The World Cup Brazil has already started… and we have the perfect savory bites, drinks, and small sweet treats to snack on while watching this grand event. Although the list could go on and on, we are suggesting 32 to snack on… For the 32 days of the World Cup (June 12 – July 13), 32 things to snack on, right? 😉
There is something here for everyone. Most of them are quick to make and individual-portioned. You could either try one per day, since the World Cup will last a bit more than a month, or have a get together with friends and enjoy them all, potluck-style. 😉
If you are headed to Brazil or know someone who will be going, check out this guide with useful tips and advice for all visitors and of course, share it with those who will be going there! It could make all the difference!
Wishing all the teams good luck, and all the visitors to Brazil a warm welcome! For those who cannot attend in person, you can snack on these delicious treats while watching the games. What’s your favorite from this list?
