Put together all your favorite popcorn flavors in a Popcorn Bar for a quick and easy party idea. It’s a fun addition to any party.

bowls of popcorn

One of my favorite ways to host a party of teenagers is with a Popcorn Bar. We filled big bowls with different flavors of popcorn and added some candy for mixing into the popcorn. We set up a projector and screen in the backyard with a movie and they were set! Popcorn and a movie is a perfect combo.

How Much Popcorn Do I Need?

The amount will vary depending on what other food you are serving at the party. Plan on 2 -3 cups of popcorn per person

Tips for Putting Together A Popcorn Bar

Variety of popcorn. Be sure to have a variety of flavors of popcorn including both sweet and savory.

Sweet Popcorn

  • Kettle Corn
  • Caramel Corn

Savory Popcorn

  • Buttery Movie Popcorn
  • Cheddar Cheese Popcorn
  • White Cheddar Popcorn.

Serving Containers. Provide bowls or bags for each person to put together their own popcorn and candy combo. I found some paper popcorn boxes at the Dollar Store.

Popcorn Bar Topping Ideas

Of course we had to have candy to go with the popcorn.  What would a movie be without popcorn and candy?!?!

  • Milk Duds
  • M & M’s
  • Licorice
  • Whoppers
  • Mike & Ikes
  • Swedish Fish
  • Sugar Babies

And then to wash everything down there was root beer.  Served out of a fun vintage Pepsi crate!  I added a few white daises into the old, empty pepsi/coke bottles.
