Top 5 Super Bowl Dips

There are certain holidays during the year that are filled with heavy eating. The Super Bowl is not one of them. Regardless, each February it is treated no differently than if it was.

This year's Super Bowl pits the New England Patriots against the New York Giants just four years after their last ring match up. Whether you're watching for the famous NY/NE rivalry, the million dollar commercial spots or just the tradition, the noshes served during each quarter serve as an important game day highlight.

Super Bowl snacks range from smokey barbecue ribs to hearty overstuffed sandwiches, with everything from spicy wings to beer brats in between. With so much to choose from, it can be hard to single out specific dishes to make, so stick to something simple and delicious, dip!

This Super Bowl Sunday, add a fantastic dip to your munchie repertoire and you'll see even your staunchest rival become a supporter.
