Movie night snacks are an absolute must during movie night, right? But there are a few extra ways you can make it a family-fun evening with the best goodies, games and crafts. Put on your comfy clothes, turn on the TV and gather your best people!
Bake Movie Night Treats With the Kids
Nothing beats quality family time in the kitchen than when baking with your little ones. Choose from a few easy and simple recipes that even the tiniest of hands can help make. Gently melt a HERSHEY’S milk chocolate bar to drizzle over a bowl of popcorn or bake a tray of ROLO® pretzel delights. Have your helpers place ROLO® chocolate caramels onto pretzels, gently melt them in the oven and add a pecan or another salty treat on top. Have your freshly baked movie snacks ready to go, whether you’re watching an adventure or a classic film.
Create Movie Night Snack Trays
It’s time to get creative in the kitchen! Movie night snack trays that include Hershey candies, popcorn and other treats are a fun way to include all the tastiest goodies at once. Sometimes the best way to eat a chocolate candy bar is to pair it with a salty or crunchy bite to eat. Try adding fresh fruit, veggies, pretzels, chocolate bars and fruit-flavored candy to your tray so everyone has the option to choose their favorite movie night munchie.
Arrange your snack tray to accommodate your kid’s movie night or a special evening prepared just for the two of you. For other snack ideas, check out our trays for different occasions.
Play a Family Fun Game at Intermission
Mash together your movie night party with family game night to have the most spectacular evening of the week. Create your own movie night bingo boards to match the film you’re watching and use TWIZZLERS Bites candy as your markers. Will the winner get a sweet bag of candy as a reward? If you’re feeling extra crafty, grab a few TWIZZLERS PULL ‘N’ PEEL chewy candies to craft tic-tac-toe boards along with colorful HERSHEY’S KISSES chocolates as your Xs and Os — it’s the kind of game you can eat as you play!
Stock Up On the Movie Snack Essentials
Movie night just isn’t complete without Hershey classics in the mix. Grab some of your favorite Hershey candies like TWIZZLERS Twists, KIT KAT® Minis and REESE’S Miniatures candies that are perfect for sharing with the best people. Even with a 6-pack of HERSHEY’S milk chocolate bars on hand, you can make HERSHEY’S s’mores treats to make your outdoor movie night chocolatier (and gooier) than before. With all the sweetest treats on hand, you can mix and match flavors or munch on your go-to candy throughout the night.
