Top 7 Must-Have Movie Snacks
When I’m looking for the perfect movie snack to balance out the salty popcorn, I always grab gummy bears. This is a must when watching a movie. Gummy bears are the perfect snack when you are craving something sweet. There are a ton of different brands of gummy bears, but my personal favortie are the Haribo gummy bears. If you are craving something sweet/sour they have sour gummy bears as well. There are so many to choose from! You can get these at pretty much any store or gas station. These are a cheap option and they are a highly ranked movie snack.
Having a slurpee while watching a movie is always a good choice of snack. Whether it is from the comfort of your own home or at the movie theater, you can almost always have the chance to grab a slurpee. Most movie theaters have slurpees and if you have a gas station near your home, they almost always have slurpees too. Although having a slurpee is cold, cuddling up in a blanket while watching a movie with a cold, refreshing snack can assure comfy vibes. There are multiple flavors of slurpees depending on your mood so that a slurpee will always fulfill your movie snack requirements.
A classic snack to grab for when you’re craving something salty and crunchy is a bag of chips. While plain chips might be a boring snack for a movie, there are many different varieties of chips. Potato, corn, and tortilla chips all come in a wide variety of flavors. You could get baked or kettle-cooked chips– whatever floats your boat. My personal favorite chip to snack on while watching a movie is a bag of Cool Ranch Doritios.
Popcorn is a go to movie snack, coming in all sizes at the theater and in many ways at home. It also comes in many different forms and flavors. With powder flavor options, and the classic butter you can personalize and spice up this theatre classic.
If you like the salty yet sweet taste of peanut butter and the salty crunch of pretzels, then I highly recommend peanut butter pretzels! This is my favorite go-to snack that I grab on movie nights. Being someone who really likes coupons and going cheap, you can get a pretty decent sized bag from Dollar General for roughly around $2. Wal-Mart also has a tub for around $3-4. This is my first grab when I look for snacks for any kind of movie!
If you’re looking for the perfect snack while watching a movie, peanut M&Ms are always a great choice! They’re the perfect mix of sweet yet salty, and they’re the perfect size for just a simple snack. They’re not too filling so you have room for other snacks or even food after the movie. You can get peanut M&Ms pretty much anywhere; every store seems to sell them. Even the movie theater sells them, so it’s never impossible to find them. If looking for a good movie snack choice, I highly recommend peanut M&Ms!
I have always been a lover of a good old-fashioned root beer float. They are mellow, yet sweet, and remind me of some good memories. Having a root beer float while wrapped up in a warm fuzzy blanket and watching TV gives ultimate cozy vibes. Just make sure you use lactose-free ice cream if you’re lactose intolerant like me!
