nmm: need help for party...

A chip of some sort, maybe kettle chips. Or if you want it to be small enough to serve in a brandy glass, that sesame cracker-wasabi pea mix is good with beer. Do you have a World Market store? They have tons of snacky mix type of foods. Trader Joe's should also have a good selection at this time of year.

There is a popular food website somewhere where someone asked about snacks for a beer tasting party, and someone suggested a "make your own snack mix" bar.

I can't remember the website, sorry, it's been a while. I think they basically put out different containers off snack mix ingredients, peanuts, cashews, bagel chips, pretzels, sesame sticks, crackers, dried fruit, chocolate pieces, etc...then they gave everyone containers to blend their own mix.

I like the other posters suggestions. What about kielbasa with mustard?

These suggestions may be more than you were looking to serve, but it looks like there are some good ideas:

cheese and crackers
nuts
pretzels (or soft pretzels!)
pigs in a blanket (these go FAST at my parties)

I like the create your own snack mix idea.

For spicy popcorn, just pop a big batch (with oil, not air popped or it won't hold the seasoning) and toss with cayenne pepper and parmesan, or Cajun seasoning (my favorite).
