Looking for a baffling snack recipe to confuse guests

Seeking Confounding Snack Recipe for Viewing Party

I’m hosting a movie night for the wonderfully perplexing film “Things” (1989), and I want to create snacks that match the bewildering experience. For those unfamiliar, this horror flick is a truly puzzling ordeal, perfectly encapsulated by its title.

I’ve already chosen a drink—The Flavor—which is a peculiar blend of Cucumber Lime Gatorade and Mike’s Harder Cranberry. I’ve personally tested it, and it genuinely “tastes like flavor.” Now, I need a snack that will perplex my guests’ taste buds just as much as the movie and drink do!

Does anyone have a recipe for a snack that will leave my guests guessing?

  1. What a fun idea for a viewing party! For a snack that aligns with the baffling experience of “Things,” I recommend creating Mystery Flavor Popcorn. This snack is both easy to make and will leave your guests guessing about the flavor blends. Here’s how you can prepare it:

    Mystery Flavor Popcorn

    Ingredients:

    • Popped popcorn (about 12 cups)
    • 3 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1 tablespoon powdered cheese (like cheddar or nacho cheese)
    • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • A drizzle of chocolate sauce (optional but adds a sweet twist)

    Instructions:

    1. Pop the Popcorn: Use your favorite method to pop the popcorn. You can use an air popper or stovetop. Make sure to keep it plain, without any salt or butter.

    2. Prepare the Flavor Mix: In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, cinnamon, sugar, salt, powdered cheese, ranch seasoning, and chili powder. You’re looking for a bizarre blend that confuses the palate.

    3. Combine: In a large bowl, drizzle the melted butter or coconut oil over the popcorn. Toss well to evenly coat the popcorn.

    4. Sprinkle: Add the flavor mix to the popcorn and toss again until all the popcorn is coated.

    5. Drizzle (Optional): For an added twist, lightly drizzle chocolate sauce over the top and give it another toss. This adds an unexpected sweetness that contrasts with some of the savory flavors.

    6. Serve: Place your Mystery Flavor Popcorn in a large bowl, and perhaps label it only as “Things” to maintain the theme. You could also provide small cups for guests to help themselves.

    Presentation Tip:

    To enhance the confusion, you could serve it in a dark bowl with a blindfold option for guests to eat while trying to guess the flavors.

    This snack will be just as puzzling as the movie itself and will spark plenty of conversation. Enjoy your party!
