As a self-proclaimed cinephile and candy connoisseur, I’ve spent countless hours immersed in the magical worlds of both movies and sweets. So when SmartSweets sent me a box full of their delightful treats, I knew it was my duty to pair these sugar-coated delights with some silver-screen masterpieces.
If you’re not familiar with SmartSweets, it might mean you’ve been out of the loop. But if you are, chances are you’ve tasted them or indulged in them during a movie or TV program.
In the summer of 2024, the movie scene has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! It’s impossible to fully enjoy a film without a tasty treat nearby. Fortunately, SmartSweets graciously provided us with samples of their various treats for our tasting pleasure.
After sampling various options from the brand, I aimed to create an exceptional treat. Given the assortment of flavors, I thought it would be fun to match them with different film genres. So, prepare yourself for a delightful snack during your upcoming movie night, and you’ll be ready before the opening credits roll.
After mentioning it, I’d like to express my gratitude to SmartSweets for providing me with some of their sweets to taste. Now, let’s delve into discovering the ideal SmartSweets candies that complement different films.
These SmartSweets treats are great picks for movie watching.
Sweet Fish: Pair with a comedy
Kicking things off with an old favorite, I chose to start my gaming session with Sweet Fish. They may not resemble other brands, but their one-of-a-kind flavor sets them apart. It might not appeal to everyone’s taste buds, but for me, it’s perfect for unwinding while watching a good comedy.
At the cinemas, consider watching movies such as “Despicable Me 4” or “The Fabulous Four” if you’re going out with your SmartSweets. Alternatively, if you prefer to stay home, you could stream “Hit Man,” featuring Glen Powell, Hollywood’s current heartthrob, or opt for a timeless favorite like “Dumb and Dumber.”
Sourmelon Bites: Pair with a mystery
Switching gears to some tangy treats, SmartSweets offers Sourmelon Bites. These snacks offer a mix of sweet and sour flavors, much like our feelings when watching a mystery movie – it keeps you on your toes because it changes directions unexpectedly. However, unlike an unpredictable mystery, the Sourmelon Bites are consistent in their delicious taste, offering just the right balance of sweetness and tartness without being overpowering.
Here are two mysteries that are currently circulating or soon to be released – “Trap” and “Cuckoo”. While they can also be categorized as horror, for the purpose of this list, we’re classifying them as mysteries. For those who prefer staying indoors, I recommend checking out “A Simple Favor” on Netflix or “Deep Water” on Hulu. Regardless of your choice, you’ll experience the unique blend of apprehension and exhilaration that only a mystery can offer.
Peach Rings: Pair with an action flick
Switching topics to Peach Rings, a treat that seems universally adored: SmartSweets have given it their unique twist. Admittedly, I only managed to savor one, as my partner devoured the rest. Regardless, based on my experience, these would make an excellent choice for an action flick. They’re timeless and embody the essence we anticipate in an action movie – a quality most of us seek when settling into one.
Currently, a number of action films are playing in theaters, with Deadpool and Wolverine, as well as Twisters, being the most popular releases at the moment. For those preferring to stay indoors, you can find previous installments of Deadpool on Disney+ or even stream the original Twister, which is now available on Max.
Sour Blast Buddies: Pair with a horror
Among the SmartSweets lineup that I’ve tasted, Sour Blast Buddies stands out as my top choice, as I ended up consuming the entire bag myself. The blend of sour and sweet flavors is simply exceptional and harmonious. Given that some individuals have a strong preference for or against sourness, for another sour treat recommendation, I paired it with a horror movie.
Besides savoring these treats as you watch, it’s likely you won’t even notice they’ve disappeared due to being so terrified. At this moment, you can go catch either Longlegs or A Quiet Place: Day One in theaters. For those preferring horror movies at home, the initial two installments of the A Quiet Place series are available on Paramount+. Given that some have drawn parallels between Longlegs and The Silence of the Lambs, you can stream the latter on MGM+.
Pink Lemonade Dream: Pair with a rom-com
Switching to the ultimate dessert choice, I saved one of my favorites for the finale – Pink Lemonade Dream. These treats have a delightful sweetness balanced with a hint of tanginess, making them an ideal summer choice. Given Barbie’s preference, I felt compelled to pick something she would adore. Additionally, these are items I have tasted and purchased before, so I was confident they were top-notch picks.
As a devoted movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of cinema, I must admit that the current lineup of romantic comedies is truly irresistible. With Pink Lemonade Dream’s sweet and tangy title, it seems like it’s practically begging for a love-filled story. In the realm of big screen entertainment, The Fabulous Four catches my eye with its vibrant colors and playful charm that would surely make for an enjoyable night out.
As a long-time movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours curled up with a bag of treats and my favorite flick, I can confidently say that there’s nothing quite like the joy of choosing the perfect snack to complement your movie experience. Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet from SmartSweets or prefer a more savory option, the variety is endless and will surely enhance your movie night. Regardless of your final decision, one thing is certain – you’re guaranteed a fun-filled evening with a great film!
