SERVES

6–8 people

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Here's everything we used to build this cozy movie-night board:

  • 1 large bowl of buttered popcorn

  • 1½ cups nacho chips

  • ¾ cup sour gummy candies

  • ¾ cup chocolate-coated candies (like M&Ms)

  • ½ cup caramel chews

  • ½ cup chocolate-covered almonds

  • ½ cup yogurt-covered raisins

  • ½ cup peanut butter candies

HOW TO BUILD IT

  1. Start with the popcorn.
    Place it in a generous bowl just off-center on your board. It’s the heart of the movie snack spread and helps anchor the whole arrangement.

  2. Add nacho chips.
    Fan these out beside the popcorn for easy snacking and visual contrast.

  3. Use small bowls for candies.
    Keep candies and sticky sweets contained using small dishes to maintain clean lines and avoid mess.

  4. Distribute remaining items.
    Fill in gaps with caramel chews, almonds, raisins, and peanut butter treats to build an abundant and inviting board.

  5. Set the mood.
    Dim the lights, throw on your favorite film, and enjoy a night that’s equal parts delicious and nostalgic.

STYLING TIPS

  • Stick to warm tones and low lighting to create a moody, cinematic feel.

  • Mix textures and colors for visual interest—crunchy chips, soft caramels, shiny candy shells.

  • Add personal favorites to make it your own—mini pretzels, themed holiday treats, or chocolate bark work beautifully.
