Salty, savory, and sweet snacks.

Let’s be honest: Super Bowl parties are 50% about watching the game and 50% about eating the snacks (and that’s being generous when it comes to the football). Whether you’re hosting the gathering or attending one as a guest, give everyone something to cheer about with crowd-pleasing snacks that are perfect for game day.
1) Pretzel Focaccia
Rather than a bowl of boring pretzels to serve alongside your favorite dips, make a batch of this fluffy, salty Pretzel Focaccia. Cut it into long strips, bread stick-style, to make dipping easy. I love to dunk it in stone-ground honey mustard sauce; hot sauce would also be delicious for those who like things spicy.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Unbleached Bread Flour
2) Super-Sausage Pizza
Pizza is a must-have at Super Bowl gatherings. This Super-Sausage Pizza has a flavorful, hearty crust that can hold a generous layer of toppings. Semolina flour gives the crust a slight crunch and golden hue, while Pizza Dough Flavor ensures there’s umami-laced, garlicky flavor in every bite.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Semolina Flour
3) Bagel Chips with Salmon Cream Cheese Dip
Made from day-old bagels, these crisp and crunchy bagel chips are just as delicious (and less expensive) than the bags at the store. Enjoy them as is, or pair them with a smoked salmon cream cheese dip that brings all the flavors of a great bagel sandwich.

4) Brownie Bites
While savory bakes are crowd-favorites at Super Bowl parties, we’ve pulled some of our favorite sweet recipes off the bench and encourage you to throw them into your lineup too. Start with something that’s universally loved: thick, fudgy brownies. Make them more snackable by downsizing them into these Brownie Bites. And if you have any leftovers at the end of the night, they can be a pick-me-up for any disappointed fans. Losing is always easier to stomach if it’s accompanied by chocolate.

To make this recipe, you'll need: 9" x 13" pan
5) Grand Prize Coconut Caramel Bars
If the losers take home extra Brownie Bites, fans of the winning team should celebrate with these Grand Prize Coconut Caramel Bars. They were the blue prize winner at a local baking contest, and we’ve thought of them as grand prize bars ever since. It’s not hard to imagine them outshining the competition with their toasted coconut, rich chocolate, and gooey caramel layers.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Caramel Baking Block
6) Grilled Calzones
Sports and grilling go together like Netflix and chilling. And the Super Bowl is no exception. Mix up dough made with '00' Pizza Flour, fire up the grill, and prepare a selection of your favorite toppings. (Reserve some of the cheese leftover from building your charcuterie board for your calzones!)
The grilled calzones have a pleasantly smoky flavor. Plus, gathering outside around the grill before kickoff is a prime opportunity to give your opponents a hard time about any losses or blunders their team racked up during the season.

To make this recipe, you'll need: '00' Pizza Flour
7) Crunchy Parmesan Crackers
Up your cheese board game with homemade crackers. Everyone will be impressed when you mention the crackers are made from scratch. When you make your own, you can make them extra cheesy with the addition of both Parmesan cheese and Better Cheddar Powder.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Golden Wheat Flour
8) Marbled Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re attending a Super Bowl gathering where there’ll be a distinct divide between fans, show them how opposing sides can come together in peace with these Marbled Chocolate Chip Cookies. Regular chocolate chip cookie dough is swirled together with cocoa-enriched dough to create a unique cookie that’s better than either one on its own.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Teaspoon Scoop
9) Savory Cheese Biscotti
Want some extra crunch with all that cheese? Then biscotti is the snack you need. While biscotti are often thought of as subtly sweet cookies ideal for dunking in coffee, they can also take a turn to the savory side. They’re fantastic additions to snack spreads because of their satisfying crunch and their easy dip-ability.

To make this recipe, you'll need: King Arthur Sheet Pans
10) Sesame Scallion Hot Dog Buns
This gorgeous snackable bake takes pigs-in-a-blanket to the next level. To make this Chinese bakery staple, slices of hot dog are wrapped in a tender scallion milk bread dough, then arranged in a flower pattern. A shower of sesame seeds adds crunch. These will hands-down be the fanciest (and potentially the most delicious) hot dogs you’ll ever see at a Super Bowl party.
Get the recipe: Sesame Scallion Hot Dog Buns
To make this recipe, you'll need: Unbleached Bread Flour
11) Everything Bagel Twists
In this fun “twist” on classic bagels, ropes of bagel dough are wound together and pinched. Not only do the bagel twists look eye-catching on a Super Bowl party spread, but because they’re slightly less crusty than classic bagels, they’re perfect for ripping and dipping rather than slicing and smearing.
Get the recipe: Everything Bagel Twists
To make this recipe, you'll need: Classic Chewy Bagel Mix Kit
12) Cheese and Onion Swirl Buns
This bake is guaranteed to turn heads when people realize these cinnamon bun look-alikes are actually filled with cheese and onions. The enriched dough is rich and buttery, while the filling boasts oozy, melty cheese. They’re best served warm: Pop them into a low oven (300°F) about 10 minutes before the halftime show and pull them out once warmed through. You’ll have satisfying finger food to enjoy during the always-entertaining performance.
Get the recipe: Cheese and Onion Swirl Buns
To make this recipe, you'll need: Pizza Seasoning
13) Garlic and Herb Sun Bread (Tarte Soleil)
A tearable, shareable bread that makes a stunning centerpiece for any game day spread, this Tarte Soleil is filled with a savory mixture of cream cheese, Parmesan, quick-roasted garlic and herbs de Provence. It doesn’t need a dipping sauce, but garlic oil, pesto, or even warm marinara wouldn’t hurt.

To make this recipe, you'll need: Durum Flour
14) Soft Garlic Knots
Want even more pizzeria-style snacks? We’ve got just what you need: super-soft, butter-drenched garlic knots. The secret ingredients are potato flour and pastry flour blend, which together make the softest rolls possible. (All-purpose flour can be substituted for the pastry flour blend if you’re looking for slightly chewier rolls. Unlike the final score of the game, the outcome is up to you!)

15) Gluten-Free Soft Pretzels
If there are any sports fans with special diet needs in your group, make their night by preparing a snack that’s suitable for them, too. Soft pretzels are a classic Super Bowl snack, and with our Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, you can make a gluten-free version that’s just as easy to whip up as its wheat-based counterpart. Slightly chewy and studded in pretzel salt, these will please anyone, regardless of their diet.

16) Mini Pizza Bagels
While most pizza bagels consist of store-bought bagels split and topped with sauce and cheese, in these two-bite homemade pizza bagels, the bagel dough is pizza-fied before going into the oven. Serve a platter of these pizza bagels at your Super Bowl party and watch the crowd go wild.
