Sometimes you just have to step back and realize you deserve a cupcake and movie night. For us, that time came in the middle of last week. Between our jobs and planning our wedding from a different state, Chris and I haven’t had much free time lately and just needed a break. It felt so good to put everything aside and take time for ourselves. I know I preach this around here, but seriously, take time for yourself if you don’t already! It’s totally worth it, and if you want to take full advantage, make a cupcake bar, even if it’s just for you to enjoy. I won’t judge!
I setup a cupcake bar to go along with our movie night and kept it fairly simple with a variety of toppings for the cupcakes. I like chocolate and nutty toppings, and Chris prefers sweet candy, so I think we had the perfect variety of toppings although it was only a few.
WHAT WE USED:
Chocolate cupcakes
Vanilla cupcakes
Pecans
White chocolate chips
Swedish Fish
Milk chocolate
Chris loves Swedish Fish, so I scooped up a huge 1.9lb bag to use on the cupcake bar and for snacking during our movie. It has new packaging (new look, same fish), and I almost overlooked it! I’m glad I didn’t since the red variety (his favorite) happened to be on rollback at Walmart for $4.48!We made sure to take full advantage of the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan that I talked about here. In addition to unlimited to talk, text, and data (which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE) per line for $49.88 (what a steal!), you also get a free new release rental movie on VUDU ($7 value) every month! The timing for this one couldn’t have been any better for us to use our Chromecast to watch a new movie! Speaking of the Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan, the extra data used for streaming music on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime is a nice little bonus to have too! I snagged the phone for $129 while it was on rollback from $149. Not too shabby! If you’re on the hunt for a new plan, now is the time to get connected since the starter kit will be on rollback to $19.88 from $25 for the first time ever until July 7. It’s a great way to save on setting up your service! You can visit the Walmart Family Mobile Social Hub to find out when an associate will be in store with more information, and they will have Swedish Fish samples on hand!
We’ll definitely be doing movie nights more often! There’s only one problem though- I never know what to watch, so send me your suggestions for our next one please!

I love cupcake bars! We usually just stream our movies via Netflix or our cable on demand but the cupcake bar is fabulous!

We love movie nights! A cupcake bar would make it so much better too. I love Walmart’s low price point for unlimited plans & really great to get a movie too. ha, ha last time we were at Walmart we picked up one of those big packs of sour patch kids since we have teens in the house!
Rachel says
Movie nights are the best! The cupcake bar is such a great idea but I’d need to hide them from myself or I’d keep eating them 🙂 haha

This is such a good idea for a night in together, or for a night with friends!
Cupcakes are so yummy, and being able to customize them with whatever toppings you want is even better 🙂
Jenn says
Cupcake bars are the best. I find that so much easier then a big cake. You can serve different flavors and have people add the topping they want. It so customize-able. Thanks for sharing.
