HappyGrace Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Poor ds8 can't have it because of his palate expander/braces. We are having tortilla chips with guacamole the next day so that rules out nachos, 7 layer dip, etc., and even potato chips (too similar). He can't have nuts either. It's a special movie night so I want something a little bit special (doesn't have to be fancy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen in CO Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Pirate Booty is what my dd enjoyed instead of popcorn when she had braces. Her friends with palate expanders could eat it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simka2 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 A friend of mine made this thing with a chex type cereal, margarine (were fasting dairy) dill and lemon pepper. It was so yummy! and the green of the dill made it very festive. I think they called it Christmas Crunch. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorMama Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 We have a corn allergy and make rice cake 'popcorn'. Crumble rice cakes, drizzle with melted butter and salt. Closest I've ever been able to get to the real thing! The kids love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate booty is great because it dissolves quickly, giving a rest to sore teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdventureMoms Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Sweet potato fries and ranch dressing are a favorite here! For Christmas growing up, mom would often get some of those frozen appetizers (terrible for you, but yummy!) in the grocery store and cook up a bunch of those for a meal while we watched a movie. Potato puffs, pizza rolls, buffalo chicken strips, fried green beans, and taquitos were the favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make it, recipes please!:D I don't know about Reindeer Kisses but Pirate Booty is something you buy. It is a healthier sort of salty snack food like cheese curls, only made with vegetables. I don't actually like it, but my kid thinks it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Rose Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 We love pirate's booty as our movie snack. Another one we like are the chocolate covered pretzels that Costco carries. YUM! Costco also carries pirate's booty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.love.lucy Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 You can make a chex cereal with some melted white chocolate and crushed candy canes. I really, really pulverized the candy canes, so they wouldn't hurt sore teeth. This makes a crunchy sweet snack. 6 c of chex cereal, i pkg of white choc chips, about 6 candy canes pulverized in the food processor. Melt the chocolate and pour over the chex mix, stirring constantly to coat it, then sprinkle on the candy canes. If I recall, I did mix in some of the candy canes into the chocolate before pouring it. If I wanted salty, which I always do :tongue_smilie:, I'd probably just get some Funyuns, or Bugles, or Cheetos. Just enough different from regular chips that you didn't want, but great for munchy kids. My kids love Pirates Booty too, but it's too expensive. I sometimes get the Cheetos PuffCorn stuff. It's a mystery food, but a good little treat when you want something junky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuPanda Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 This thread makes me want cheese balls. I haven't had them in years, and I don't think they were mentioned, but I blame you all for listing all of the crunchy goodness? P.S. I think they have soft pretzels in the freezer section now. You can dip them in cheese! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
