19 Snacks To Try On Your Next Movie Night

You can’t have a perfect movie night without the perfect snacks. Instead of buying ready-made snacks from the store, why don’t you make your movie night extra special by making them yourself. 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.

2. Loaded Vegan Nachos

Speaking of nachos, try this vegan option. It’s just as easy and just as loaded with flavour. You get chili, black beans, roasted tomato salsa, refried beans, tomatoes, olives, onions, jalapeños, radishes, guacamole, and a gooey nacho sauce.  And it’s vegan!

3. Candied Almonds

I don’t know about you, but I’d snack on candied almonds all day, every day. Check out this recipe if you want to try them out at your next movie night. You get both sweet and smoky from these ones, because of the smoked paprika. It’s an addictive flavour.

4. Olive-Rosemary Spiced Cashews

Not everyone likes almonds, so if they are not your cup of tea—or cup of nuts, in this case—try this delicious recipe for scrumptious olive-rosemary spiced cashews. And if you don’t like cashews, you can use the same recipe and apply it to walnuts, pecans or almonds.

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

Plain strawberries are a treat. But if you want to have an extra special treat for your movie night, cover them in chocolate. Very simple solution. They are super easy to make, but they’re so delicious!

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.

These actually sound lovely even if you don’t like Maltesers. They are nut-based on the inside and the outside is chocolate. They would have that crunchy inside that Maltesers have and you can dip it in any chocolate you like. So it’s customizable, it’s delicious and it makes one amazing movie night snack.
