Super Bowl Sunday is nearly here, and that means one thing: Snack time.
Sure, some people are just there for the halftime show. And others are all about the commercials. (Apparently, there's even a game happening.) But we're there for the snacks—and particularly, the dips!
To help make sure your own lineup is ready for peak performance, we've arranged two dozen of our favorite Super Bowl Dips, from classics like Buffalo, to wild cards like Spicy Sesame Guacamole. So no matter who plays, you win!

Salmon Rillettes
If you're looking for something a touch more elegant for the Super Bowl, consider rillettes. An old-fashioned method of preserving meat in fat or cream, it turns out to be one of those impossibly tasty cracker toppings. Here, cooked salmon soaks in wine and crème fraîche for a treat that's sure to disappear fast.

Pineapple-Serrano Salsa
Another must-have Super Bowl dip is, of course, salsa. Skip the jars and try this fresher pico-de-gallo take, which blends sweet pineapple with quite-spicy serrano peppers. (For a less intense flavor, sub in jalapeños.)
