Movie Night Snacks

Popcorn is the headliner, but a great movie night has a supporting cast. This collection rounds up easy homemade snacks — sweet, salty, and in-between — plus simple ways to assemble them into a spread: snack boards, concession-style servings, and make-ahead treats that survive a paused movie. Every idea here is genuinely easy: short ingredient lists, minimal cleanup, and honest notes on what can be made ahead versus what has to be served warm. We also flag which snacks work for young kids and which — like whole nuts, hard candy, and popcorn itself — are choking hazards for children under about four.
