9 Game Day Snack Ideas to Entertain

Game Day snacks are as much a part of football season as the actual game. After all, what would football be without wings, dips, and delicious finger food appetizers?

Whether you are tailgating with friends outside the stadium or in your backyard, quick, easy appetizers are a must-have.

These winning game day snack recipes are some of my favorites for game days and are sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

Easy Game Day Snacks Everyone Will Love

1. Jalapeno Pigs in a Blanket

This recipe is a twist on a classic and will take your appetizer game to a new level!  You can easily adjust the recipe to take out the jalapeno if you prefer, the pigs in a blanket are still absolutely delicious!

2. Honey Bourbon Baked Wings

These sticky, boozy wings are downright delicious to eat!  Honey Bourbon wings are also baked, which make them a healthier alternative to fried wings.

3. Cajun Chicken Wings

Seasoned with a homemade Cajun Spice Rub and cooked in less than one hour makes these chicken wings a top choice!  These, like the Honey Bourbon wings are baked, taking away some of that chicken wing indulgence guilt. 

4. Spicy Roasted Chickpeas

These are SO EASY to make and are a great alternative to potato chips if you’re wanting to make game day festivities a little healthier without sacrificing flavor.  Plus, they still go great with a cold beer!

5. BBQ pulled Pork Pizza

This dish can be done in under 30 minutes and is a fantastic way to use leftover pulled pork! BBQ Pulled Pork Pizza is a great finger food that guests can enjoy, and can be made in less than 30 minutes!

6. Southwest Chicken Meatballs

Southwest Chicken Meatballs are great because they are healthy, gluten-free, and will create conversation during commercials.  Meatballs are one of my favorite finger foods and something that make a fantastic appetizer as well! 

7. Cheesy Bacon Dip

One of my favorite appetizers because of just how easy and diverse it is- plus, it’s the ultimate crowd pleaser! This dip is served in a bread bowl and can be served with tortilla chips, French bread, crackers, or your favorite vegetables!  Chances are you’ll have at least one guest who will eat it with a spoon.

8. Fiesta Ranch Crackers

This zesty appetizer is quick and makes a great snack!  While plain oyster crackers can be bland, these Fiesta Ranch Crackers will make your game day guests happy.  They are not only easy to make but inexpensive and take only minutes to throw together! 

9. Easy Mexican Salsa

This salsa takes only 5 minutes to make and taste absolutely delicious!  It’s healthy and fresh, not to mention easy to make ahead of time to pull out for your game day festivities.
