Did you know that buffalo chicken dip is the #1 super bowl food made for parties? I’m sure that stat changes because I would have guessed 100% it was buffalo wings.

The Ultimate Super Bowl Charcuterie Board

Creating a show-stopping charcuterie board is the great way to impress your guests as the best part of a party is the food.

What I’m going to do is create a charcuterie table of sorts. My plan is to create my traditional charcuterie faire down the center of the dining room table as charcuterie runner. Then everyone who is bringing foods can place them around the rest of the table. 

Adding some football touches like foods in the shape of a football or use goal post-inspired displays are a nice touch for a super bowl party. Don’t forget to incorporate football season themes and team colors.

I used a green table cloth to represent turf. Then I cut out three football shapes on brown craft paper. I placed those at the center of the table for my runner.

What to Include on a Super Bowl Charcuterie Table

There are many different kinds of Charcuterie boards such as a dessert board, a breakfast board etc. However for Super Bowl we will be making a Super Bowl Snack Board.  Here are some of my favorite things that I would include in on my Charcuterie runner:

A perfect charcuterie board combines both sweet and savory elements. Include fresh fruit, petite gherkins, and spicy meats to keep taste buds excited. Cheese lovers will appreciate a variety of options like cheddar cheese and blue cheese. Don’t forget to add some classic football game snacks like tortilla chips
and soft pretzels
.

Drink Pairings and Party Tips

No Super Bowl spread is complete without drinks. Consider creating a signature cocktail or setting up a drink station with various options. Have plenty of non-alcoholic beverages available too. 

One year I soaked off all the labels of a classic light beer and made stickers with the our teams logo. It’s was a very fun idea that everyone loved and many took home their empty bottle as a game day souvenir.
