Win the snack award with our favorite recipes for watching the Academy Awards.
Award shows give us a reason to don our pajamas, put up our feet, and snack the night away as the glittery famous are stuck in the same seat for 4 hours. Though we’re not up for a statue, I think we’ve got the better end of the deal.
After all, with all the nibbles we will have on hand, it’s hard to be jealous. We’ve put together a collection of our favorite award-worthy snacks to help you power through the pre-red carpet, the red carpet, the actual show, and all the Twitter action. Print out your Oscar bingo sheet and get snacking!
