Sure, you can get lots of healthy food to stock your fridge at Trader Joe’s, but the area where the grocery chain really excels is party snacks. There’s everything from delicious dips to unique frozen pizzas, and taken together they make for an unbeatable — and easy — Super Bowl watch party feast. When you’re planning what to eat and drink during the big game, check out these much-loved Trader Joe’s Super Bowl snacks.
Unexpected Cheddar Cheese Spread
$4.99
Cheese is a must at any party, and we love TJ’s uber popular Unexpected Cheddar in spreadable form. It feels a little less formal than a block of cheese, perfect for a Super Bowl table.
Parmesan Pastry Pups
$4.99
If you haven’t had these yet, you’re missing out. They’re TJ’s version of pigs-in-a-blanket, but they are SO buttery and crispy that they’ll be gone minutes after you put them out.
Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Dip
$3.79
This frozen dip is a fan favorite. It bakes up gooey and cheesy, just like what you’d get in a restaurant. Serve it with tortilla chips, chunks of bread, or whatever crackers you like.
Ghost Pepper Potato Chips
$3.49
You’ve got to have something to heat up your party, and these chips fit the bill. They’re cut waffle style, with a big crunch and a heat that’s slow and lingering. They’re great for dipping or snacking.
Jalapeno and Cream Cheese Crispy Wontons
$4.99
If there’s any acceptable time to eat tons of little foods-stuffed-with-other-foods, it’s the Super Bowl. These are like pockets of jalapeno popper dip in a crunchy shell, and you just pop them in the oven or air fryer.

Everything and the Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip
$3.79
Elote has been having a moment for quite a while now, and we’re here for it. This creamy, chunky dip is full of corn kernels, parmesan, and smoky chipotle. We like it with tortilla chips, but any dipper within arm’s reach is acceptable.
Avocado’s Number Guacamole
$3.99
This guac is a little plain, but that just means that it’ll be a crowd pleaser. It was the best TJ’s entry in our store bought guac ranking, and we love the shallow plastic trays it comes in for dippin’.
Onion Flowers
$5.49
This is a brand new product at Trader Joe’s, and it’s perfect for a Super Bowl party where excess is the theme. They’re like those famous chain restaurant bloomin’ onions, and are great for tearing into and dipping.

Buffalo Style Chicken Poppers
$5.49
Football means Buffalo-flavored anything and everything. These apps are filled with all kinds of cheese, chicken, and Buffalo sauce. Serve them with ranch or blue cheese for dipping.
Organic Elote Corn Chip Dippers
$2.99
These Frito-like chips are in our cart every time we go to TJ’s. The elote seasoning is creamy, corn-filled, and packs a little bit of heat. They’re thick and sturdy, but with a flaky texture that’s super satisfying.
Uncured Pepperoni Pizza
$5.99
No one will pass up a slice of pepperoni pizza. TJ’s version is a good one that feels a step above Tombstone, but for not that much money. Grab a couple of these and save money skipping delivery.
Buffalo Chicken Dip
$4.99
Can you even call it a Super Bowl party without Buffalo chicken dip?! Grab a container of TJ’s premade version for an easy dip. It’s good cold with carrots and celery, or you can heat it with cheese for a gooey version.
Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies
$5.99
You have to have something sweet to snack on, and these big tubs of mini chocolate chippers do the trick. Everyone loves them, and you can eat them by the handful while you’re watching the halftime show.
White Queso Dip
$3.99
Queso is a classic, and depending on the beverage situation, you might have some people dipping all kinds of odd things into it by the end of the game. This one’s got sharp white cheddar, bell peppers, and a little bit of diced jalapeno for heat.
Breaded Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
$5.49
For that total restaurant-at-home experience, whip some mozzarella sticks out of your air fryer. They’re coated with crispy garlic butter-flavored panko. Grab a jar of TJ’s cheap marinara sauce for dipping.
Mild Pico de Gallo Salsa
$2.99
You can’t possibly have a Super Bowl party without salsa. TJ’s has a ton of options to pick from, but this fresh, chunky pico de gallo version won our taste test for its bright, tangy flavor.
