Other than watching football (of course!), the Superbowl is about getting together with family and friends- eating delish food, drinking refreshing drinks and watching the commercials, too! Putting together a menu is super simple- finger foods and munchies are the way to go... with an assortment of options being key!! Here are a few classic options:
Pigs in blankets
Tortilla chips and dips (fresh salsa, salsa con queso, spinach artichoke dip)
Deli platter and rolls
Pretzels
Pizza (homemade personal pan pizzas- you can make your own with various toppings to choose from- or just order from your favorite pizza shop!)
Hot wings (with ranch, blue cheese and celery)
Antipasta display- Assorted crackers, cheeses, pepperoni, olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, etc
Fruit bowl
Veggie tray with dip
Here's a REALLY fun idea that we found (if you have the time!!!)... a Food Stadium!!
Cupakes (fun idea- decorate cupcakes with either the Giants or Patriots and put them on opposing sides of the dessert table… then have a “field” in between them (either a sheet cake with green frostin and decorated- or if you want more formal- a centerpiece of grass!!!)
