Baseball Snack Mix

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

There are two types of people. People who think baseball games are boring and people that don’t. My family falls into the category of people who do not think baseball games are boring. Baseball is EVERYTHING at my house. From both of my boys playing to my husband having a LA Dodgers tattoo, ball is life. And there couldn’t be a better treat than this baseball snack mix for us. Whether it’s watching Kershaw dominate on TV or sitting behind the chain link fence watching my boys play, this snack mix hits the spot. It is full of the stuff you would get at a ball game. Churros, caramel popcorn, salted peanuts, sunflower kernels… and then we add some white chocolate Chex cereal for good measure. Salty, sweet, crunchy- all the best things in one bite.

The Covid shut down

We all remember what it was like when life came to a screeching halt in March 2020. Every thing was scary and unknown. One of the biggest devastations for my family was baseball. We were in Arizona at MLB Spring Training the weekend before things shut down. Luckily for us, we were able to go to our games. After we left, everything was cancelled. In February, my oldest son made the Freshman baseball team and his season got squashed. Then my middle son’s season got cancelled. It was blow after blow. I hadn’t realized how much baseball unified our family.

Once baseball came back in the mid-late summer, it was so sweet. Life felt normal and consistent. And the cherry on top was that the Dodgers won the World Series in 2020! It was a beautiful reprieve of stress and anxiety Covid brought.

How to make baseball snack mix

If you can use a microwave, you can make this baseball snack mix. All we do is melt some white chocolate chips and pour it over some crunchy yummy stuff. We use the white chocolate as glue for the smaller friends in this mix- the peanuts, sunflower kernels and sprinkles. We want to make sure they don’t end up as crumbs at the bottom of the bowl.

If you have a team, use some jimmie sprinkles in your team colors. Or none at all. You can’t go wrong either way. Of course, I did blue and white for our Dodgers.

What is baseball without churros? Those are always a highlight for me. And whatdayaknow, there are mini churros in the cereal aisle! They are PERFECT in this mix. So look for Cinnamon Toast Crunch Churros.

LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at LOCO MOCO 🍳🍚🍔 This is a newer favorite at my house. It is Hawaiian comfort food. Rice topped with a burger patty, brown gravy and a fried egg. It was @phil.rosenthal who reminded me of it. I hadn’t had it in years. I made it for my kids a few weeks ago and they fell in love. I make this more home kitchen-friendly by cooking the burgers in the oven. This is so I don’t set off the fire alarms in my house like I did when I cooked the patties on the stove. While the burger patties cook, I bring together a super simple brown gravy. Then we fry up some eggs and done! Recipe link in profile🔝
