So what’s a girl to do when her life has changed and the person she used to have movie time with can no longer really be a part of that movie time?
She makes HER OWN movie time! I’ve really been trying to reach out to my friends a lot more and my mother is my rock. Without her and my girl friends I don’t know where I would be right now. So, it only seems natural that a foodie like me treat my girls to a movie night in.

Head on Over to Walmart for Movie Night In Supplies
We can’t have a girls night movie party without snacks and drinks. Walmart makes it super easy for me to get everything I need. First stop, the beverage aisle where I grab some Coke Zero and Diet Coke. We turn down the next isle where we are greeted with popcorn. What’s a movie night without popcorn? #wecanthavethat
I love the Orville Redenbacher Movie Theater Popcorn. There is something to be said for a bag that doubles as a popcorn bowl; ammIright?
Once my cart was full of goodies I picked up some of these MARS Milk Chocolate and Peanut M&M’S® Chocolate Candies in these fun 3.5oz canisters. The perfect fun snack size for movie night.
And let’s not forget the movie; Joe Dirt 2. I am super excited to see this movie because I know it is going to bring me some much-needed laughs.

I couldn’t put this party together without a little help from some fellow bloggers. While there are a lot of things I can do, trying to create fun printables like these is not my specialty. But that’s ok, it gives me a chance to appreciate and share other bloggers work.

Our fun girls night in watching Joe Dirt 2 wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t allow my guests to dig in the dirt, right?
So here we have some simple chocolate pudding with crushed cookies to make the dirt topping.
Add some MARS Milk Chocolate and Peanut M&M’S® Chocolate Candies and you have rocks and boulders.
Rocks and Dirt Pudding Cups
Ingredients
- 4 - 6 chocolate pudding cups you can also make your own pudding and place them in small dishes
- 8 chocolate cream center cookies crushed
- M&M’S® Chocolate Candies in Regular and Peanut these are your rocks and boulders
Instructions
- If using homemade pudding, prepare according to directions and chill.
- Place the cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into pieces. This will be your dirt.
- Place dirt on the top of the pudding.
- Add peanut M&M’S® Chocolate Candies for boulders.
- Add plain M&M’S® Chocolate Candies for rocks.
- Dig in.
Our next movie snack is those awesome Orville Redenbacher Movie Theater Popcorn packs. Not everyone wants to eat a whole bag of popcorn, so for those who don’t, I made some fun little popcorn cups. The ‘dirt’ from the pudding also doubles as a popcorn mix-in along with some nuts, or even some MARS Milk Chocolate and Peanut M&M’S® Chocolate Candies.
The popcorn cups were a hit!

I loved Joe Dirt and couldn’t wait for a second one. I thought it was only being released online, I had no idea I could buy it right now. I am so doing that! Life’s a garden…dig it!
What a fun idea. The pudding snack idea wull be a win win for my kids. W haven’t seen this movie yet,.
Great ideas for a movie night! I love the popcorn with peanut M&Ms! I try to stay away from soda at this time because of some health issues. I’d make a smoothie instead.
I love movie nights and this sounds like a super fun night. The snacks look awesome.
We love our family movie nights and of course, a movie night is not complete without those munchies. 🙂 We haven’t seen that movie yet though. Looks like a fun one!
Movie nights are so fun! I love your set up! It’s looks really fun.

What a cute idea! I didn’t even know there was a Joe Dirt 2, but the snacks go perfectly with the movie and look delicious! Hope you enjoyed the night (and the movie)!
Oh that’s hilarious! I wish my friends had the humor to watch Joe Dirt 2. I really loved it!
Cute party idea and so my speed. I’m looking forward to hosting movie night when we buy a bigger home.
I absolutely love girls night out! I have a group of ladies that I hang out with and this is totally something we could do!
I sure do love movie night and it looks like you’re was awesome. I’m kind of a Joe Dirt fan so I can’t wait til I have a chance to sit down and watch Joe Dirt 2!
Popcorn is a must for movie night, which I usually have with my sweetie. I have never had a girls night out with movies, and I didn’t know there was a Joe Dirt 2 that came out.
We have movie night every week! Nothing like grubbing on your favorite snacks and having a good laugh with the people you love!
