Easy-to-make, easy-to-eat, relatively mess- and fuss-free snacks that will enhance your TV-show-viewing/home cinema experience. That's a lot of hyphens.
Pita bread pizzas – aka open, crunchy wrap

1: Make popcorn (pop your own kernels or get the microwave packet stuff, just make sure it's plain. Buying pre-flavoured popcorn is CHEATING).
2: Flavour with your choice of melted butter, sea salt, melted chocolate, caramel sauce, icing sugar, cinnamon sugar, garlic powder, paprika, parmesan cheese, sesame seeds and nori, wasabi powder (not all at the same time though).
Choc tops – more fun to hold than just stuff in a bowl
1. Scoop ice cream of your desired flavour into cones.
2. Freeze for a bit to make sure ice cream won't melt at the dipping stage. 3. Melt one part copha with two parts chocolate. 4. Coat ice creams in chocolate mixture, then top with optional nuts, candy etc.
5. Wait a minute or two for it to set, then mangia!
Chips – the hot kind and the crisps kind
1: Chop desired vegetable (potato, sweet potato, eggplant, zucchini) into thin slices (crisps) or chip-shaped bits (chips). No need to chop if it's, like, kale.
2: If it's eggplant or zucchini, coat in flour or breadcrumbs or whatever. Otherwise, coat lightly in oil, salt, pepper, spices and well wishes. 3: Pop in the oven until crispy.
Nachos – actual cinema food in America
1. Assemble layers of corn chips, grated cheese, salsa, beans in a tray. If you're feeling particularly hungry chuck some chilli con carne on top.
2. Bake in oven until everything kinda just melts together.
3. Top with guacamole and sour cream to serve.
