Fun Halloween Movie Night Snack Ideas
Sweet Halloween Movie Night Snacks
Oreo Mummies
These cute little mummy cookies are made with three easy ingredients: Oreos, icing, and candy eyes! They take 5 minutes to make, and who doesn’t love Oreos?!
Monster Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie treats are always an excellent choice for making themed treats because they are easy to customize! You can use a cookie cutter, icing, or food coloring to transform them into something fun! These little monster treats are made with Rice Krispie bars, green candy melts, and candy eyes.
Apple Pie Halloween Bites
Apple pie is a dessert classic, especially in the Fall. But a whole pie isn’t exactly easy to make. Plus, it’s a little messy for movie night on the couch. But these little apple pie bites are the perfect handheld treat! They have all the deliciousness of apple pie, rolled up in a Crescent Roll dough!
Halloween Dirt Cups
Dirt cups are another easy, but fun dessert. All you need is chocolate pudding and crushed Oreos! Of course, if you want to make it spooky you can add candy pumpkins, worms, or even gravestones!
Halloween Sugar Cookies
The Pillsbury Ready to Bake cookie dough with spooky shapes, like pumpkins and ghosts, has always been one of my favorite easy festive treats. Just pop them in the oven and in about 10 minutes you have spooky cookies!
Salty Halloween Movie Snack Ideas
Halloween Snack Mix
Themed movie nights should be EASY! So a quick popcorn snack mix is a great go-to idea. This Halloween snack idea contains popcorn, candy corn, gummy eyeballs, Halloween sprinkles, and other spooky candy! Just mix it all together and serve it up for movie night!
Mummy Pretzels
A combination of sweet and savory is always great for a movie night snack! These Mummy Pretzels are drizzled with vanilla icing, which makes the perfect sweet and salty spooky snack.
