The best halloween movies and Snacks

We are officially closer to the spookiest holiday of the year! Though this Halloween will be different around the country (and world), we can still keep things fun at home for the kids and ourselves.

​We got together with a friend who is a movie aficionado and asked him to tell us which movies are a must watch with the kids this Halloween... And he delivered some classics we should all make happen. Muchas gracias, Sandro.

What are movies without snacks you ask? Don't worry, we got that covered. Just remembered to always dispose of any leftover foods in the trash - and not your kitchen sink or garbage disposal to help prevent a spooky clog. Should one of those scary clogs happen, give us a call at 214-328-7371. We are available to help you 24/7.

Below please find three Halloween movies and food pairings that are sure to get you in the Halloween spirit.
​

The nightmare before christmaS

A fun musical for the whole family to enjoy. Disney’s ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ follows the story of Jack Skellington, the king of Halloween Town, as he becomes bored with Halloween and discovers Christmas. A movie from that childhood that we can share with our kids and grandkids this holiday season.

Jack Skellington Candy Apples

2 cups white chocolate chips
2 tbsp. coconut oil
4 Granny Smith apples 
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. corn syrup
2 tbsp. milk
Black food coloring
​
DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl melt together chocolate chips and coconut oil. Dip apples into melted chocolate and place on a baking tray lined with a cooling rack. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until hardened. 
2. In another large bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and black food coloring. Transfer to a piping bag or a ziplock bag. 
3. Pipe eyes, lips, and nose. Let set another 10 minutes to harden.

The mummy

‘The Mummy’ movie from 1999 lets you follow adventurer Rick O’Connell, Egyptologist Evelyn, and her brother Jonathan as they try to keep recently revived mummy priest Imhotep from regaining power and taking over. The movie mixes comedy with horror elements and something fun to watch with older kids.

BANANA MUMMIES

INGREDIENTS
4 bananas
1 lb. white chocolate
4 oz. white chocolate
16 mini m&m's
4 oz. milk chocolate chips
8 Lollipop sticks
​
DIRECTIONS

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Skewer each banana half with a lollipop stick and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.
2. In a large microwave-safe measuring cup, melt 1 pound white chocolate in the microwave according to package directions. One at a time, dip the bananas into the chocolate to coat, shaking off any excess. Return to the baking sheet and immediately place two M&M candies near the top for eyes.
3. Melt the remaining white chocolate in the microwave according to package directions and fill a small piping bag fitted with a small, round nozzle tip. Pipe zigzags over the banana to form bandages. Repeat this step with the milk chocolate, if using. Chill or freeze until ready to serve.
