Oscar Watching Snacks

In honor of the Oscars this Sunday, I found 6 new recipes to make your Oscar viewing a night your stomach will never forget. From popcorn to shrimp to cupcakes, your party menu will have it all!

1. Chocolate Covered Popcorn

The Oscars are all about celebrating the best of Hollywood, so why not celebrate with the best of popcorn? Chocolate covered popcorn would win an Oscar for best snack in my opinion. For the popcorn, you can either use microwave popcorn or follow the recipe from my healthy snacks post without adding the seasoning. Lay out the popcorn on a cookie sheet. Melt half a bag of semi sweet chocolate chips in the microwave and drizzle it over the popcorn, allowing it to dry before serving.




2. Roasted Grape and Blue Cheese Crostini

Alright, just the name of this sounds fancy; it upholds the regal air of the Oscars spirit. Not to mention it looks sooooo delicious. They are the perfect appetizer for your Oscars party or any party for that matter because they are delicious and easy to make! All you do is cut a baguette into thin slices and bake the olive oil and grapes in the oven. Then put the mix, a drizzle of honey, and the blue cheese on top of the bread and toast the slices for about five minutes at 400 degrees. For the full recipe, visit Two Peas and their Pod.
