Superbowl party ideas

[LBAK]

Does anyone have good make ahead recipes for a superbowl party. Any dips, appetizers and fun finger food. I don't want to get involved with complicated dishes. Any ideas are appreciated!

Guaranteed to be a hit:
Little Smokies
INGREDIENTS
1 pound sliced bacon, cut into thirds
1 (14 ounce) package beef cocktail wieners
3/4 cup brown sugar, or to taste
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Refrigerate 2/3 of the bacon until needed. It is easier to wrap the wieners with cold bacon. Wrap each cocktail wiener with a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar generously over all.
Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until the sugar is bubbly. To serve, place the wieners in a slow cooker and keep on the low setting.

I love 7 layer dip. You can serve it cold, warm, or room temp. I prefer it slightly warmed to melt the cheese with the Scoops tortilla chips. Depending on how many people you're having or how much other food, I usually 1/2 the recipe to make an 8x8 pan vs. a 13x9.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 pounds ground beef (I like to add taco seasoning)
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
4 cups shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup guacamole
1 cup salsa
1 (6 ounce) can black olives, chopped
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped green onions
DIRECTIONS
In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Set aside to drain and cool to room temperature.
Spread the beans into the bottom of a 9x13 inch serving tray that is about 1 1/2 inches deep. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheese on top of beans. Sprinkle beef on top of cheese. Spread sour cream very slowly on top of beef. Spread guacamole on top of sour cream. Pour salsa over guacamole and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese. Sprinkle black olives, tomatoes, and green onions on top.
