If you want to craft a Super Bowl menu full of good food for two, these easy recipes will bring you all that and then some. Complete with everything from bacon, jam, and triple crème jalapeño poppers to chili-cheese pretzel bites, these touchdown-worthy appetizers will get game day going in the right direction. Dive into the best dips, most mouthwatering finger foods, and all-around, game-winning appetizers now. May the best team app win.
