The ultimate, fun way to serve snacks is a Game Day Snack Stadium. Shaped like a football stadium and filled with a variety of treats from sandwiches to vegetables to chips, your guests will enjoy this creative addition to Game Day.
How fun is this Game Day Snack Stadium?? What a perfect addition to your football party when you have a house full of guests. I like it because it has a little something for everyone. From crackers to chips to sandwiches to candy... I mean, it has a little of everything!
If you wanted to add homemade cookies to the stadium, Gooey Strawberry Cookies would be good addition. So would White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Instead of salsa in the end zone, this guacamole dip would be great.
Ingredients
- tortilla chips
- salsa - any brand
- soda - any brand
- Skittles
- Snickers - I got a variety pack but any kind of fun sized candy will work
- premade cookie or ingredients for cookie - will be the football field
- pretzel rods and sticks - any brand
- various vegetables - carrots, cauliflower, broccoli
- sandwiches - peanut butter and jelly, ham, etc...
How to put together a Game Day Snack Stadium
- We found a large box leftover from Christmas. He cut the sides down and scored them so they would bend back.
2. He also cut a piece of plywood for the bottom of the stadium for extra strength. We then stapled the box to the board, at the angle we wanted the "stands".
3. Making the stands for the food was quite easy (and inexpensive!). We simply took old boxes and cut strips of cardboard off of them. We just taped on the strips to the box where ever we wanted the dividers to be.
4. Adding foil to the stadium made it look more complete. It also is a nice background for the food. The total dimensions of this stadium is 4 ft 8 inches by 3 ft 8 inches! You certainly don't have to make a stadium that large, but I'm telling you, it feeds a crowd! :-)
Tortilla chips and salsa make great additions to the snack stadium. I used the salsa as the end zones!
The field is made from a Snickers fun size variety pack. With the almond, regular and peanut butter candy bars in the bag, it made for a great cookie.
Simply chop up about 10 candy bars into bite sized pieces. Then stir them into the cookie dough (recipe below). Green frosting to the top of the cooked cookie makes a great field (you can use my Cream Cheese frosting for this) and added the lines in white frosting.
