We have the best recommendations for sweet treats, salty munchies, and hearty snacks to meet any craving that comes your way.

Sweet Treats - Fruit Kabobs

When we think of sweet treats, our minds normally drift off with thoughts of brownies or cupcakes. However, health conscious people can still enjoy incredible tasting sweets while they snack. Fruit kabobs are the perfect way to savor something sweet while watching the Oscars. All you’ll need is fresh fruit of your choosing, skewers, low-fat sour cream, brown sugar, and lime juice. Mix one cup of low-fat sour cream and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Add a hint of lime juice and you have a delicious and nutritious snack to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Salty Munchies - Sesame Potato Chips

Sesame potato chips are a new twist on an old favorite. You can’t go wrong by making a salty munchie! The best part is that it’s delightfully easy to make this snack. All you need are potatoes, olive oil, salt, and sesame seeds. Cut the potatoes as thin as you can. Drizzle olive oil, salt, and sesame seeds on top and bake them for 10 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hearty Snacks - Bean Roll-Ups

Bean Roll-Ups are the perfect example of a hearty, yet simple snack. All you’ll need to prepare this snack is tortillas, bean dip, shredded cheddar cheese, and vegetable oil. Put the bean dip and cheddar cheese inside of the tortilla shells and roll them up. When you’re finished, coat the outside of the shells with the oil and bake them in the oven for 10 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. After they’re done cooking, you can top them off with your choice of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa!

The best part of award shows is getting together with friends and family and enjoying the show with some tasty snacks. Don’t put too much effort into your snacks this year.
