                                                1 package (8-1/2 ounces) corn bread/muffin mix  |  
                                                1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese  |  
                                                1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped  |  
                                                1 tablespoon minced chives  |  
                                                6 whole chives  |  
                                                6 pretzel sticks  |  
                                                3/4 cup miniature fish-shaped crackers  |  
                                                1/3 cup spreadable chive and onion cream cheese  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Prepare corn bread batter according to package directions for muffins; stir in the cheddar cheese, jalapeno and minced chives. 2. Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 13-16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. 3. For fishing poles, tie one end of a piece of chive to each pretzel stick and the other end to a fish cracker. Spread muffin tops with cream cheese. Insert a fishing pole into each muffin. Place on a serving platter. Sprinkle remaining fish crackers on platter. Yield: 6 muffins.                              |
