Super Bowl Dips
It’s Super Bowl time once again! Maybe you are an avid football fan and you’ll be cheering on your favorite tip while you dig in to some tasty super bowl snacks.
Or maybe you’re more like me and don’t really care who is playing as long as there’s good food to be enjoyed during the big game.
For me, going to a Super Bowl party is all about the food – and there are plenty of good Super Bowl recipes to be enjoyed – and hanging out with some friends.
Whether you’re watching the game with a crowd or settling in alone with the TV remote, delicious munchiesare practically a Super Bowl requirement.
But, I think we can all agree that it’s not a game day party, Super Bowl or otherwise, without dips, right?
Tips for Super Bowl Dips
- Serve a variety of dips: creamy dip, spicy, cheesy dips, mild, warm dips, cold dips, salsas, and more so everyone is able to find something they like.
- Keep hot dips that are meant to be served warm in a slow cooker set to “warm,” so they stay fresh throughout the football game.
- Cold dips can be kept fresh be nesting the bowl containing the dip in a larger bowl containing ice or frozen ice packs.
- Mix rich dips alongside lighter options to balance the snacking throughout the party.
- Include serving spoons with each dip so guests can scoop dip onto their plates rather than dipping directly into the serving containers.
