Couch Snacks

A list of foods that are acceptable to eat on the couch while you wait for the Super Bowl halftime show.

Feb 05, 2025

You don’t have to like the teams that are playing in the big game this Sunday, but you can still eat your heart out while sitting on the couch all day. I genuinely love Super Bowl Sunday because football food happens to be one of my favorite food genres. I don’t get too crazy with my recipes; I’m a buffalo chicken dip, Hawaiian roll slider, slow cooker chili type of gal. It’s a day about the classics! I’ve included some recipes below that I look forward to making year after year. I hope you’re planning on enjoying some cheesy, saucy snacks from a cozy couch!

Dips

Buffalo Chicken Dip: You can’t watch the big game without Buffalo Chicken Dip. My version is lightened up from the classic versions, but you honestly would never guess it!

3 Ingredient French Onion Dip: This dip currently runs my life. It’s so simple and actually to die for! If you don’t already have it, grab your Harmony Ranch Blend here! Use code LOVEHARMONY for 20% off!

Cowgirl Dip: I don’t know if I can stress enough how easy and delicious this southwest inspired dip is. Only 5 minutes to prep and 20 minutes in the oven…there’s no excuse not to make it!

Apps

BBQ Chicken Nachos: I grew up eating this nachos and they still never get old. I am drooling just thinking about them…

Buffalo Chicken Taquitos: That delicious buffalo chicken flavor in the perfect little crispy rolls ready to be dunked into ranch or your dip of choice.

Turkey Pesto Sliders: It’s honestly hard to watch football without serving something up on a Hawaiian roll. I don’t make the rules, but this one seems obvious.

Mains

Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole: Just 10 minutes of prep and you have enchiladas for a crowd! It’s always a hit.

Bean & Cheese Enchiladas: This one isn’t finger food friendly, but it is definitely taste buds friendly. These enchiladas are perfect for a smaller crowd or if you’re just serving up dinner for two! I will gladly eat leftovers for lunch on Monday.

Slow Cooker Shredded Steak Tacos: Easiest way to get flavorful steak tacos on your table and the topping options are endless. You could also throw this meat on top of nachos!

Hosting Supplies

Chilled Condiment Server- I’m a lazy, do-it-yourself type of host, so I love this thing to keep condiments and toppings chilled so your guests can serve themselves whenever they please.
Palm Leaf Plates: These compostable plates are actually great quality and the plates are so cute. They’re a step up from paper plates, but you still won’t need to do any dishes.
Mini Serving Bowls: As someone who owns a million different bowls, plates, and serving platters, I never have little bowls for people to serve themselves dips and sauces. These are the perfect individual size!
Taco Holder Plates: If you’re making tacos (which you should be) these plates are perfect for preventing spillage. Go ahead and load up on as many toppings as your heart desires!
Large Serving Trays: These trays always come in handy when I’m having people over. They’re great for serving everything from charcuterie to dessert.
Beverage Tub: Having an assortment of drinks on display is a sure way to get people to serve themselves and not have to bother you for every request. It’s a win win!
Plastic Reusable Wine Cups: Glass can be dangerous during a touchdown celebration! I love these reusable plastic wine glasses for cocktails and spritzes.
Glass Pitcher: A big batch of margaritas is a non-negotiable at any party.
