5 NASCAR Tailgating Snacks To Try
1. Candied Bacon
This candied bacon recipe only has two ingredients. It’s easy to whip up and is sure to make everyone ooh and aah. They are sweet, savory, and absolutely addictive! You may need to double or triple the recipe in order to keep up with demand!
It’s a good idea to check the candied bacon around 20 minutes, though, because some strips can cook faster than others. When the brown sugar melts and the pieces turn deep brown, they are done.
You should allow these tailgating snacks to cool for a bit before serving them since bacon grease can be very hot. After the cooling process occurs, it is time for NASCAR fans to enjoy the candied bacon.
2. Race Day Dip
Race day dip is a hot dip that only takes 30 minutes to make. You can enjoy this multi-layered dip on NASCAR race day, or whenever your favorite sporting event is live. It’s easy to scoop onto a plate, and tortilla chips are the perfect accompaniment. Plus, you can make it ahead of time and throw it in the oven once your guests arrive. Are you ready to get started? Okay, here we go.
3. Fully Loaded Deviled Eggs
It takes a total of about 1 hour to make this recipe, which yields 12 deviled egg halves. These tailgating snacks are finger foods worth the effort, though. They taste absolutely delightful and will keep homegate guests coming back for more. This recipe has a few more ingredients than the other two but is still totally manageable.
4. Sticky Honey Mustard Chicken Wings
