Easy Slow-Cooker Snacks For Game Day

What do we love most about game day? The snacks, of course. Cheesy dips, Buffalo chicken, meaty sliders, and extravagant nachos are what make game day so special, whether we're watching at home or are out tailgating. But we often find that making all these fabulous treats is more work than we had planned for: Hours in the kitchen to cook all our favorite snacks isn't exactly how we envisioned spending our greedy weekend. However, this no longer has to be the case: Thankfully, we've found slow-cooker versions for all our favorite game-day snacks.

We promise that this slightly lighter take on the classic, cheese-rich, Buffalo chicken dip doesn't skimp on flavor — just on the calories.

You can't host a game-day party and not serve Buffalo wings. Save yourself some work this year, and let the slow-cooker cook them to perfection for you.

Serve everybody's favorite crunchy snack, but show off your hosting skills by making your own rather than serving it straight out the bag. We promise the extra two minutes of effort it takes to cook is worth it.

Seven-layer dips look spectacular, and don't have to take all day to put together. Serve this dip warm, straight from the slow-cooker, topped with plenty of melted cheese.
