Are you ready for some football? Sunday, as you probably know, is the Big Game!

If you are looking for some snacks and appetizers, here’s a roundup of some top faves around here! Even if you don’t love football, you can enjoy the delicious game day snacks and recipes anytime.

The best thing about the appetizer and game day snack recipes that we are sharing today is that they are all easy to make and of course, delicious!

Love Pizza AND Love Waffle Fries? This recipe combines the best of these two yummy foods into one! Pepperoni pizza waffle fries only require a few ingredients, and will be a hit with the entire family.

They only take about 45 minutes to make start to finish, and the majority of that time (35 minutes) is oven bake time! Even better, you can adjust the ingredients slightly – if you aren’t a fan of pepperoni, just swap out for your favorite pizza toppings.

These make for an awesome game day appetizer, or an easy weeknight meal on a hectic day. Sprinkle with a bit of parsley for a pop of color, or add a touch of red paper flakes if you want some added heat! If you are wanting to serve as a main meal, just add a salad on the side, or add some veggies into the toppings.

We have this recipe on our list of snacks/appetizers for the Superbowl, and find it so yummy and filling. It usually disappears pretty fast, so sometimes I will actually make a tray during pre-game happenings, and then a second tray closer to half-time!

Celebrating the end of 2021? (Aren’t we all? :)!) Here’s a delicious way to ring in the New Year! There’s only a few ingredients needed to make this Lava Lamp NYE recipe!

Not only is this drink pretty, it’s such a fun way to celebrate the start of a fresh new year. Even better, you can adjust the main ingredient to make it kid friendly. Choose champagne, sparkling wine, sparkling juice or Ginger Ale!

Bright cranberries add a pop of color and give the drink it’s lava lamp look. Plus, this lava lamp NYE recipe adds a whimisical touch to a celebratory night. This drink would also be great to serve at a winter wedding or bridal shower too!

Serve it up in a champagne flute for a touch of elegance and to give it the lava lamp effect. It’s such a festive, fun way to celebrate, and it goes well with any appetizers or main course you serve too.

One of the things I love too is how entertaining this drink is – both kids and adults will be delighted watching the cranberries float around!

Anytime I see Oreos included in a recipe, I usually do a double take. If you are a fan too, you will want to check out this totally decadent recipe for caramel pecan Oreos covered in chocolate!

The combination of the sweet oreos and caramel along with the saltiness of the pretzel makes for such a great flavor pairing. These are a great dessert idea to make with little ones too! 

Adding the pecan half on top makes for a more elegant looking dessert, plus it adds an extra bit of crunch and texture. Perfect for parties and gift giving too, as the recipe takes Oreos to a whole new level of deliciousness.

Looking for a fun and colorful snack idea for the holidays? Muddy Buddies Chex Mix Reindeer Chow is super easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. Plus, if you have little ones around, they will love helping out making this dish.

Even better, it’s a pretty affordable snack, and perfect to snack on while watching sports, Holiday movies, or for family game night. (You’ll want napkins on hand though!) It’s always a hit at parties, and it’s so festive – making for a great gift idea when packaged in clear bags with ribbon!

While the original recipe does call for Chex Rice Cereal, you can swap out for wheat chex or corn chex if you prefer. You can also swap out your chocolate for milk chocolate or even white chocolate if you don’t care for dark chocolate. (you can even use chocolate chips if you prefer!). I’ve actually made this recipe with peanut butter chips and it was fantastic!

I think this year I may also make a batch with butterscotch chips just to shake things up a bit!
