How to Make Quick and Easy Munchies for Game Watching: Cheesy Party Mix & Southern Coated Pecans

Whether watching the game on TV or going to a local high school game, we always need munchies.  Here are recipes you can make quickly and easily to enjoy during the game.  Try Cheesy Party Mix or Southern Coated Pecans stuffed in baggies inside your bag if the cost of snacks keeps you from taking your family to the local high school games.  Both of these recipes are also great for snacking at home during the game.  The pecans make great holiday gifts and the party mix is great for parties, especially the upcoming Halloween parties.

SOUTHERN COATED PECANS

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cold water
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
1 lb pecan halves

In a 2-quart saucepan combine the sugar, water, salt, vanilla, and cinnamon. Cook this mixture for 10 minutes or until bubbles cook down. Add the pecans and stir until all the pecans are coated. Continue stirring until syrup turns to sugar. Pour onto a cookie sheet and separate. Allow to cool.

Note:  These pecans make excellent holiday gifts stuffed in fancy bags or tins.

CHEESY PARTY MIX

4 cups corn bran cereal
1 1/2 cups thin pretzel sticks, broken into halves
1 cup salted peanuts
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp onion powder

Heat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the cereal, pretzel sticks, and peanuts. Pour the butter over the cereal mixture, mixing well. Sprinkle the cheese and onion powder over the mixture and toss well to thoroughly coat. Spread mixture into an ungreased 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan and bake at 325 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

All 4 Cats Love This and so Does My Neighbor's Cat

by Woodlandtrails from on 2010-09-01
All 4 of my cats love these Friskies Party Mix. They have had all the flavors except the beef/liver which I haven't seen in my grocery store but may yet buy on Amazon. My cats and the neighbor's cat who comes by to mooch love Friskies Party Mix. I was buying Party Mix and Temptations but several of my cats will not touch Temptations so I quit buy it. They all much prefer the Party Mix. Today I purchased 4 of these to stock up.


Cat's favorite treat, good price..

by BethanyLeah from New Mexico on 2010-06-05
My mom's elderly cats adore the Original Crunch favor of these treats but they are very difficult to find around here for less than $1.80 a pouch. We buy them 20 pouches at a time (so they qualify for free shipping) and have them sent right to the house. Very convenient for everyone.

Kitty would not eat this. We gave the whole pack to our animal shelter.


My fickle cats love them

I must agree with the other 2 reviews. My cats are so-o-o-o-o picky but they never turn up their noses when I offer these treats.My cats refuse almost every other treat I offer. Sometimes they will eat another type of treat but after 1 or 2 days, they refuse to eat anymore. These are the best!ps: when your cat gets bored with a favorite toy, don't throw it out. Put it away in a closet for a few months & one day when they seem bored again, bring it out of the closet and give it to them. They will be excited about it again. Cats are like kids so rotate the toys and everyone will be happy.


Great treats, great price...

The Friskies Party Mix Beachside Crunch is my cat's favorite treat. However, they are difficult to find in our area. The price on these is comparable to what I would pay at the super market (perhaps slightly cheaper). They arrived well packaged, no damage. I will definitely order these again.

Magical Treats

by Marcus' Magical Bookshelf from Birmingham, AL United States on 2010-05-07
My cat Jessica has never eaten a treat in her 14 years until these came along. Thank God for this flavor of Party Mix. I also have another cat that will only eat these. Jessica has to take liquid vitamins each night for anemia so these treats are a good snack to follow up the vitamins with! A great product!


Awesome treat!

by carolyn from Canal Winchester, OH on 2009-08-06
I'm not sure what's in these treats, but my cat goes mad for them! He adores the original flavor the most, but goes for all the varieties I've given him so far. This one is no different. He just gobbles them down so fast that there's no toothmark in them whatsoever. Highly, highly recommend!

Dance Rock Masterpiece

by book reviewer of portland from portland oregon usa on 2009-07-16
I also agree with Paul McG above - this is the penultimate moment of the B-52's recording. Largely due to David Byrne's funky repetition. Don't go with this CD though, as they have remixed the tracks without reason.


A New-Wave Must !

by Anthony Hartt from Detroit Mi USA on 2008-07-01
I've been a B-52 lover for years buying most album's unheard 1st, but when Party Mix came out it had many of my favorites made with extended version of the songs I already love. + the album Mesopotamia is now with it so, You gotta have it...


TWO LPS for the price of ONE CD, both classics

by W. T. Hoffman from Pennsylvania, United States on 2008-02-25
This release is horribly underrated, and thats a real shame. Sure, they had just released two of the stand out albums that seemed to define the NEW WAVE sound, and were on top of their game. Then, they released their "REMIX" EP. Wha?? At the time, REMIXES werent done as they are now, and a whole album of remixes? I am willing to bet, that the B-52s were the first band to release an album of remixes of their own music. These remixes allowed the music to open up and breath, plus added some severely psychedelic sound effects on top of the drum machine and keyboard patterns. I loved it, and played it more often then either of the first two albums, which sounded a little "thin" to me at the time. HOT LAVA in remix form, has got to be one of their best achievements ever. Maybe if remix albums were not such a new idea, people would have liked it more. Then, there's MESOPOTAMIA. David Byrne from the TALKING HEADS bought his thick, ENO inspired textures off REMAIN IN LIGHT to the B-52s sound. Again, I just thought WOW. It had seemed that the space age hyper new wave esthetic, was being turned in on itself, and reborn as Psychedelic New Wave. (I would add Nina Hagen, Lena Lovich, and maybe X's WILD GIFT to this sound, along with Legendary Pink Dots, and XTC.) I have to admit, that the songs that were on MESOPOTAMIA might not all be strong, but none of their albums were totally consistant. The standout songs from that EP, were the title track, CAKE, NIP IT IN THE BUD, and LOVELAND. To this day, I find myself singing those songs as much as anything from the first two albums. So, far from seeing this as "FILLER" between the second and third albums, I see this as ESSENCIAL to their transistion from that early punkish/CBGB New Wave sound, and into the denser, more electronic dance music of the Mid 83s, which engulfed their next two albums. If you want to hear the birth of the Manchester psychedelic LUV FEST dance sound, look no further. Rather than some of these BEST OF albums, i recommend this album to newbies. If you like the sound of the REMIX, go buy the first two albums. If you like MESOPOTAMIA, you will like the rest of what the band did in the 80s.


Oh David what were you doing?

by Chris Dust from London, England on 2006-06-15
I will start by stating that this review will concern the Mesopotamia section of this release. I remain unacquainted with Party Mix.For starters Mesopotamia receives a lot of criticism which I feel is largely undue. The title track is arguebly the B52s' greatest achievement. The danceable beat is still evident but it is joined by what I regard as a desire to produce more complex sounding material. The vocal arrangement on this track is particularly memorable. And it has the kind of funk-like vibe that only David Byrne circa 1981 could produce. In other words very much like the sound of Talking Heads and in my opinion a curious hybrid of My life in the Bush of Ghosts, the Catherine Wheel and Wild Planet.Not all the material on this record is quite so strong. I have the feeling that Mr Byrne was not entirely happy in the capacity of producer of this set. Some of the mixes aren't quite there and the indecision shown by the simultaneous release of different mixes of some tracks on both sides of the Atlantic suggests that someone within the record company at least shared my concerns (with reference to Loveland and Cake). Did Charles Blackwell want an Lp instead of an Ep? Was he concerned about keeping the name of the B52's in the music headlines?The appearance of an early version of Queen of Las Vegas on Nude on the Moon really aides in attempting to understand what all parties were trying to achieve with this set. Byrne wanted to work with the B52s and again I suggest that the B52s wanted to broaden the scope of their sound. This mix which is so wildly different to the version on Whammy demonstrated the B52s as the missing link between the Talking Heads and Sly and Robbie era Grace Jones. It really is that good and it appears perverse that the track was not included on this release.As for the remainder of the tracks on Mesopotamia it needs to be reiterated that much of the material is strong but the 'final' mixes are weak. In both versions I find Loveland to out stay its welcome. The 'outside of the USA' mix of Cake however is in my opinion vastly superior to the version which can be found on the original American release. Deep Sleep is a curious 'mood' piece reminiscent of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and is unlike anything else in the B52s' catalogue. Throw that Beat in the Garbage Can does not work and Nip it in the Bud is essentially 'straight-ahead' Eighties rock. I enjoy the track on its own terms but its vibe jars with the rest of the release.To sum-up this is a curious release which I believe probably suffered from too much pressure from Warners and Island respectively. Everything needed more time BUT there is a lot to enjoy and lyrically I believe the band was never more surreal than on the tracks one can find here. Give it a whirl and I defy any true B52s fan not to fall in love with the title track at the very least.


To try and clarify

by John Michael Lynch from Ireland on 2006-03-21
Leaving aside Party Mix which was fairly inspired at the time but a bit superflous now, Mesopotamia has a bit of a back history. This is my understanding of it, feel free to correct me if i got it wrong, I would like to know for sure myselfThe original album was released in America on Warner records and in Europe on Island records. Apparently there was a mix-up in sending the master tapes trans-atlantic and Island ended up with three songs (loveland, cake and throw that beat) in extended form. Maybe unfinished mixes or maybe different takes, no-one seems to be sure.When it was re-released the Island records version uses the original Warner release (albeit with a misprinted cover saying the album contains an extra song, lava, which it doesn't). This, the Warner records re-release, contains the same Warner Version, but remixed. the changes aren't huge but are noticeable. The songs were not cut or shortened, they just do not use the extended Island records versions that some people who bought it originally are used to.Hope this clears up some of the confusion in the reviews.

Zebra Mix is GREAT!

by Natasha from on 2010-01-26
These cupcakes are the first mix my daughter made for me. This is such a smart idea. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, with fun extra information and ideas for the kids to ponder while they stir. I appreciate the opportunity for her to experience the independence of doing a project on her own, with the bonus of her boost of self-confidence from a job well done. I don't always have the patience to show my girl how to cook. These mixes are a splendid relief for both of us! And I've been giving them as gifts - paired with cupcake decorations and cute baking liners. Plus the tins are so cool my daughter uses hers as a lunchbox!
