Oscars Night – Movie Snacks

February 21st, 2013

Triple Feature Snacks - Oscars Party

I love having things to look forward to. It’s so important for my state of mind and helps even the most mundane days if there’s something fun on the horizon. And it doesn’t have to be anything major – remembering we have recorded shows to watch, an approaching dinner party, or an upcoming concert all do the trick. When the holidays wrap up – after all of the gifts have been opened and the new year’s begun, I love knowing that at least movie awards season is nearby. This borders on almost an unhealthy obsession, but all of the glitz and glamour, movie-watching, and nights spent viewing awards shows with friends is such an exciting time of year. In honor of the The Oscars (which are this Sunday!), I put my twist on three quintessential movie-going snacks (soda, popcorn, and candy) to make at home, but with an elevated twist: meringue candy kisses, brown butter sage popcorn, and a fancy Shirley Temple. You can find all of the recipes here.

    Emily, please, we need a cookbook made by you with all those little super yummy fun snacks! I would love to have a cookbook with recipes for this kind of events: just snacks, appetizers and desserts to enjoy with friends while gossiping about dresses or films, or tv series!!!

    I agree! Having something to look forward makes the every day routine even happier! Yesterday I posted on my blog a garlic and rosemary pizza that it’s also a good snack for the Oscars night… I believe you’ll like it! http://www.forasweeterlife.com

    The meringue kisses are adorable, who could possibly say no to a delicious twist on popcorn and I love love loved Shirley Temple’s as a kid! Felt like such a grown-up drinking it like it was cocktail of my own.

    I’m so bummed by the fact that I can never watch the Oscars live! I live in Europe, and for me, the show starts around 4am on Monday morning. Would be hard to explain to my boss that I need to take my Monday off to spend the night watching the red carpet :) I’ll be definitely trying the popcorn though, it sounds really delicious!

    I’m the same way, and I used to think I was weird for always making little things to look forward to (even if it’s just a movie night in). Glad to know I’m not alone! :)

    My stomach started growling looking at these pictures (no joke)! The best part about the Oscars is getting to pig out while wearing sweatpants. These snacks look so good!
