Fabulous At-home Movie Snacks for #QSFF21

What better way of celebrating this year’s festival at home, with fabulous at-home movie snacks! We’ve put together three different levels of popcorn-based treats that you can make from the comfort of your own kitchen!

Level 1 – THE CLASSIC COMBO

It’s been hailed as the “greatest cinema snack of all time” and we have to agree. What better way to satisfy two cravings at once, both SALTY and SWEET in one bite!

What you’ll need:

• Popcorn kernels
• Cooking oil of choice (we like coconut!)
• One bag of Maltesers

Method:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a pot
• Add 1/3 of a cup of kernels and cover with the lid
• Cook for one minute until the popping noises start to slow
• Transfer to a bowl and add the whole bag of Maltesers
• Stir through and select one of dozens of #QSFF21 films to watch!

Bonus: Melt the Maltesers slightly by adding them to the pot just before you transfer your popcorn over to a bowl. Then sit back and enjoy the malty salty goodness!

Level 2 – LET’S PARTY

Ever wondered what unicorns eat? Rainbows, duh! We reckon that this treat is as close as you’ll ever get.

What you’ll need:

• Popped popcorn 
• White chocolate chips
• Rainbow sprinkles
• A pinch of salt

Method

• Melt white chocolate on the stove or in the microwave
• Gently mix the popped popcorn and melted chocolate in a bowl 
• Add the sprinkles and salt and stir through
• Transfer to a tray lined with baking paper and pop it into the fridge to set
• Sit back and relax with a #QSFF21 marathon!

BONUS: Add some fresh strawberries to the mix for a fruity twist!

Level 3 – BOSS STAGE

Who ever said popcorn couldn’t be sophisticated? Treat yourself to this gourmet snack fit for the swankiest of #QSFF21 movie nights.

What you’ll need:

• Popped popcorn (See recipe above!)
• 8 Slices of thinly sliced prosciutto
• Truffle butter (you can also use a mix of truffle oil and standard butter)
• Finely grated parmesan

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
• Line a baking sheet, lay the prosciutto down evenly and bake for 20 minutes until crispy
• Meanwhile, melt the butter either on the stove or microwave
• Transfer the popped popcorn to a bowl, drizzle butter on top and crumble the baked prosciutto on top
• Sprinkle the cheese and toss everything through.
• Finish with a chef’s kiss and enjoy a #QSFF21 drama or romance!

BONUS: Pair with one of our Queer character-inspired beverages. See the recipes here!
