No Super Bowl party is complete without delicious food and beer. Mass Media has you covered! Some members of our staff got together and compiled our favorite foods and recipes for your Super Bowl party!
Snacks
1. Tortilla Chips and Guacamole are a must have (feel free to use store-bought guac, or your favorite recipe… because there’s no such thing as bad guac!) Here is a link to our favorite guacamole recipe:

2. Spicy Chili Doritos will always keep your guests content while they wait for the next round of food!
3. If your guests aren’t into guac or Doritos, potato chips can satisfy anyone’s cravings. We recommend Cape Cod-brand waffle cut chips. Try putting out your favorite dip for those that are more adventurous.
Appetizers
1. You simply can’t have football without wings, and Mass Media prefers buffalo wings. Try marinating your own wings in Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce! It provides just enough spice for flavor, but won’t scare away those that don’t like spicy.
2. My personal favorite Super Bowl app is cheeseburger sliders. Nothing beats a tiny burger covered in cheese. We prefer to fry each individual burger, and then place cheese on top. For added flavor, top them off with grilled onions and crumbled bacon!
3. Vegetarians definitely should not feel excluded from the fun. Try making homemade baked potato skins. Just use imitation bacon bits, put out some sour cream and go to town. Try making this vegan by using dairy-free cheese.
Entrees
1. If all that food hasn’t satisfied you, you could always put out some kind of main course. The top choice here has to be ribs. Ribs are essential when tailgating, so why not bring the tailgating home? Nothing’s wrong with a great oven-baked BBQ rib, but if you’re feeling bold try some oven-baked bacon bourbon ribs. Our favorite recipes are in the links below!

2. For any vegetarians, try a vegetarian chili! Chili is always a satisfying option for watching football, and you can always pile it on top of nachos. Use dairy free cheese, or just leave out the cheese for a great vegan dish as well. Our favorite vegetarian chili is in the link below.

3. The safest bet in the world is always pizza. I have never met a person that doesn’t like pizza, so try ordering from your favorite spot or making one at home for an instant crowd pleaser. Best store-bought is DiGiorno’s Supreme Pizza, loaded with sausage, peppers, and onions.
Desserts:
1. You have to end with a sweet treat after all that savory food. Something delicious to try is Pretzel S’Mores Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars. A perfect combination of marshmallow, cookies, and pretzels (AKA the perfect bar snack). Try the recipe below, and it’s guaranteed to be a hit!

2. Since nachos are always essential at a super bowl party, why not try some dessert nachos? Try the great recipe for Pie Crust Dessert Nachos in the link below.

3. For a good vegan treat, chocolate covered frozen bananas are a good choice. They are extremely easy to make, and delicious for those who aren’t vegan as well. Try them using the directions in the link below.
