It’s that time of year again! Where weekends are filled up with football games, you’re looking forward to some cooler weather and enjoying some extra time with family and friends in your home.

This also means you might be hosting (or attending) some football parties this season. And the second most important part of a football party is, of course, the food! Having some easy and tasty snacks can help keep your guests satisfied and fueled up for the big game!

We’ve put together a list of seven simple yet delicious snack recipes for you to choose from this football season. So, let’s dive in!

Seven easy snack recipes to complete your game day party

Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip

When it’s football season, you have to have some sort of dip, right? (Right!) And what better dip to have than one with cheese AND bacon??

This chicken bacon ranch dip is a great snack to keep your guests going during a long game day. You can dip your favorite chips in or even eat it by the spoonful. Plus, the chicken makes sure to add some extra protein so your guests can have enough energy to continue cheering on their favorite team. Check out the full recipe!

Guacamole Dip

If you still want to have a dip at your party but want something a little lighter, you might want to try guacamole. This can be the perfect fresh dip that your guests will keep coming back for. And it’ll help them save some room for other food throughout the day!

Chicken Wings

Wings have always seemed to be a staple at football parties. Although they can be a little messy sometimes, they’re a great handheld snack. You also really can’t go wrong with the kind of chicken wings you choose. We just figured a honey barbecue recipe would be a good place to start. (Then maybe try buffalo wings next!)

Ham and Cheese Sliders

Speaking of handhelds, you also can’t go wrong with sliders on game day. This can definitely be an easy win that even picky eaters will likely enjoy. (Especially if you have kiddos over!) Plus, you can make these sandwiches as simple or complex as you’d like with seasonings, sauces and toppings.

Here’s a tasty recipe to get you started!

Potato Skins

How about a baked potato bar with a twist?

One thing guests seem to love about these is the customizability! Everyone starts with the same base, but you get to decide what toppings you might want. With potato skins, you can still offer some customizability but in a more “snack-size” way.

Whether your guests like a ton of sour cream or just stick to cheese and butter, it’s sure to be a hit. Here’s a recipe to get you started but don’t be afraid to add your own personal flare with the toppings!

Pull-apart pigs in a blanket

Let’s face it: pigs in a blanket can be a staple snack at any gathering. They’re great for a variety of dipping sauces, are the perfect size for snacking and are usually loved by children and adults. Plus, they can be really easy to make! (Sounds like a win-win to us.)

To add a little more fun to your pigs in a blanket presentation, check out this pull-apart version, and don’t forget to add your favorite dipping sauce in the middle.

Oreo Brownies

And what’s a football party without dessert?

It’s always nice to have a wide variety of food, especially since some of your guests might not all like the same things. Some, especially the kiddos attending, will really appreciate some dessert options.

If you’re a brownie fan, an Oreo fan or just like chocolate in general, this Oreo brownie recipe might be your perfect match! (BTW, you might want to save a few before you put these out because they’ll probably be eaten real quick!)

Are you game day ready?
