Movie Night Snacks Board
This no-fuss Movie Night Snacks Board is a festive, no-bake feast of colorful finger foods—popcorn, candy, cheese, fruits, nuts, and sweet treats—for healthy, crowd-pleasing fun.
Ingredients
- 3 cups air-popped popcorn try SkinnyPop or homemade with olive oil
- 1 cup mixed chocolate candies M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces
- 8 oz assorted cheeses sharp cheddar, Swiss, and Brie
- 2 cups assorted crackers water crackers, wheat crisps
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds or dry-roasted cashews
- 1 cup mini pretzels twists or sticks
- 1 cup fresh grapes red and green mix
- 1/2 cup baby carrots or cucumber slices
- 1 cup dried fruits apricots, cranberries
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks 70% cocoa
- 3 small bowls dips hummus, tzatziki, honey mustard
Instructions
- Spread popcorn across a large wooden board or baking sheet—it’s lightweight, so nothing slides around (or layer on parchment for easy cleanup).
- Place your hummus, tzatziki, and honey mustard in small ramekins wherever there’s a gap in the popcorn—corners, center, edges… you choose.
- Arrange cheddar, Swiss, and Brie in small groups; fanning slices makes them easy to grab.
- Tuck mini pretzels, baby carrots, and crackers into all nooks and crannies—aim for a colorful mosaic.
- Scatter chocolate candies and dried fruits—honestly, they double as décor and dessert.
- Create little piles of almonds, pistachios, and chilled grape clusters for texture contrast.
- Drizzle a bit of honey over the Brie or place a small pot of honey alongside—it adds a sweet drizzle that guests adore.
Notes
Keep cheese at room temperature 10 minutes before serving for peak flavor. If grapes sweat, pat dry—no one likes soggy fruit. Nestle crackers against cheese clusters to prevent crumbling. Swap in seasonal fruits—like apple slices in fall or berries in summer—for a fresh spin. A mix of textures—crunchy, creamy, chewy—keeps everyone coming back for more.
