Onward Watch Party

in ,

Good morrow, adventurers! If like us you were unable to see Pixar’s newest film Onward in theaters, you’re in luck! Disney is releasing the film tomorrow, April 3 on Disney+ for all of us to enjoy. In order to make your evening more magical, we’ve come up with a menu to help fuel you for this great adventure. NOTE: We cannot encourage anyone to take an unnecessary trip to the grocery store at this time, though you can always add these ideas to your list for the next time you leave quarantine. If you want to throw a watch party, use the below suggestions with what’s already in your pantry!

If you’d like to easily recreate several of the food eaten in the film, here is a list that would do Ian Lightfoot proud:

  • Pigs in a Blanket

  • Funfetti Birthday Cupcakes (or any cupcake but let’s be real…Funfetti is best)

  • Cheeto Puffs

  • Manticore’s Tavern Mozzarella Sticks

  • Pixy Sticks

However, if you’re looking to be a bit more adventurous, here are some recipes inspired by the film (minor spoiler warnings):

  • Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rod Wizard Staffs. Here is an easy recipe from Nestle; I would suggest topping with a red sprinkle to mimic the Phoenix Gem used to power the staff.

  • Manticore Fiery Meatballs (grab some frozen meatballs and cook them in a crockpot for a few hours with your favorite buffalo sauce. Our favorite local sauce is Syberg’s Sauce)

  • Gelatinous Cube Jello Squares (Here’s the classic recipe from Jell-o)

  • Quest of Yore-o Balls. Oreo Balls are so delicious and use minimal ingredients! Here’s a quick and easy recipe you can follow

  • Bottomless Pit Queso. This one’s easy. Just get as much melted cheese as you can possibly imagine and pair it with your favorite chips. Trust in yourself, and you’ll survive this treacherous dish.

  • Curse Crush(er) Soda—What better way to wash down all of this delicious food than with this classic soft drink!
