Make movie night extra special with a show-stopping board covered in popcorn and candy! It creates the perfect customizable treat for family movie night, sleepovers and birthday parties.
What a Show-Stopper!
Popcorn, candy and a great flick, what could be better? This Movie Night Popcorn Board is covered in a variety of flavorful popcorn and everyone’s favorite sweets. Let each person pick their favorites to build the perfect, customized movie-watching treat. It’s showtime, folks!
We have been enjoying some version of this snack tray for years. The kids all look forward to family movie night when they get to build out their own popcorn buckets with their favorite candies. Bryce is my M&M kid. Brookie goes for anything fruity or pink (Skittles and iced animal cookies). Me, I’m in it for the Milk Duds!
Moderation by Mom
Of course, it’s not a frenzied, sugar-fueled free-for-all. We set limits for the kids for how much candy they can take throughout the movie so they plan accordingly and don’t eat it all before the movie starts. (For example, they each get 10 small candies and 1 Twizzler throughout the movie.)
