What's your favorite food to snack on while watching the game?

Check out these five finger foods that people go crazy for. They might give you some ideas for Sunday!

Taco Cups

Buy a bag or two of those Tostitos Scoops, the ones shaped like little cups. Add to each cup some refried beans, cheese, salsa, seasoned beef or whatever. Top them with a slice of green chile and some sour cream. Voila! Single-bite layered dip with no pan to clean.

Crudité

Slice up some carrots, cucumbers, and peppers. Then, make a trio of dips using one single base of mayo and sour cream. Basil, garlic, and parmesan give you a pesto dip; dill, lemon zest, and garlic powder create a ranch-type flavor with more kick; and chile powder, cumin, and cayenne create a hot dip.

Pigs in a Blanket

Pigs in a blanket can be awesome if you put in a little effort! Buy some spicy chorizo or summer sausage and pair them with queso fresco. Wrap in pieces of puff pastry, then bake until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted. Sooo yummy...

Kebabs

Get the most out of your skewers by offering multiple types. Greek kebabs could have olives, feta cheese and tomatoes. Chili kebabs are unusual and fun with ground beef, onions, and peppers with a hunk of pepper jack cheese. And a fruit kebab with melon, berries and more is fresh and light!

Bacon

When in doubt, add bacon. A rule we all live by, right? Wrap asparagus in bacon and bake until crisp. Repeat with breadsticks, shrimp, chicken. You can even pair bacon with some fruits, like dates or figs. Or add it to dips and even those yummy taco cups.

Get MORE of the MOST.
