Most of this sounds delicious but right now I want those Caramel Thunder Brownies!
This post makes me want to host a delicious Superbowl party and I don’t even watch football LOL.

LOVE the snackadium!
This is a great collection for the Super Bowl. Maybe one year when our team actually makes it we’ll host a party and use one! 🙂
The Snackadium is my favorite on this list! Love it.
The best thing about superbowl is all the great food! Thanks for some really cool ideas for this year. Plan on trying the sausage jalepenos. 🙂
That man sized sandwich looks perfect for the guys watching the Superbowl. I’m not sure what my favorite would be – way too many to choose from.
Hi Amber! Thanks for posting some of my recipes on your recipe lineup! Game day is best when served with food.
Those all look delicious! I have a similar buffalo chicken dip recipe. I adapted it to make buffalo chicken cheesesteaks: http://makingourlifematter.com/crockpot-buffalo-chicken-cheesesteaks/
Since my team isn’t in the Superbowl this year, my focus is going to be on eating instead of watching!
Have a great weekend!
This is a great list for any party during tailgate season! I love all your dip ideas and that “Mans Meat Sandwich” lol – The guys would love it!
My man would freak over those sausage stuffed jalapenos!
Thanks for sharing my jalapeno popper recipe!
All those look good but you had me with the brownies. Man, those look delicious. I am going to make a batch of these as soon as I can.
Ok, that Snackstadium is just plain awesome. What a cool idea and it would definitely get those oohs and ahhs at my house 🙂
I have to admit, I can’t stand sports BUT I do have to add that with all that yummy food I would definitely attend YOUR super bowl party!
If you promise that I will not have to watch the game–I would love to help you eat up all of these delicious looking snack type items! These foods would be great for a large family get together as well!
we never watch the game either. But we always have our own Superbowl party, just for the food. Who needs to watch actual football? lol.
All of these ideas look great! Some awesome ones to get the party going for sure!
Oh my goodness, you have some amazing ideas here! I LOVE that Snack-Stadium!!!
That buffalo chicken dip looks AMAZING. Holy crap…and that appetizer plate? TOO STINKING CUTE.
I’d start watching football every Sunday if it meant I get to eat some of that food you posted!!!! YUM!!!
What a great collection of Super Bowl recipes. I love them all.
These are some great tips for hosting a Super Bowl party. My husband and his friends would love to snack on these during the game.
Football is so not my thing. I won’t be watching
I don’t know what I want to try first, but I saw at least four or five that might need eating within this month yet! (For instance, those caramel brownies at the end.)
Those are some great food ideas. Hubby would love to make some of these. He will be watching and I’ll be somewhere else since I’m not a football fan. 🙂
Ohh that all looks so good! We don’t do the super bowl here but I could definitely tuck into some of your food – I’m sure I could think of another good reason 😉 x
I’m not a fan of football either. I’m just in love with all the food. lol.
I love Football food! Can’t wait for this game, thanks for sharing the recipes
The sausage stuffed jalapeños sound amazing! I think I need to try them out. The rest is a bit too rich on calories for me, though.
Great ideas! I usually mix it up every year and change things out. We love to have dips and chips for sure and always plenty of desserts. I haven’t thought about my menu yet this year.
I love chili and I think that would be a hit here at home. Not so much fan of football but my husband is.
glad i came upon this – now to decide what to do for superbowl from India 🙂
All this food made my belly hungry! I really think it is cool how you did the football field dip style! I would love to try some of these thank you for sharing!
oh my gosh, I want to eat just about everything you posted!!!! The buffalo chicken dip sounds awesome and the stadium is so freaking cool! Snicker’s salad?? Yumm!! I coming to your house for the game!
These are definitely some great Super Bowl party ideas! Our favorite is the classic chicken dip!
Sausage stuffed Jalapenos, Oh my gosh! Those looks so freaking good.
That stadium looks so cool! Maybe I’ll have a superbowl party IF the 49ers make it there 😛
All the recipes look so good! I am totally hungry right now 🙂
