As friends and family gather to watch the game and commercials, they know food and beverage options are an important part of the action. Snyder's of Hanover products are a perfect option when entertaining and serving guests.

• Cook 'Em Up – Pretzels are a great addition to a variety of dishes, including crusted chicken tenders, loaded potato skins or even cookies! Crumble them on a macaroni and cheese casserole for a deliciously flavorful and crunchy topping.
• Take a Dip – Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Spoonz, Snaps and Sticks are all great options for serving alongside any type of dip or spread. For a new twist on dessert, consider serving dipping pretzels with a sweet side, such as Brownie Batter Dip.
• Team Up – Pretzels are the perfect pair for another game day tradition — cold beer! Keep the beer on ice and be sure to serve up a variety of Snyder's of Hanover pretzels in a bowl for guests to easily grab by the handful throughout the game. Offer Flavored Pretzel Pieces, such as Hot Buffalo Wing, as well as traditional Sourdough Hards.

Snyder's of Hanover is taking the enjoyment of the Big Game a step further by encouraging fans and followers to snap a photo of their Big Game Spread that includes pretzels.
