10 Sparkly Foods for Your Oscars Viewing Party

You’ve made your ballot, sent out the invites and caught up on all the best movies of 2015, so now all that’s left for your Oscars viewing party is your menu. This year you’re readying your usual slow cooker appetizers (so easy!) and even got creative with some Oscars-shaped cookies, but there’s still something missing. And you think you might know exactly what it is. Buy a bottle of bubbly to toast your favorite actors and actresses, then grab the edible glitter — these snacks are as sparkly as the Oscar statues themselves. Prepare your speech, because you’re about to win Hostess of the Year.
