"February 3 isn't the time to fumble around with rookie snacks – it's about watching the Big Game with family and friends while enjoying a great spread," said LaDainian Tomlinson. "My game day routine starts with Cheez-It, which we use in a ton of great party recipes."

LaDainian and Torsha have created a recipe run-down to accompany any winning Big Game bash this February 3. In a nod to this year's host city, the Tomlinsons tapped into the Cajun spirit of New Orleans to create a Bayou Blitz Mix featuring Cheez-It crackers. 

Recipes include:

• Cheez-It Bayou Blitz Mix – Add some kick to a snack mix of Cheez-It crackers and Crispix® cereal with southern Cajun spices.
• Gridiron Party Pizzas – Transform Keebler Town House Original crackers into quick-and-easy mini pizzas with this recipe.
• Roasted Red Pepper Spread – Add zest to the party by sprinkling cheese dip with red peppers and garlic and serve with Keebler Club® crackers.
• Rice Krispies Treats Footballs ™ - Mold your Rice Krispies Treats into fun football shapes and top with caramel.
• Chocolate Dipped Pringles – Dunk your favorite Pringles varieties into melted chocolate for a great mix of sweet and salty flavors.
• Fudge Shoppe™ Fudge Stripes™ Layered Bars – Sweeten your Keebler Fudge Stripes cookies by topping them with coconut, chocolate and pecans.
