Sips, Sweets & Snacks

When it comes to movie night, we’re all about the snacks. After all, what good is a fun chick flick without some truly great snacks to laugh over? Why cry in Pride and Prejudice if you can’t catch your tears with a bowl of ice cream?

When Smarties posed Team RAOP the question “How do you Smarties”, the answer was obvious- while we movie night of course! We got our colourful creative juices flowing in the kitchen, and in the end came up with a bright pink and purple Smarties confetti popcorn recipe that promises to make your movie night so much more FUN!

Scroll down for our wild recipe!

Ingredients //

Smarties
Sprinkles
Unsalted plain Popcorn
Pink chocolate melting wafers (ours are from Bulk Barn)

Recipe //

1. First, pop your popcorn however you wish! Set aside in a large bowl.

2. In a double boiler, melt 1/4 of a cup of chocolate wafers, stirring frequently. Once the chocolate is liquid you can slowly add it to your popcorn bowl tossing as you go. Quickly while the chocolate is still hot add as many sprinkles and smarties as you like and toss again.

3. We used a pink and purple as our theme but the rainbow possibilities are endless!

Party Time

As you may or may not know, I recently embarked on a month-long vegan challenge, and in the end the one thing that undid my willpower was pizza.

I’m a junk food queen in general, but when it comes to pizza I can get a little bit out of control (as in I’ll order myself an entire pizza and devour it in one sitting over a few episodes of Sex and The City). Basically if there’s pizza involved, I’m there, and I’ll take any excuse to throw a pizza party. Luckily, Panago just launched six new fall pizzas, so a perfect excuse fell right into my lap- pizza sampling anyone?

Throwing a pizza party is super simple- all you have to do is order a bunch of pies, invite some friends over, and stock up on pretty plates and napkins. That said, we’re not really into basic here at RAOP, so we added sparkling pink lemonade, florals, and pops of colour to the mix. We decided to call it the #pastelpizzaparty, and it was sort of the best Saturday afternoon ever.
