9. Potato Skins – The Pioneer Woman goes nostalgic on an old time favorite, like when there was no three-pointer or shot clock.

12. Pizza Dip – Pizza. In a dip. During a basketball game. Enough said. Thanks Bakes in Slippers.

15. Green Velvet Cupcakes with Baileys Cream Cheese Frosting – Our Kids Mom combines the sweet of #10 and the adult of #11 and gives us both in this Cinderella pick.
16. Power Balls – Joanna Gaines brings some of the healthy into the typically not-so-healthy watch party fare.

Make one. Make all 16. Or anywhere in between.

Whatever your decision, these appetizers are sure to inject some savory flavor into your Sweet 16 party.
