15 Easy Super Bowl Appetizers

FREDRIKA STJÄRNE

A great Super Bowl party has certain key ingredients, besides a television to watch the game on and some sort of reasonable seating arrangement: good drinks and good appetizers. A Super Bowl platter is a way to make the small dishes that usually preface a meal into the central focus point, sort of like a makeshift tapas meal. But if you’re putting together a whole lot of appetizers, you probably don’t want to spend a lot of time on any individual dish, and you certainly don’t want multiple dishes that require you to use every appliance you have in your home. Here, our round-up of the best easy Super Bowl appetizers to feed a crowd—or just yourself.
