Harry Potter Snacks
We are in the process of planning our first family trip to Universal Orlando and we decided to do a Harry Potter watch party. With our move to healthier eating, I wanted to do something with a healthier side. Normally our movie days include all the junk food the store sells. This time though, we’re working on making it healthy while still having fun. Check out some of the healthy Harry Potter snacks we made for our family movie night.

Now, these are dairy-free and gluten-free options. The desserts are AIP. However, the popcorn is not unless you have reintroduced corn. I hope that these will make a great treat for your kids that you can feel good about. All produce was purchased at Aldi as I prefer their prices.
Hogwarts House Color Fruit Kabobs
Ingredients
Blueberries
Pineapple – You can slice a full one or you can use canned pineapple. It just depends on the time on your hands.
Strawberries
Green Grapes
Kiwi – This has a bit of a bite but my kids love kiwi
Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips – These are the only brand of allergy-friendly chocolate chips I have found that I actually enjoy. The price is a little higher but sometimes there are coupons on the bag.
Coconut Oil – I prefer the version I pick up at Aldis. It’s of great quality at a reasonable price!
Small kabob sticks (We used Lollipop sticks.)
Making your fruit kabobs
Wash all fruit before you begin. – This will save you time in the long run. You won’t have to clean it at each step. This also ensures that all fruit is safe to consume and won’t accidentally make children sick. With all the current produce-related sicknesses, this is a smart measure.
Start by doing the blueberries. I recommend looking for the little circle on the top and putting your stick thru there.
Set these aside on wax paper or foil.
Slice your pineapple and strawberries. – You can go as thick or as thin as you want with these. I preferred to go a bit thinner as I knew I would be drizzling chocolate on them at a later time.
Make sure to slice extra pineapple for your Hufflepuff kabobs. – The kabobs will be only pineapple so you want to make sure that you slice plenty. You could also do pineapple rings for these as that would be really neat!
This is your Gryffindor kabob. – Because of this you will put them on in order of red, yellow, red, yellow, and so on. It shouldn’t be hard to get the fruit to go on the stick.
Add only the pineapple to a kabob for Hufflepuff. – You can make the pineapple pieces whatever size you prefer.
Set these aside on wax paper or foil. – This is a great way to avoid it sticking to anything.
Peel and slice kiwi. – You can slice these any way you want. I went with triangles.
Slice your grapes. – You can put them on whole. If you have smaller children attending, slicing them up can be safer.
Add them to your kabobs. – For mine, I did a pattern of grapes and kiwi. You could do these any way you like.
Set these aside on wax paper or foil.
Set up your double boiler. – You can use two pots as well. Fill the bottom pot with water about 3/4 full. Set your second pot in the first.
Add a teaspoon of coconut to your top pot and let it melt.
Add 1/2 of your chocolate chips to the container. – You can use more if you have a larger group to cook for. We didn’t have as many people so this was sufficient and I had enough leftover to make chocolate covered strawberries.
Stir continuously over medium heat until melted. – I find that a wooden spoon gets the best coverage for stirring. However, you can use what you have on hand. Don’t go buy a wooden spoon just for this recipe.
Drizzle your fruit kabobs with melted chocolate. – For Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, this offers darker colors to complete the house colors. I find that using a spoon to drizzle it is the perfect option.
Butterbeer Popcorn
Popping Corn
Coconut Butter – We like the Nutiva Coconut Butter pictured above. (Don’t have allergies to dairy? You can use traditional butter.)
Rum Extract *The one pictured does have corn oil in it but my kids have introduced corn safely.
Making your butterbeer popcorn
Start by adding 2 tablespoons of coconut oil to the pan and turn to medium heat.
Once the oil is melted, add your popping corn to the pot and put on a lid.
Let pop until you hear more than 3 seconds between each pop. – This will tell you the popcorn is finished.
In a separate pot, melt down 3 tablespoons of coconut butter.
Add 1 tablespoon of rum extract.
Stir until melted.
Pour over your popcorn for a delicious butterbeer popcorn!
Serve and enjoy!
This treat is dairy-free, gluten-free, and free of most allergens. It’s sure to be a hit at your family movie night or for a Harry Potter birthday party.
