Watching the Super Bowl is only part of what makes the day great in America. Super Bowl snacks and the commercials are two additional reasons to participate in the day America watches the NFL like no other.

I personally love to eat small meals, so you could say snacking is my favorite mode of eating. It’s definitely an area of expertise (but I like to call my dishes “tapas” to make myself feel grown up).

So, from a snacking professional, here are a few of my favorite ideas to take your Super Bowl snacks to the next level when it comes to healthy and delicious finger foods.

P.S. The WLC Approved Game Day Recipes eBook contains even more amazing (yet healthy) snacks and treats.
