Reese’s Snack Mix
Sure, you can buy a bag of snack mix at the store, but then you’re left with raw, unsalted peanuts that no one wants to eat. Instead, mix your own! This version from Hoosier Homemade only takes six ingredients (half of which involve chocolate) and whips up quickly. Prefer different add-ins? Customize to what your family loves!
Movie Night Snack Board
Movie night just got a whole lot better. This film-themed board brings your fave cinema treats to your fingertips, with options like popcorn, licorice, and gummy bears—all you have to do is press “play.” Head to Simply Made Recipes to get all the inspiration.
Galaxy Popcorn
Move over buttered popcorn—there’s a new kernel in town. Whether you’re throwing a space-themed movie night or want to try something new, this colorful recipe uses melting chocolate in galactic colors with some fun star sprinkles.
Apple Nachos
Trying to sneak in some fruit after a long day? These Apple Nachos from The Baker Mama make it easy. All it takes is some sliced apples and the toppings of your choosing. Opt for peanut butter, caramel, chocolate sauce, M&M’s, chopped nuts, and mini chocolate chips, or just pick a few!
