Tips For Hosting The Perfect Girls’ Movie Night + An Easy Party Mix Recipe

Tips For Hosting The Perfect Girls’ Movie Night In PartyBig thank you to Universal Pictures Home Entertainment for sponsoring this post! 

So I’m a shameless Pitch Perfect 3 fan. It’s just one of those feel good funny movies that I can watch over and over again and still crack up every time. Whenever I see that the first or second film is replaying on TV best believe I’m stopping to watch (for the 1000+ time…) I remember playing and singing along to the “Cups” song (pretty terribly might I add) on repeat in my car during my senior year in college for months after the first movie hit theaters. Such good times!!!

Obviously, no girls’ night in is complete without the right snacks and drinks. I’m all for channeling my inner Fat Amy so here’s a super easy no-bake sweet and salty party mix recipe that reminds me of one of the film’s more famous lines: CRUSHED IT. True story my mom actually used to make a variation of this for me all the time when I was younger. If I opened my lunchbox and found a zip lock bag of this mix I knew it was going to be an awesome afternoon. Once you have a bite you can’t stop! It’s that good. Tip: pair the mix with Orange Crush soda to really “crush” your hostess duties 😛
