Some are easier, some are really impressive. There are healthy snacks, loaded snacks and in general anything you could want and need on your next movie night.
1. Loaded Nachos
Nachos have become an integral part of movie nights. They have definitely replaced popcorn for a lot of people when it comes to go-to snacks. Check out this recipe of loaded nachos if you are craving some of that crispy, flavourful goodness for your movie night.

9. Guilt-Free Brownies
I love brownies, but more often than not, they are so packed with sugar that I feel super guilty eating them. And they’re usually not even that good. Mostly cause you can’t really have more than one, because a lot of the recipes are super rich and overly sweet. This recipe should fix that. You can cut into smaller pieces and enjoy the brownie the whole way through your movie night without any guilt.

10. Peanut butter stuffed brownie cookies

12. Crispy baked chickpeas
Baked chickpeas are the best. They are amazing in a salad and they are equally great as a snack. It’s like crunchy deconstructed humous, so it’s nothing like humous except that it’s chickpeas and it’s delicious.

13. Healthy S-mores Dip
Speaking of chickpeas. Don’t hate on this until you try it, because this is going to blog your mind. Chickpeas make a great meringue alternative because when you beat them and add sugar they act like egg whites. It sounds crazy, but you really can’t tell the difference. And with the chocolate underneath, this is going to be the best snack you’ve made and you’re going to feel so much better knowing that it’s made with chickpea water.
