DIY Movie Night Popcorn Bar

We love family movie nights over here. It’s a great time to come together and snuggle up with a big bowl of popcorn and treats! In the summer months, we like to kick movie night up a notch and set up an outdoor movie for friends and family to enjoy.

A quick and easy treat I like to set up for these nights is a DIY Movie Night Popcorn Bar. Simply pop a HUGE batch of popcorn, and set out some sweet popcorn toppers.  This way you get to please both your savory and sweet tooth!

For my fruity treat lovers, try using gummy bears, Skittles, or Mike and Ikes.

Any chocolate lovers out there?

Some ideas for you are mini peanut butter cups or Kit Kats, M&Ms or Reese’s Pieces.

Both adults and kids will have a blast creating their own theater treats. Mixing matching salty and sweet until you heart’s content!

    I’m doing a Halloween movie night for “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” and I think we’ll do a popcorn bar. It’s just the 4 of us, so only a few things. But thanks for the idea!

    What are those green boxes called and where do you get them?
    i’m planning to do this for my niece’s party.

    Thanks a lot for sharing.

    1. I just used fruit card board boxes. Our farmer’s market sells their berries, tomatoes, and beans in them 🙂 I hope that helps!

  3. Where did you get those containers

  4. where do u get the popcorn cup holders?
