Keep Hunger at Bay With These Manly Bachelor Party Snacks

Big weekend on the way, dude! Your buddy’s wedding is coming up fast and you’re looking forward to being there for his big day. But before that day comes, it’s time to party. Who doesn’t love to get a bit rowdy at a bachelor party? They make classic movies about them for a reason! And just like in the movies, you can get into really big trouble if you overdo it. Before taking on the town, you need to get a good food base going in your stomach. You know, to add some extra padding to your system and help keep you from going off the rails.

What You Need to Consider When Planning Snacks

Alright, let’s get to it. When you need food, but you don’t want to overthink it, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Portability

Whether you’re spending the night in your own city or heading to a completely different country, you need snacks that are made to travel. This often means non-perishable or dehydrated foods, but that’s not always a requirement. If you have a good cooler and plenty of ice, you’ll have plenty of options.

Large Quantities

All for one and one for all, right? Listen, this isn’t like sharing an apartment where it’s every man for himself. All of the snacks brought to a bachelor party weekend are community property.

Minimal Prep Required

Bachelor parties can be non-stop experiences jam-packed with activities and other plans. With this in mind, you can’t depend on having a lot of time to prepare food. The goal should be to pack snacks that are readily available so people can eat no matter what’s going on or what state of mind everyone’s in.

The Best Snacks to Bring to a Bachelor Party

Morning Snacks

Don’t start your days on an empty stomach. It sets the tone for how the rest of the day will go, and if you don’t eat, any alcohol you consume can make things go downhill in a hurry.

Dill Pickle Bloody Mary Mix with Jack Link’s Cold Crafted® Beef Sticks and Cheese

Consider the classic morning staple of party weekends: the Bloody Mary. If you’re going to start your day with a spicy kick, go for Jack Link’s Dill Pickle Bloody Mary Mix along with our Jack Link’s Cold Crafted® Beef Stick & Pepper Jack Cheese Combo.

Mixed Nuts and Dried Fruit

Trail mix is a great option if you want help filling up and have some energy (a cup of mixed nuts has 23.7 grams of protein) and you don’t want strong flavors early in the day. Plus, you can buy large quantities in bulk for a cheaper price than many packaged snacks.

Hash Browns

If you’re renting a house and have access to a stove, hash browns are a crowd-pleaser and they’re filling. Even if you don’t have a stovetop, you can get pre-made hash browns that can be heated up in a microwave.

Pre-Game Snacks

Everyone’s starting to get ready. You’re waiting around and having some beers while waiting for your turn to shower (or during your shower, we’re not judging). Here are some snacks to make you feel good while you pre-game.

Jack Link’s Jerky Pounders

Come on, it’s beef jerky. Everyone loves it and it’s easy to grab, eat, pass around, and reseal to eat again later.

Hot cheese dip with chips

Chips and cheese dip can be purchased in large quantities and the combo does a great job of making you feel all warm and toasty inside. Plus, cheese just goes great with beer; it’s science. 

Chicken wings

You want to talk about revolutionary inventions? The chicken wing changed bar food forever. The spiciness blends perfectly with beer, and the wings are easy to grab and chow down quickly.

2 AM Snacks

You’ve made it back to base camp. The night was fun, but you really need to get some food in your gut. Here are some answers:

Extra Thick Cut Pork Strips

Barbecue sure hits the spot after a day and night of partying. But you’re probably not able to grill at this point, so satisfy that hankering for a smoky sweet flavor and grab some Extra Thick Cut Barbecue Recipe Pork Strips.

Mac n Cheese

Rich, satisfying, gooey deliciousness that’s about as sloppy as you are by this point. You can get easy, convenient microwaveable cups of mac n cheese at most grocery stores.

Pizza

Nobody’s going to turn down pizza at 2:00 in the morning. Nobody. Hot tip: Pre-cook it before you leave and eat it cold when you get back. You’ll have pizza without the work!
