Slam Dunk Dips & Cheez-Its for Game Day #BigGameSnacks

March 23, 2015

When March rolls around, all bets are on. My brother sends out the text giving us our random scoring number and we all watch as I typically lose most if not all games. But there’s always an excuse to celebrate basketball, even if you’re on a losing streak. One of the best ways to enjoy the big game is over delicious eats. What better way than a little dunking competition with new Cheez-It Grooves? #BigGameSnacks #CollectiveBias

Game Day doesn’t have to be complicated, but little touches can go a long way. I used duct tape to create a simple basketball court on my serving table. The half-circles can be a tricky with rectangular tape, but I found that cutting the tape helped immensely. Plus, once it’s covered in snacks, I’m sure you won’t receive a foul for a minor decorating misstep.

As soon as I finished setting up the court, my little misters soon grabbed their own Cheez-It Crunch’d and starting having their own friendly competition to see who could make a “basket” while they waited.

Usually, they just ended up making the baskets into their mouths.

Next, I opted to create a variety of dips for dunking. These dips are smaller servings, but can be doubled or tripled for larger crowds. They pair well with the new Cheez-It Grooves (Sharp White Cheddar & Original Cheddar pictured) or other varieties of chips and pretzels.

When prepping for the big day, I headed over to Walmart to pick-up our Cheez-It favorites. Cheez-It Grooves can be found next to the traditional Cheez-Its in the snack cracker aisle. After picking up your favorite variety (choose from Zesty Cheddar Ranch, Original Cheddar or  Sharp White Cheddar), head over to the Chips aisle and snag Cheez-It Crunch’d in Cheddar Cheese or Hot and Spicy! Cheez-It is dedicated to using only 100% real cheese, which is baked into every delicious cracker.
