My son has been playing little league baseball for the last six years and that means I have six years of experience being the team mom, six years of experience coordinating snack sign ups, and six years of watching moms try to outdo each other with their creativity with their snacks. Myself included.
I made up this baseball munchie mix at the peak of my team mom career (that was two years in) and it was all down hill after that. However, I will never forget the faces of our little farm ball players after their game when I passed these out. They thought the plastic hats were the absolute coolest, especially because it had their team logo on them.
I had found these adorable plastic ball caps on Amazon and knew I had to plan a snack around them. I took all of my son’s favorite salty and sweet snacks, mixed them up in a big bowl, and combined them into one epic snack mix served in the cutest hats. Now, if you don’t want to spend the money on plastic hats, you can absolutely make this mix and just put it in some plastic bags. Trust me, the kids will still be super stoked. I mean after all, there is candy involved.
Now, do you need a recipe for this? Probably not. But my blog is about all things in the kitchen and inspiring people to have fun. And that may even be to help all my fellow baseball moms out with a creative and fun snack idea for your little sluggers. I know Folsom moms aren’t the only baseball moms trying to outdo each other with their creative snack ideas. Plus, this is a fantastic recipe for a baseball or World Series watching party too!
