Where to Get Your Snack on for Super Bowl XLVI

It's just not Super Bowl without the snacks.

Whether its dad's secret-recipe chili, or the all-you-can-eat wings platter at a local bar, food and football go hand-in-hand on this king of all game days.

So to help you prepare for Super Bowl XLVI, we've compiled a list of Macomb bars and restaurants offering Super Bowl specials as well as a few recipes from local residents who prefer to keep the watch party at home.

The New England Patriots take on the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday, Feb. 5, in Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, IN. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

The game, and its highly-anticipated commercials, will be broadcast on NBC. It will also be streamed live online, and on fans' mobile phones.

Waffle fries (frozen or fresh)
Beef patties
Cheese of your choice
Grape tomatoes 

Use a waffle fry in place of the bun, add a 1/4 piece of cheese, a small, flat beef patty and use a toothpick to hold the mini cheeseburger together. Bake them in the oven.

This is a delicious, sweet and spicy sauce for any special occasion. Make sure to have toothpicks and napkins!

1 bag pre-made fresh or frozen meatballs
2 bottles (12 oz. each) chili sauce
2 jars (10 oz.) grape jelly

Add 1 tsp. Worchestershire sause and salt and pepper to taste.

Heat the chili sauce and grape jelly in a pot until bubbly. Add precooked meatballs and continue heating until you can stab a meatball and know it is ready.
