20 + Epic Dips for Game Day to get the party started! If you’re celebrating with friends watching the big game, there’s bound to be something here for you! There’s vegan dips, vegetarian dips, super cheesy dips, seafood dips and more!
Hey friends! Being real right now.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I don’t watch many sports.
Ok, I maaaaay watch figure skating during the Olympics and there was this *one* time I got a little excited when the Toronto Maple Leafs were in the playoffs (yeah, that was a let down), but on the norm, I’m not a sports watching girl.
The food that goes along with it, though?
I say BRING IT!!
I will happily put on ma little game day face. Heck, I’ll even wear a ‘GO TEAM’ shirt…..*if* you feed me.
So, without further adieu and in the spirit of the season, I’ve rounded up 20 epic dips for game day! Sound good?

Vegan Dips + Vegetarian Dips (dips without meat)

This posts makes me so hungry I can’t stand it…now the only trouble is, which one to start with??
So so true 😉 Thanks Sue!
This is the dip list to end all dip lists!! It’s non- stop cheese too! lol! Can already tell I’ll be making a couple of these for the Super Bowl game. Heck yeah. Also, I could make your spinach artichoke dip into dinner with all those rolls around it. That’s pretty much a complete meal. #meatlessmonday
p.s. thanks for including my recipe. xoxoxo
Yay! Thanks Karrie! I agree with ya there 😉 And it’s my pleasure! XOXO
I’m a huge sports fan, and not just for the food–but some delicious snacks never hurt the situation! I don’t even know where to start with this round-up. Good thing the Super Bowl is almost here, and then we’ll almost be into March Madness. I can sample all of them!
Thank you Kelsie! Hope you get to try some of them soon 🙂
You know I’m a big fan of my dips, Dawn!! Loving this roundup, and just in time for Super Bowl! It’s making me hungry though…I shouldn’t have scrolled through so late at night! Yow!
I do, I do 😉 And I completely understand! Thanks Katherine 🙂
All of these dips look EPIC! I could eat my weight in each one…especially anything buffalo chicken! YUM! I usually don’t get too into football because I get too involved and I basically have heart palpitations haha because I want my team to win so bad. So that’s why I need a dip like this to distract me! Oh, and maybe a glass (or two) of wine!! Thanks for this round-up, girly!!
I hear ya, Haylie! I hear ya! Wine with dip sounds just perfect, if you ask me 😉 Thanks so much, my friend.
I am all about sports! And I am all about snacks! You’re bringing two of my faves together here! Awesome round-up! Now, where to begin?? Have a great day! XOXO
Woo hoo! Thank you Annie! Have a wonderful day too! XOXO
As you know, I am a huge sports fan here. I don’t know where it came from since neither my mom nor dad are big into sports. But I’m hooked! And watching sports just requires gameday food…like these dips. I’m thinking I’m set for the next 10 weekends if I make 2 of these dips each weekend. 🙂
Lol…too funny! That sounds like quite the plan 😉 Thanks David.
This is definitely an epic dip line up Dawn! I love snacking year round, but I especially enjoy snacking during these cold winter months! And of course, these are also perfect for the super bowl. There are so many dips on the list that my husband and I would enjoy. Thanks for rounding them up!
I agree! Always a good time for a snack 😉 Thanks so much Leanne.
Well, well, well….. if this isn’t an epic dip round-up, I don’t know what is!?! This 20 Epic Dips for Game Day looks AMAZING! I am drooling over every one of these recipes. How fun it will be to make them all.Thanks for including my Greek-layered Dip, friend! xoxo
