Feel free to remove\/add\/replace dishes so it makes sense for you and your guests. I\u2019ve included an <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGxZBz5rSo\/uT8MmQSiPpFKDVPFwc13HQ\/view?utm_content=DAGxZBz5rSo&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=publishsharelink&amp;mode=preview\">editable menu<\/a><\/span><\/strong> in this guide to make it your own!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Managing Your Time<\/strong>&#8211; These movie nights can take a lot of time to prepare, especially if you plan on doing everything yourself. If you are planning a culinary movie night with a group, I suggest doing a potluck style. Have each person contribute a dish or two, and it\u2019ll be very manageable. If you are planning on preparing everything yourself, here are some things I\u2019ve learned while doing these often:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make A To-Do List<\/strong>&#8211; I can\u2019t stress this enough! It\u2019s very easy to forget simple things like opening a bottle of prosecco before you start the movie so you aren\u2019t fumbling with the seal before serving. I have done this so many times! Your to-do list should include absolutely everything you need to do leading up to pressing play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Start Early<\/strong>&#8211; I learned this after a few very long days of trying to cook, prepare, and host all on the same day. Anything that can be done in advance should be done during the days leading up to the movie night. Some examples include pre-mixing cocktails, making desserts and other foods like soup that hold up well in the refrigerator, and pre-making any handmade decorations. Hosting is stressful enough without having to make a multi-course meal in one day, so get as much done as possible before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Pausing<\/strong>&#8211; The question I get asked the most is \u201cDo you pause the movie to bring out the next dish?\u201d. It\u2019s important to me that I don\u2019t disrupt the flow of the movie, so I do not pause. It\u2019s also important to me to enjoy the movie with my guests. Setting up everything I need before the movie helps me bring out each dish efficiently. The setup usually includes plating each dish and storing it in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is quickly microwave it before serving. I set out any garnish or decoration on my kitchen counter so it\u2019s easily accessible. I even pour the cocktails into their cups and store them in the refrigerator, so all I have to do is add ice and any finishing touches before serving. Always think about how you can do the bare minimum during the film. I always include the setup in my to-do list as well, so I don\u2019t forget about any aspect of the preparation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional<\/strong>&#8211; If your budget permits, I recommend ordering food that you may not be confident in cooking or food that may take a lot of time to cook. I do this occasionally, and it helps cut down the preparation time and supports local businesses. Win Win!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Decorations-<\/strong> Have fun and decorate your space and serving tray! Add elements from the theme of the movie, but make a budget and stick to it! I usually use things I already own because these movie nights are DIY, and I don\u2019t need to spend a fortune to make it fun. If I do buy decorations for the movie night, I try to find cheap or reusable things. If you are curious about some of the things I\u2019ve used during the movie nights, here is a link to my <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/theliterarytart?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_aipsfshop_M6XH77EQPDB8J34W1MMZ&amp;language=en-US\">Amazon List<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. All these items are things I bought with my own money and enjoyed using.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage Stress-<\/strong> Culinary Movie Nights are fun and a great way to show your friends and family you love them. Sometimes, things you envision in your head will not come out perfectly. When this happens to me, it can be discouraging and stressful, but the people I do these for have NEVER expressed anything but appreciation. Go easy on yourself and remember that your guests are just happy to be there and to experience something you put so much thought and time into making.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Menu<\/summary>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I have created a free, editable, and printable menu for all the dishes I served for this Culinary Movie Night!

It does not describe the scene the dish is based on. Some people get confused with that, so I thought I should specify. Because the cues only give you a few minutes to prepare the dish, it&#8217;s <strong>very important<\/strong> to have everything cooked and set up before the film starts. Review the &#8220;<strong>Tips<\/strong>&#8221; section above for ways to make this seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often get asked why I don&#8217;t use time stamps to keep track of when to serve the next dish and the simple answer is, I don&#8217;t find those helpful. If I used timestamps, I would have to have a separate timer going or keep disrupting the movie to check the timestamp. It makes much more sense to have cues to indicate when the next scene is about to happen. This allows me to enjoy watching the film with my guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is the link to the cues I used. This document is editable, so you can make updates if you decide to take out or change dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGyCPB0Dow\/SSdWJmWEzQ-6QNwq-KWU0g\/view?utm_content=DAGyCPB0Dow&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=publishsharelink&amp;mode=preview\">Click Here!<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canva.com\/design\/DAGyCPB0Dow\/SSdWJmWEzQ-6QNwq-KWU0g\/view?utm_content=DAGyCPB0Dow&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_source=publishsharelink&amp;mode=preview\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"479\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cues.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1014\" style=\"width:465px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cues.png 479w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cues-224x300.png 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Recipes<\/summary>\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Emotional Support Cactus<\/summary>\n<p>I wanted to serve a dish that perfectly captures the beginning of the plot. Bella is moving away from Phoenix, Arizona, and is clutching a little cactus to her chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went with homemade cactus tortilla chips and hummus served in a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4mVvo16\">little planter<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to mimic the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tortillas are easy to make. All you&#8217;ll need are <strong>spinach wraps<\/strong>, oil (I used <strong>avocado oil<\/strong>), and some <strong>salt<\/strong> to season. I personally baked these chips, but you can also fry them to get them extra crispy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/41zYxGu\">Cactus Cookie Cutte<\/a>r<\/span><\/strong> to make the cactus-shaped chips from the spinach tortilla wraps. If you do not want to buy the cookie cutter, you can cut them out by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baking Method<\/strong>: Lay out your cacti on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle some oil and sprinkle salt on top. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until the chips start getting brown around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frying Method<\/strong>: Add enough oil to fill a deep pot to about 3 inches. Heat your oil at medium-high heat for about five minutes. You can&#8217;t check if it&#8217;s ready by throwing a little scrap of tortilla into the oil. If it sizzles, it\u2019s ready. If it doesn\u2019t, give the oil another minute and check again. Add your cacti to the oil and let them fry for a few minutes. Make sure they are fully submerged so they fry evenly. You may not be able to fry all of them at once if they won\u2019t all fit fully submerged. Remove your fried cacti from the pot and let them sit on a plate with a paper towel so the excess oil is absorbed. Sprinkle with salt immediately so it sticks to the wet oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving Tip<\/strong>: This is the first dish, so you can make it right before you plan on starting the movie. Fill your <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4mVvo16\">planters<\/a><\/span><\/strong> with hummus. I just bought hummus from the store to save time. The planters have little holes for water drainage, so make sure to use the little plates that come with the planters. Then stick your freshly made cactus chips in the hummus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> I don\u2019t like to waste food, so I saved the scraps to make crispy tortilla chips for salads. Just chop the scraps up thin, drizzle some olive oil and seasonings, mix, and bake until crispy. They make delicious toppers for salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"996\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120219-996x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1016\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120219-996x1024.png 996w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120219-292x300.png 292w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120219-768x789.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120219.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Bella Le Pew<\/summary>\n<p>Edward\u2019s face is so funny to me in this scene because he legitimately looks like he just smelled a stink bomb when Bella walks into class. I knew I had to serve something related to being stinky, and the Alaskan Duck Fart (yes, that\u2019s a real drink) always makes me laugh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Edward.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1028\" style=\"width:313px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Edward.png 783w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Edward-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Edward-768x640.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the recipe I used for the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chowhound.com\/recipes\/duck-fart-13717\/\">Alaskan Duck Fart<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made sure to leave more time than usual in the cues because you will have to pour the shots fresh so the layers are created. There are supposed to be three layers, but mine didn\u2019t come out perfect. That\u2019s okay, though, because they still tasted great! I also made a cocktail version of the shot, which has the same ingredients as the shot but tripled and mixed. You can just serve the shot, but if you want to also give your guests something to sip on, the cocktail version is a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"939\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120234-1024x939.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1017\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120234-1024x939.png 1024w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120234-300x275.png 300w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120234-768x704.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120234.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Ketchup.<\/summary>\n<p>Fans know about the ketchup\u2026 or the lack of ketchup LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To save time, I used frozen sliders from the store. Specifically, White Castle. I chose these because they are small. When we\u2019re eating so much food, I like to serve smaller portions to make it easier to consume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrap the sliders in parchment paper and then aluminum foil. I kept them like this on my stove top. Then, right after I served the hummus and chips, I put the wrapped-up sliders in the oven at 350 degrees F. They\u2019ll cook while you serve the Alaskan Duck Farts and then you can take them out when it\u2019s time to serve the burgers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I added the lettuce and sliced tomato to complete the burgers before serving. Make sure to have the vegetables washed and sliced before you start the movie. I stored them in the refrigerator, wrapped in paper towels, so they stayed fresh until the scene. The paper towels also keep them from getting soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget to serve it with a bottle of ketchup! LMAO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"886\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120245-886x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1018\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120245-886x1024.png 886w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120245-260x300.png 260w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120245-768x888.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120245.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 886px) 100vw, 886px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Adrenaline Rush<\/summary>\n<p>The name of this cocktail, Bone Crusher, pretty much explains the scene. I served them with <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4peRNYL\">Skeleton Cocktail Stirrers<\/a><\/span><\/strong> because I imagine that\u2019s what Edward\u2019s Hand feels like. LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the recipe I used for <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mixthatdrink.com\/bone-crusher\/#mv-creation-391-jtr\">The Bone Crusher Cocktail<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. And FYI, it\u2019s called a bone crusher because of all the different liquors used so be careful and drink responsibly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving tips:<\/strong> I recommend premixing the cocktail, minus the champagne\/prosecco. This will save you time when you need to serve the drink. When you get the drink ready to serve, you just have to add ice to your glass, evenly pour the premix, and add the champagne\/prosecco on top. To save time, I recommend having the seal of the prosecco bottle removed too, so you don\u2019t have to waste time with that when serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"998\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120301-998x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1019\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120301-998x1024.png 998w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120301-292x300.png 292w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120301-768x788.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120301.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 998px) 100vw, 998px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Look! It&#8217;s A Worm!<\/summary>\n<p>Not a food scene, but I think this line delivery is so underrated and funny, so I wanted to include it in movie night. Salchipapa is one of our favorite late-night drinking foods too, so I thought it would be perfect to serve after all that drinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a Latin American dish consisting of French fries and pan-fried beef hot dog. I also served it with, a Colombian cheese, salsa rosada, and garlic sauce. This is how we usually get it from Colombian food trucks in Miami, so I wanted to stay true to the version I\u2019m used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@eatwithalyssa\/video\/7178193099641064750?lang=en\">Here is a video link<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to a good reference that shows you how to make the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some differences between mine are that I used frozen fries to save time, but you can make your own if you want. I also sliced the beef long and thin to make it look like worms. I was so pleased with how it turned out! They looked a little too real! LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving Tips<\/strong>: I made this dish and plated it earlier in the day as I was prepping for Movie Night. I stored it in the refrigerator until it was time to serve. I suggest that you reheat this dish in the oven. Fries taste better reheated that way. Keep the oven preheated from when you cooked the burger. I recommend putting the salchipapa in an oven-safe dish so you can pop it in the oven while Bella is at the hospital. That way, it has time to heat up before the next scene. Don\u2019t keep it in the oven for longer than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"948\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120313-948x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1020\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120313-948x1024.png 948w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120313-278x300.png 278w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120313-768x830.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120313.png 1079w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Bella\u2019s Mushroom Ravioli<\/summary>\n<p>This dish is pretty straightforward. Bella orders a mushroom raviolo after Edward saves her and takes her to dinner. To save time, I bought a frozen mushroom ravioli package from Trader Joe&#8217;s. It came with sauce, so all I added was a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve seen other grocery stores like Walmart with ravioli in the frozen section too, so if you don\u2019t have a Trader Joe\u2019s near you, that\u2019s an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving Tips: <\/strong>I made the ravioli per the cooking instructions on the bag and then plated them and stored them in the refrigerator until I was ready to serve. When it\u2019s time to serve, microwave the ravioli to reheat and sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120326-970x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120326-970x1024.png 970w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120326-284x300.png 284w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120326-768x811.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120326.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>The Skin of a Killer<\/summary>\n<p>For this scene, it\u2019s mandatory to serve something glittery! I went with glittery prosecco since I just served two food dishes. You could make it even funnier if you printed out a picture of Edwards&#8217; head and taped it to the top of the glass. LOL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving Tips<\/strong>: To save time, I recommend setting out your prosecco glasses on your counter, so they are easily accessible. Also, sprinkle some Edible Glitter in each glass. You\u2019ll just need a dash. I also recommend you remove the seal on the bottle of prosecco before you start the movie. This helps save time when you have to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120344-891x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1022\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120344-891x1024.png 891w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120344-261x300.png 261w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120344-768x882.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120344.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Bella\u2019s Italiano<\/summary>\n<p>For this scene, the Cullens are making Bella Italian food because her name is Bella HAHA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looked to me like they were making Carbonara and some sort of salad so I served Ceaser Salad and Carbonara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cooking.nytimes.com\/recipes\/12965-spaghetti-carbonara\">Carbonara recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong> I used.

Crackle! Pop!<\/summary>\n<p>I made Bella Krispies! And she looks BUSTED! LOL! But I think it makes it even funnier HAHA!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can save time by using already made Rice Crispy Treats and then you can decorate them. I made mine at home because the process is easy and fresh Rice Krispie treats are just far superior in my opinion! Here is the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onceuponachef.com\/recipes\/best-ever-rice-krispies-treats.html\">Rice Krispie Treat Recipe<\/a><\/span><\/strong> I used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the hair, I melted chocolate chips and dipped the Rice Krispies. I also put melted chocolate dots for her eyes and placed chocolate chips on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To melt the chocolate chips, add 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tbsp of coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir well. Then, microwave for 15 seconds, stir and repeat with another 15 seconds. Keep microwaving and stirring in 15 second increments until the chocolate is melted. It\u2019s important not to overheat chocolate. Chocolate has a high sugar content, which makes in burn fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the chocolate is melted, and you dip your Rice Krispies to create the hair and eyes, you can place the treats on a parchment lined baking sheet. I drew the red lips using a frosting tube that you can buy in the baking section at the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Refrigerate your Rice Crispy Treats for about 10 minutes. Just enough to harden the chocolate, and then you can plate the Bella Krispies. I also added bone arms to the dish to tie in the Snap, Crackle, &amp; Pop part of the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"961\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120412-961x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1024\" style=\"width:545px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120412-961x1024.png 961w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120412-281x300.png 281w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120412-768x818.png 768w, https:\/\/theliterarytart.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot_20250904-120412.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 961px) 100vw, 961px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Edward\u2019s Personal Brand<\/summary>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thecrumbykitchen.com\/vampires-kiss-cocktail\/\">Vampire\u2019s Kiss Cocktail<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thecrumbykitchen.com\/vampires-kiss-cocktail\/\">recipe I used<\/a><\/span><\/strong> for this cocktail.
