Party Panache, Easy Appetizers for Super Bowl

Only 1 more football game before the season is over,
and since it’s the Super Bowl,
you’re going to want some super great noshes!
I have 3 easy peasy delicious new bites to share with you today, plus a round up of past favorites
The printable recipes can be found at the end of the post
Spinach & Artichoke Spirals are made with spinach artichoke dip and crescent roll dough
I used this prepared dip from the grocery store, and low fat Crescent Roll dough
This made 20 spirals, 60 calories each
We had these Orange Roll Ham Sliders as part of our Christmas Eve Brunch Buffet, and they were a big hit with all ages
I used prepared orange rolls from the freezer section of the grocery store,
but you could also use orange rolls from a bakery or make your own like these easy Orange Roll Clouds
The sweet icing and orange flavor of the rolls are a wonderful contrast to the mustard butter and savory ham slices inside
Ham and Cheese Volcano Bites have a simple biscuit dough crust
Each biscuit is cut into 1/4s and then put into a mini muffin tin, pushing middle down forming an indent to hold the filling
I call these Volcano bites because they swell up and look like an erupting volcano after baking
This recipe is adapted from Plain Chicken
And here are some other tasty Super Bowl worthy bites
Puff Pastry Bites are filled with salami, Dijon and Gruyère cheese, baked and cut into golden squares
Touch Down Burger Bombs are like a mini cheeseburger wrapped in a crispy piece of bacon
Brown Sugar Bacon Bundles tater tots, bacon, brown sugar…need I say more?
Pigs in a Blanket with Tangy Mustard Butter, a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce really elevates this classic favorite!
It’s not a party without a good dip,
these are 2 very favorites, one cold one hot
Wedge Salad Dip is packed full of crispy bacon, tomatoes and crispy lettuce and can be served with a variety of dippers
Hissy Fit Dip, named for a Southern belle who had a hissy fit when the dip ran out, is hard to resist, it’s full of sausage, cheese and sour cream
Here are the recipes for the first 3 appetizers, just click on the highlighted names of the other recipes for more info

SPINACH & ARTICHOKE SPIRALS
Ingredients
- 1 can 8 count, crescent roll dough {I used reduced fat}
- 6.5 oz Spinach & Artichoke Alouette spreadable cheese, or 1 cup prepared Spinach and Artichoke Dip
Instructions
- Unroll dough onto a piece of parchment paper and pinch seams together. Spread dip onto dough in an even layer just short of the edges. Starting from the long side, roll dough as tightly as possible into a log. Wrap parchment around dough log and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or for several hours to make slicing easier.
- Slice chilled log into approximately 1/2 inch slices and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until dough is cooked through and golden.

Ham & Cheese Volcano Bites
Ingredients
- 1 can 8 count, large biscuits {Pillsbury Grands}
- 1 cup diced dinner ham
- 3 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese grated
- 3 oz. extra sharp white Cheddar cheese grated
- 1/3 cup soft cream cheese
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp light brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon honey dijon mustard
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese with mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire in a mixing bowl. Add ham and cheeses and mix well to blend.
- Cut the biscuits into 1/4s. Spray mini muffin pans with cooking oil spray. Flatten and shape each biscuit piece into a square and place in pan, pressing dough down in the center. Fill center of dough pieces generously with ham mixture. I found it easiest to use my fingers for this. Bake filled dough for 25-35 minutes until dough is cooked through and golden. Baking time will depend on pan used and your oven, so start checking after 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature

Orange Roll Ham Sliders
Ingredients
- 24 frozen orange rolls thawed, or fresh orange rolls from a bakery
- ham slices* cut to fit rolls {amount will be determined by the type of ham used see note below}
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Mix the butter with brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Stir vigorously to combine and brush on the inside of each roll top and bottom.
- Place ham slices on each roll bottom and cover with roll top. Place rolls close together into a baking pan and cover and refrigerate until baking. Bake according to package directions or until rolls are hot. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes

Yum! Super Super Bowl treats!
Love the artichoke watercolor!
thanks Sharon, one of my favorites too 🙂
Outstanding party recipes! Another one of your posts are pinned to Pinterest!
thanks Nancy~
My plate would be overflowing! Everything looks delicious Jenna. I need to make the orange ham sliders when I have a crowd and the BLT dip. I’m sure all your guests look forward to games at your home………..
the BLT dip was a huge favorite and the orange roll ham sliders are irresistible…thanks Emily!
I get so many ideas from your easy least recipes. I’m always up for a new spiral as they are a sure hit.
You are killing me with all of these! I am going to have to make at least half of these, and I’m not even having a Super Bowl party or watching the game. The puffed pastry bites with the ham and Gruyere cheese look amazing. I’ve made orange rolls, and I like the addition of the ham and Dijon. I have also come to the conclusion that you can pretty much roll anything up in a crescent roll and it’s going to be delicious. This week I’m rolling pimento cheese in mine. Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
The puff pastry bites come from Ina Garten, so classic, so good! Yes, a can of crescent rolls makes magic, thanks Pattie!
These all sound delicious! I love finger foods and these sound fantastic! I am one of those unhappy with the call in the Saints game so I won’t be watching the game, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be indulging in some of your delish recipes!!
So sad that game ended that way, I’m a Saints fan too, but I LOVE football! Thanks Chloe!
Millie Ray orange rolls are delish. I am going to make this recipe for breakfast Saturday morning as I will have a friend spending the weekend with me. This is simple and looks so good! All of your appetizers look amazing! Have a great week, Jenna!
Dangerously good! Thanks Pam!
Oh appetizers are my weakness – whether homemade or at a restaurant. I am pinning all of these incredible ideas.
Thanks Jackie, I would rather have apps than a meal 🙂
I want to come to your house for some Super Bowl munchies, Jenna! We have a group of friends that celebrates birthdays every month, and our last luncheon we had appetizers, salads and desserts. We loved it!
what a great idea!
WOW! It all looks so good! Great ideas and easy enough to whip up. Our bunch loves to roast oysters for Superbowl. Every year the main menu changes. One year it was fingerfooods all the way. Good old football fingerfoods! One year we fried up a batch of venison and french fries. This year I think they are wanting fried fish and cheese grits. Either way…I am ready for game day. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
thanks Cindy! My son wants to cook a turkey breast this year, so who knows what will be on our menu!
Why didn’t I read this before I went to the store this morning? It’s snowing hard and 9-12 inches are predicted. I know a few things I would have added to my list!
Great recipes and perfect for upcoming super bowl game. I make the tater tot and bacon “bombs” all the time and they are delish. Can’t wait to try all your recipes. Have a great day my friend.
You too, thanks Kari!
Jenna, these recipes look yummy! I adore finger foods! Thanks for sharing. I hope that you are enjoying your week!!!
thanks Shannon, I love finger food, it feels less guilty!
OH my goodness! PINNED, PINNED, PINNED! They all have my mouth watering! I love finger food like this, but it always moves to my thighs! Ha. More time will be needed at the Y! Thanks Jenna for all these tasty recipes. The BIG decision is which one to try first!
Thanks Cyndi, yes they’re not exactly diet food, but we’ve got to keep our strength up right? Hope you’re staying safe and warm!
You’re the crescent roll Queen Jenna! Love the combo of spinach and artichoke in the spreadable cheese!
I do seem to use it alot don’t I 🙂 Thanks Mary!
The Super Bowl food at your house was delicious, every recipe is a keeper! Hope you are having a great week and thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with us at Full Plate Thursday!

thanks Miz Helen!
Hissy Fit Dip is mentioned in post from last year, but I did not find link to recipe? How did I miss this – sounds intriguing & possibly low-carb. Recipe? Thanks, Jenna!
