1. World Cup 2022 chips
Let’s start off strong by making some delicious and easy World Cup chips at home! Are you ready?
What you will need:
- 3-4 large potatoes (quantity for 2 people)
- oil to fry
- salt to season
World Cup snack preparation:
Cut potatoes into long pieces. Take a large pan and put it on medium to high heat. Fill half the pan with oil. Carefully place the chips in the frying pan with a metal sieve. Fry them for around 8 min until they get a beautiful gold colour. Take them out and leave in a tray with baking paper to cool. The paper will soak some of the excess oil. Season with salt per preference. So easy!
2. Easy garlic bread snack
By far my favourite snack, it’s time to make some crunchy garlic bread!
What you will need:
- 1 baguette
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 5 tbsp. butter
- 2-3 sprigs of parsley
- salt to taste
World Cup snack preparation:
First grate the garlic, and mince the parsley. Preheat your oven to 350 °F/ 180 °C. In a pan, put the olive oil, butter, and garlic and cook for around 2-3 min on medium heat. When done, turn off heat and mix in parsley and salt. Take out a baking tray. Slice the baguette in half and place in tray. Spread the garlic mix on it. Cover the bread with foil and bake for 10-15 min. In the last few min, remove the foil, so the bread gets a nice golden top. Bon appétit! Interested in trying out a cheesier version of this recipe?

4. Caramel popcorn balls snack
And if you are looking for some sweet World Cup snacks, let’s give a go at this homemade caramel popcorn balls recipe!
What you will need:
- 2 bags of microwave popcorn
- 3/4 cups/ 170 gr butter
- 3/4 cups/ 250 gr corn syrup

- 2/3 cups/ 160 ml sweetened condensed milk

- 1/8 tsp. salt
- oil
World Cup snack preparation:
First pop the popcorn. Then place it in a large bowl and leave. Take out a large saucepan and add the butter, syrup and brown sugar. Heat it on medium heat. The temperature of the mix needs to reach 240 °F /115 °C. This is important, because if it is cooler we won’t be able to make caramel. Once it is 240°F /115 °C, add the milk and vanilla and heat for 1 more min. Add the salt and stir. Pour the mix over popcorn and mix. Give it time to cool a bit. Place the popcorn in a baking tray. Lightly oil your hands. Start shaping the mixture into balls. When done, serve.

7. Baked tortilla chips snack
For me, it’s so much easier to bake tortilla chips rather than to fry them. Why not give it a try yourselves?
What you will need:
- a package of corn tortillas
