Today’s Topic: Snacks
There are a number of factors to take into consideration when it comes to Oscar food. Do you go with overly cute themed items (i.e. No Casserole for Old Men washed down with Gin and Juno)? How do you ensure that the food isn’t so crunchy that you can’t hear the nerdy visual effects guys accept their awards? These questions can be stressful.
Since the Oscars are a fancy event for the movies why not serve fancy versions of movie food? Here are some suggestions:
Elegant popcorn bar: Give each attendee a small bowl of popcorn. Lay out as many ingredients and additions that you can find in your cabinets (spices, candy, tuna, don’t limit your creativity). Have each person make their own artisan popcorn creation. Then hold a taste test and declare a winner.
Goobers and Raisinettes are great but they are often stale coming out of the box. Solve this problem by melting chocolate and making fresh versions of these movie theater staples. Don’t limit yourself to raisins and peanuts, I bet Craisinettes would be excellent.
The possibilities are endless but I am sure that adding class to any movie snack will add a dash of class to your party, even if it is not black tie.
