Tonight I walked down in the basement at my friends house and when my kids saw me they yelled...YAY!! MOVIE MIX!!
Movie mix is a creation/name I came up with for basically a smorgasbourg of treats during a special t.v. show or movie..
What I love about it...
It is always different.. Normally I start with a base of popcorn and then just add in misc. treats.. (Whatever I have left over in the pantry) But, as seen in tonight's picture that is not always the case. It can truly be anything as long as it is 3-7 different snacks.
Tonight's Snack:
Fruit Snacks
Cheetos Natural cheese puffs
Pretzels
Cashews.
It can be themed: I love that if you are watching a movie or planning a special movie night you can coordinate the movie mix towards it.. example.. If you were watching the movie Finding Nemo.. I would put popcorn, Goldfish crackers, Gummi Octopus or something fun, and maybe Nemo Fruit Snacks.
I can use the tail end of a bag of snacks: Before I started doing movie mix I would pitch the tail end of a bag of snacks if I bought a new one. Now I never do. Sometimes a movie mix will only have 1 or 2 crackers per bowl because I am at the tail end of a snack. It makes the movie mix that much more appealing.
