Looking for a fun and festive way to make your Halloween movie night extra special? Grab some skull buckets from the Dollar Tree, whip up some spooky-themed popcorn, and add a few delicious treats to take your movie night to the next level! Here’s how you can create the ultimate Halloween snack setup, complete with skeleton hand glasses serving hot chocolate and cookies on the side.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Skull buckets (Dollar Tree)
- Popcorn (air-popped or microwave)
- Chocolate drizzle (melted chocolate or chocolate syrup)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (bats, pumpkins, or ghosts)
- Marshmallow toppers (for hot chocolate)
- Cookies (sugar cookies or Halloween-themed shapes)
- Skeleton hand Glasses (for serving hot chocolate cups)
- Hot chocolate mix (and milk or water for preparation)
How to Create Your Halloween Movie Night Popcorn:
- Prep Your Skull Buckets: Start by grabbing your skull buckets from the Dollar Tree. These make the perfect spooky popcorn holders for movie night.
- Make the Popcorn: Pop your popcorn using your preferred method. Air-popped or microwave works great for this snack.
- Add the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the freshly popped popcorn. This adds a sweet touch and also serves as the perfect base for the sprinkles to stick.
- Top with Sprinkles: Grab some Halloween-themed sprinkles to give your popcorn a fun, colorful twist. Look for sprinkles shaped like bats, pumpkins, or ghosts to keep with the spooky theme.
- Serve in Skull Buckets: Once your popcorn is all dressed up with chocolate and sprinkles, transfer it to your skull buckets. These add a festive, eerie feel to your snack setup.
Hot Chocolate and Cookie Side Treats
Now, no Halloween movie night is complete without some warm, cozy drinks and a sweet side treat!
- Skeleton Hands Hot Chocolate: Use skeleton hand Glasses (these can be found in Halloween sections at Dollar Tree) to hold small cups of hot chocolate. Simply mix your favorite hot chocolate mix with milk or water and serve in spooky mugs or cups.
- Add Marshmallow Toppers: Make your hot chocolate even more fun by adding marshmallow toppers. You can get creative with Halloween-themed marshmallows or just add a few mini marshmallows to float on top.
- Cookies for a Sweet Treat: Round out your spooky movie night snack selection with cookies. Halloween-themed sugar cookies with icing or classic chocolate chip cookies are a perfect pairing with hot chocolate.
Final Setup
Arrange your skull buckets filled with popcorn in the center of your movie night spread. Place your skeleton-hand-held hot chocolate cups beside them, topped with marshmallows, and don’t forget a plate of cookies for everyone to snack on in between movie scenes. Turn on your favorite family-friendly Halloween movie, and you’re ready to go!
Enjoy your spooky snacks and have a hauntingly good Halloween movie night!
