Date nights do not always have to be extravagant! What counts most is spending quality time with your significant other – and, of course, having some yummy snacks nearby. Whether you’re planning a cozy indoor picnic, spending an evening playing games or a Netflix movie marathon snuggled up on the couch, these 5 simple yet mouthwatering date night snacks will turn your couple time even more special:
Chocolate Covered Strawberries
The first date night snack idea is nothing other than chocolate covered strawberries. Nothing sets the mood quite like chocolate covered strawberries. Simply melt some chocolate chips in a bowl, dip the strawberries in the chocolate, and let them cool on a sheet of wax paper. You can even decorate them with sprinkles or chopped nuts for an extra special touch. Don’t like strawberries? Try dipping apples or pineapples instead!
Charcuterie Board
Set out a variety of cheeses, crackers, grapes, and nuts on a board or platter for an easy and elegant snack option. Add some sliced cured meats like salami or prosciutto for an extra protein boost.
Wonton Nachos
These crispy and flavorful nachos put a fun twist on a classic favorite. Start by preheating the oven and arranging wonton wrappers on a baking sheet. Bake them until golden and crisp. While the wontons are baking, prepare your favorite nacho toppings such as seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, and shredded cheese. Once the wontons are ready, layer them on a serving platter and top with your desired toppings. Place the platter back into the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese. You can also add a drizzle of sour cream or a sprinkle of chopped shadon beni for extra flavor.
Cheese Fondue
Fondue is perfect for dipping and sharing, and is sure to be a favorite. Start by grating your favorite cheese like Swiss or Gruyere, and add a splash of white wine and a touch of garlic. In a fondue pot or a saucepan, heat the cheese mixture over low heat until melted and smooth. To dip in the cheese, consider grabbing a baguette or some vegetables like carrots, celery, and broccoli florets. You can even add some cured meats like salami or prosciutto for an extra savory touch
Popcorn
And of course, no movie night would be complete without the classic snack of popcorn. If you want to take your popcorn game up a notch, try this sweet and salty option. Melt some dark chocolate chips in a bowl and drizzle it over a bowl of freshly popped popcorn. Add a sprinkle of coarse sea salt and a drizzle of store-bought caramel sauce for the ultimate snack.
A Romantic Date Night
To complete the ambiance of your romantic movie night, consider setting up a cozy indoor picnic. Spread out a blanket on the floor, light some candles or string lights, and add some throw pillows for extra comfort. You can even set the mood with a romantic playlist or a bottle of wine and some games to play after. No matter which snack you choose, your cozy indoor picnic and romantic movie date night at home is sure to be a hit with these delicious options. Happy snacking!
