
7. Mini Lobster Rolls
Editor’s Note: Before making these, confirm that none of your guests have a shellfish allergy.
King’s Hawaiian rolls are a staple on Super Bowl Sunday, but if you want to take your mini sandwiches to the next level, making these lobster rolls is the perfect way to do so. To cut costs if serving a crowd, use half lobster, half shrimp.
