Premiere Outdoor Movies • Aug 03, 2019

Watching a movie is always a good time, but watching a movie with the perfect snack can take your movie to the next level! In fact, many people feel that snacks are just as important as the movie itself.

If your next movie night is going to be at home then the options for snacks are limitless without breaking the bank on just one or two choices. Keep things interesting with some of these great choices!

Easy Movie Night Snack Ideas

  1. Nacho Supreme. Is there anything more satisfying that the crispy crunch and salty flavor of a fresh hot platter of nachos! You can mix and match toppings to your liking. As a tip to avoid soggy nachos, try pre-cooking the chips for a bit before adding the toppings! Or serve the tortilla chips with sides a salsa, cheese, and guacamole for dipping.
  2. Pistachios. We all know that watching a movie can trigger mindless eating. Pistachios can be a great option to take advantage of some healthier options and health benefits as these nuts are full of antioxidants. By choosing the shelled version, you have to work a bit before you can indulge so it can slow your snacking down a bit as well.
  3. Mini Pizzas. The great thing about these is that you can take short cuts on how much work you want to do during prep time. You can make your own dough as well as purchasing pre-made crusts. Not to mention how easy it can be to place your favorite toppings and even mix and match.
  4. Chex Mix. Chex mix is as fun to make as it is to eat! There are so many possibilities when choosing your favorite. There are both sweet and savory options that are easy to make large batches of depending on how many will be viewing the movie.
  5. Chicken Wing Dip. This is always a favorite! It is easy to prepare specific to what level of spicy you prefer and perfect for movie night! Pair with tortillas, pita chips, celery or carrots to make an easy delicious movie snack!
  6. Soft Baked Pretzels. Don't be shy, instead experiment with different flavors when you try this recipe, such as cinnamon sugar, salt or garlic powder. Dip options are also plentiful with soft-baked pretzels. Consider a ranch dip, cheese dip, chocolate dip or even just mustard!
  7. Hummus And Pita Chips . Again you can choose to save a bit of time and simply buy your hummus but you can also take a few moments to whip it up at home! There are a plethora of recipes to choose from online. Serve with some great pita chips, vegetables or crackers, and voila!
  8. Caramel Popcorn Balls. We all know that popcorn goes hand and hand with movies. And who doesn't like something sweet? They are easy to make and one your family or guests are sure to devour!
