Favorite Dinosaur Themed Food

I recently posted a super fun blog post all about how to style and stage a dinosaur birthday party like a professional planner/designer. Click here if you’d like to take a peek at the post.

My passion lies in assisting others in designing parties that not only exude beauty with their intricate details, but also guarantee a super fun time for all guests, ensuring that each person feels genuinely cherished. I deeply believe that extending invitations to our homes for celebrations is both a privilege and a heartfelt honor. 🤍

Jumping back to the topic of food 😜, inspired by my previous dinosaur party post, I thought sharing an exciting dinosaur-themed food recipe would seamlessly lead to another roar-inducing blog concept. Thus, I present the premiere of this delightful prehistoric dinosaur popcorn recipe. 🍿 After all, who doesn’t love popcorn, right?

It turned out AMAZING! My kids, their friends, and neighbors who sampled it, thought it was delicious.

Dinosaur Snack Mix Notes and Tips

• While Cadbury and Whoppers eggs are fantastic options, they’re typically limited to Easter. If making dinosaur popcorn outside the Easter season, you can shop for them on Amazon, omit them altogether, or DIY using regular Whoppers and colored chocolate drizzle.
• You can also used blue and green chocolate disks, melted, and drizzled over top for added color.
• Enhance your dinosaur popcorn mix with various decorative treats like dinosaur gummies, chocolate-covered espresso beans, assorted sprinkles, pretzels, mini Oreos, or any other delightful snacks of your choice.
• I opt for homemade popcorn coated in white chocolate for ingredient control. However, for convenience or when in a time crunch, Skinny Pop or caramel popcorn make great alternatives.
• You can package this delicious popcorn mix in party favor bags for a delightful take-home gift; enhance the presentation with a fun printable for each cellophane bag, as shown in the pictures.
