Impress your guests with these simple, delicious Big Game snacks
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – As Super Bowl weekend approaches, the food matters most.
To help you prep for the big game, Chief City Mom Janine Bobbenmoyer has some delicious snack ideas to impress your guests.
“One of the trending ideas this year is the four-in-one dip platter,” Bobbenmoyer explained. “It is simple to make and a big hit on social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok.”
Bobbenmoyer suggests using hot sauce from Spice and Foods, the official maker of the Kansas City Chiefs hot sauce, for those who like a little heat. She added the sauce to the guacamole for an extra kick.
She brought a chocolate hummus dip made from chickpeas, with almond butter from Barney Butter mixed in for added protein for those with a sweet tooth. This dip, she says, offers a nice balance to the salty flavors of the other snacks.
With these easy-to-make snacks, Bobbenmoyer says they are perfect for anyone hosting a Super Bowl party, especially when you have other tasks to juggle.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return
He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.
There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.
And damned if he didn’t make a play.
Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.
The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.
But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.
The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.
Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).
His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
