The mix of chewy, crunchy, fruity, and chocolatey treats ensures everyone will find something they enjoy. For best results, choose fresh popcorn and make sure candies are sorted for easy grabbing.
How to Assemble a Movie Night Snack Board
Line the pizza pan with parchment paper, trimming to fit the circular shape if needed. Fill the small bucket with popcorn and place it at the top center of your board to anchor the layout. Next, fill two ramekins—one with Junior Mints and the other with Dots. Set the Junior Mints ramekin on the bottom left, and the Dots ramekin on the bottom right.
Arrange the Twizzlers horizontally between the two ramekins along the bottom portion of the board. Place Milk Duds below the popcorn bucket, just above the right ramekin, and to the right of the Twizzlers. Add Mike and Ike’s under the popcorn on the left side, touching the left end of the Twizzlers.
Set the Raisinets just below the Dots ramekin, completing the right edge. Fill the gap below the Junior Mints ramekin with the Peanut M&Ms. Use extra popcorn to fill any empty gaps and create a balanced, full look.

Such a cute idea. I love the patriotic one pictured at the bottom of your post.
What a fun idea! When our girls were growing up, Fridays were almost always pizza and movie nights. A sweet filled board would have been the perfect dessert!
Definitely nostalgic! I remember all these candies going to the movies and the Y for swim team as a kid. Although we had red ropes in the swim team concession stand instead of twizzlers, totally different. I love that patriotic board too!
Very cute, although I’d have a hard time sharing!
Genius. So, what are we watching with this board?? I need some good movie recs.
