The big game is almost here, and that can only mean one thing — the countdown to Super Bowl snacking can commence! Oh, yeah, sure, there will be football, too. But if we’re really being honest with ourselves, we look forward to the foodie aspect of Super Bowl Sunday just as much as we enjoy the action on the field…if not more.
Of course, Super Bowl-level snacking means you (a) either step up your game or (b) you resign yourself to an evening filled with greasy chips, bar nuts and, well, whatever other generic junk food you have stashed in your pantry. You can do better than that though, even if you don’t have the energy to make an assortment of unique chicken wing recipes this year, because Trader Joe’s has your back.
Not only can you finger perfectly portable and convenient finger foods, but it won’t set you back your entire paycheck just to feed your friends. Plus, since TJ’s food is artisanal and interesting, you’ll come off looking like the MVP host who put extra time and energy into creating a fun Super Bowl menu for everyone.
You can score (sorry, couldn’t resist) the following quick, delicious and Super Bowl worthy snacks at your local Trader Joe’s just in time for the big game.
