Fall movie snacks
There’s just something about fall, when the weather is a cool 65 degrees and your football team just won. Or maybe you enjoy a good book with tea and a warm blanket better. Well, no matter what you prefer, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite, coziest snacks that are perfect for fall.
1) Baked Pumpkin Donut Holes
These pumpkin donut holes are great for the whole family! They are easy to make and can be stored in the freezer, unless they get eaten first! These are a simple breakfast that can be paired with bacon and eggs or taken on the road to a pumpkin patch.
2) Caramel Pretzel Popcorn
This recipe just elevates your standard popcorn. A great way to add variety to popcorn is by swapping out different snacks easily! You could also use this to make popcorn balls.
3) Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
These peanut butter bars are great to take to a friend's for dinner! They keep really well in the fridge and hold up nicely if you are packing them for on-the-go use.
4) Trail Mix
Need I say anymore? This homemade trail mix is an optimal snack to take to work, school, or eat while watching football! You can easily customize it to add your favorite fall twist.
5) Bacon Bites
These bites are the perfect appetizer for a movie night or watch party. They don’t take long to make and have the right amount of sweet & savory.
6) Apple Nachos
Hands down, these are by far my favorite to take. I love caramel apples, but I don’t like almost breaking a tooth or my jaw trying to eat them. This is simply a deconstructed caramel apple!
