Mozzarella Sticks

If there's one event that always features delicious finger food, it's the Super Bowl, and serving the right selection of game-day finger food is an easy way to guarantee victory as a spectator. From pigs in a blanket and chicken wings to sliders and skewers, everyone will be rooting for second and third helpings of these finger food recipes for the Super Bowl. A COVID-friendly tip: Place all communal foods—like chips and dip—in single-serve ramekins so no one can double dip. Also, be sure everyone washes their hands before enjoying these delectable finger food ideas.

Super Bowl finger food should be casual, able to sit out at room temperature for a long time, and suitable for a socially distanced group of close family and friends. Our Pull-Apart Pigs in a Blanket are the perfect example of that; they're arranged in a springform pan and baked until golden brown and puffed. Guests can grab as many as they like from the showstopping arrangement—or you can pull them apart and separate them on small plates—don't forget to serve them with a good-quality mustard sauce on the side!

Another Super Bowl finger food staple is Mozzarella Sticks, and our version, pictured here, wins every single time. Sure, you can buy them frozen from a box in the grocery store but what's even more impressive is making them from scratch. All you need to do is bread sliced fresh mozzarella in the usual flour, egg, and breadcrumbs coating, then deep-fry in neutral oil until they're crispy on the outside and perfectly melted on the inside. Complete the dish with marinara sauce (in those aforementioned individual ramekins) for dipping and score cheers all around.

We also have a few sweet Super Bowl finger food recipes. Try our Chewy Brownies or Caramel-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies. Can't decide between the two? How about a decadent dessert? Chocolate-Chip Streusel Brownies layers chocolate chip cookie dough over brownie batter for an indulgent bite. No matter how you're celebrating this year, enjoy the big game with a delicious menu of all-star finger food recipes.

It's not a Super Bowl party without pigs in a blanket. This version is totally genius; instead of baking them individually on a baking sheet, they're tucked into a springform pan in a neat arrangement and baked until puffed.
