I'm not exactly a huge sports gal, but I am sporty enough to know that March Madness has begun. Oh, you're wondering what my favorite part of sports games is? Thank you so much for asking! The best part of ANY watch party is, of course, the snacks. With the tournament in full swing, if you're super athletic like me, you're going to be chowing down on LOTS of tasty treats. But which march madness snacks should you make? After lots of intensive field research and nail-biting match-ups (aka a survey of 50 fans), I have narrowed things down to only the greatest tailgate snacks. Here is the March Madness Snack Bracket!
