Some Super Bowls can be absolute nail-biters, like in 1991 when the New York Giants narrowly beat the Buffalo Bills 20-19. Others can lead to a biblical level of weeping and gnashing of teeth, like the 2001 trouncing of the Giants by the Baltimore Ravens, who beat them 34-7. As a Super Bowl party planner, you can't control what happens on the gridiron, but you can make sure your attendees have plenty of tasty snacks on hand to keep them chewing before the aforementioned gnashing or nail biting. (Although if you follow our tips, your nails might come out far too pretty to chew.)

With these snacks in your spread, your guests will be leaving happy no matter whether it's a close bout, a blowout, or even a blackout!

There's a reason popcorn has been a standard snack at every movie theatre and sporting event. In moments of high tension, nothing is better than a handful of light, crunchy popcorn. Give your guests a sweet and salty snacking option to wolf down as they wait for that ref to make the right call. Better yet, serve it in some football-themed popcorn boxes to really fit the occasion.
While pickles are a sandwich's best friend, they're also so tangy and delicious on their own. An all-time favorite, though, is frying these up in the oven or air fryer for crunchy goodness that can even possibly beat out chips. But if you're still on the fence, these dill pickle chips will appease your craving.
Sure, there might be a ton of options when it comes to football snacks, but how many of those snacks are also footballs? These mini-football chocolates make for perfect themed eating at any Super Bowl party, and can offer that little sugar rush boost you'll need if the game winds up in overtime.
