Whether or not you have a dog in the fight, I think we can all agree that the Superbowl is going to be rocking this year. Without dating myself, I am pretty pumped about the halftime show—maybe even more so than the actual game. But let’s be real, it’s the party snacks that are sure to steal the show.

More often than not, most Superbowl parties are going to have the traditional chili, wings, and veggie trays, amiright? But I can’t help but feel the chips and dips are where it’s at.

I wanted to throw out some new and interesting flavors for this year’s event, and I also wanted to come up with things that were quick and easy, so I wasn’t spending all morning in the kitchen. If I have to say so myself, I think I nailed it!

While any of these can be served with traditional chips, you can also improve the health aspect while cutting calories with these chip alternatives:
