    Easy Halloween snacks are what turn a normal movie night into a festive family party!

    A bowl of popcorn has witch legs on the bowl.

    The easiest way to turn a regular movie night into a Family PARTY is to serve totally easy Halloween snacks you can make in just a few minutes.

    My kids love a big bowl of popcorn, but these easy movie night snacks help bring in some seasonal flavors like apples, peanut butter, and chocolate.

    There's a great mix of both sweet and salty snacks, too.

    Pick one or two options for a fun variety for movie night!
