I am soo looking forward to this weekend. The BIG game, the Super Bowl,  yes yes yes!!

OK, yes, I am a bit of a football nut, but I just can't help it. Football  and NASCAR  , that is my thang. Other than that, I could take or leave sports. 

Baseball? Yawn.

Basketball? Boring.

Hockey? I just don't get it.

Don't even get me going on tennis and golf! Kevin likes to watch them, I would rather watch paint dry!

Not saying there is anything wrong with you if you don't feel the same, it is just how I roll.

BUT, I will make an exception to the situation, ifffff you have delicious snacks available. Hey, what can I say? I am easily tempted with yummy treats. You can watch the TV  while I hoover the snack table!

THIS snack my dear friends, falls right into that yummy realm!! While I was making it my whole house smelled like a pizzeria

You see, there is a pizza sauce like seasoning allllll over that crunchy goodness!

Aaannnnndddd there are mini pepperoni in there, yes I said mini pepperoni! Holla   

I had the gang over for the a little get together yesterday. I made a big ol' batch of Pink Prosecco Punch (I need to get that recipe on here), some Cheesy Artichoke and Crab Dip, Tex-Mex Black Bean Quinoa Salad, and Jambalaya Pasta with Crawfish and Sausage.

They loved everything, but came back to ask if I had any more of the party mix left. Leave it to my kids to zero in on the snack food before the healthy stuff 

Luckily this recipe makes a TON! Two baking sheets full of pizza-y goodness, you will be snacking all game long.

Unless you have someone like me that hoovers the snack table!
