Important Recipe Notes
- Use what you love! This board is flexible. You can swap out candies for your family’s favorites or add some chocolate-covered pretzels, cookies, or fruit snacks for variety.
- For Popcorn, air-popped or lightly buttered popcorn works best, so it doesn’t get the other candies greasy.
- You can prep this board 1–2 hours ahead of time and cover it loosely with plastic wrap until movie time.
- If you’re serving kids, it’s easy to scoop treats into little paper cups or snack bags once the board is done.
