We've scouted the aisles of our favorite grocery stores in search of the most enticing new snacks, perfect for munching from kickoff to the final seconds of the game. As you shop ahead of your Super Bowl party, keep a lookout for these latest arrivals.

Trader Joe's Cheddar Jalapeño Pull Apart Bread
The best kinds of Super Bowl snacks are the ones that are easily shareable among your friends—but if you want to keep them all to yourself, we won't blame you.

Trader Joe's Vegetarian Meatless Cheeseburger Pizza
The Super Bowl is often associated with chicken wings, ribs, chili, and all sorts of meat-laden meals, which can make things tricky if you are a vegetarian. Luckily, Trader Joe's just launched a new frozen meal—a Vegetarian Meatless Cheeseburger Pizza for $5.99—to spice things up on Super Bowl Sunday. Keep in mind, however, that fans on social media have noted that this item is not fully vegan.
Stonemill Kitchens Buffalo Chicken Dip
Super Bowl appetizers are all about the chips and dip. If you are hosting a party and want a real crowd-pleaser spread, make sure to include some buffalo chicken dip. The new Stonemill Kitchens Buffalo Chicken Dip at Costco might be the star dish of the evening. A 32-ounce container costs $12.99 at the warehouse. You may want to grab a couple of these just in case your guests love it a little too much and it vanishes before kickoff.
Bremer Buffalo Chicken Meatballs
When hosting a Super Bowl watch party, it's way easier to offer your guests finger foods that are easy to pick at throughout the evening. So, go ahead and serve up some meatballs that everyone can grab with a toothpick, like the new Bremer Buffalo Chicken Meatballs for $5.99 at Aldi. There's also a Mushroom and Swiss Beef Meatball flavor available, too.
Fusia Asian Inspirations Crab Rangoon
Crab Rangoon is a popular Chinese-American takeout staple for good reason. The fried wontons are crispy, cheesy and satisfying, like a good Super Bowl snack should be. At Aldi, shoppers can look out for the new Fusia Asian Inspirations Crab Rangoon in the frozen foods aisle. The price is not listed online, so check in store.

You may discover that the chips merely serve as a vessel for the dip to reach your taste buds.
