What are Foil Surprise Balls?
Foil ‘Surprise’ Balls are such a fun treat, and can be made ahead of time by parents for a ‘complete surprise’ or prepared by kids and parents together. We love to make a few, toss them into a large Ziploc bag, and then let each boy select their own when it is time for a snack. They love the anticipation of what they will select or find inside. I love that a small healthy snack can be thrown into the mix and then, appreciated much more than if I would offer it by itself!
Materials:
- Foil
- Small Finger Food Snacks
- Large Ziploc Bag
Foil ‘Surprise Balls’ Directions:
1. Cut pieces of foil and lay on the counter.
2. Place small finger food snacks in the center of each piece of foil.
3. Gently crinkle and crumble the foil into a ball; and add an extra layer or two of foil for those really clever little ones!
Toss them into a Ziploc bag to take with you. If the snacks need to stay cool, place the Ziploc into a cooler with an ice pack.
Surprise! Enjoy!
