Kids Food for a Super Bowl Party

For a touchdown, make simple, bite-size foods for kids.

A Super Bowl party wouldn't be complete without a spread of snack foods, but it can be difficult to please a child's palate. Try to stick to familiar, bite-size foods to entice a picky, pint-size crowd.

Nachos

Nachos are a popular Super Bowl snack because they are simple to make and are easy to eat. You can make a simplified version for kids that contains fewer ingredients and is less spicy than traditional nachos. Stick to tortilla chips, a mild melted cheese and ground beef to please a picky eater.

Pigs in a Blanket

This is a low-maintenance snack that is an easy finger food for tiny hands. Wrap bite-size hot dogs or cocktail wieners in puff pastry or biscuit dough and bake right before or during the Super Bowl party. Serve these with mild, kid-friendly sauces, such as ketchup or barbecue sauce.

Wings

Chicken wings are a staple food at football viewing parties, but many varieties that appeal to adults are too spicy for kids' mouths. For children, you should opt for a wing with a mild sauce. This is a messy food, so if you are concerned about sticky fingers you can prepare chicken tenders instead; serve them with ketchup or honey as a dipping sauce.
