These 5 warm and cozy fall recipes are a perfect addition to a fun family movie night in
Fall is in full swing now and with the cooler temperatures and comfy sweaters come warm and cozy fall recipes.
Who doesn’t like a slow simmering soup? Or, a fall-inspired drink? When the weather gets cold, people want to cozy up on the couch and have a relaxing evening with a yummy snack.
You don’t have to be a chef or know how to cook to make these fall recipes. With a few ingredients, you can whip up a hearty meal or a delicious dessert for your entire family.
And what’s better than that? Well, watching a great movie while you eat it!
Here are five of the best warm and cozy fall recipes you can share with your family on movie night.
1. Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup
Who doesn’t enjoy a warm, soothing soup on a cold and stormy night? And if there’s bacon, that’s all the better.
This Butternut Squash and Bacon soup recipe is from Chungah of Damn Delicious. She says this about her soup, “Now I’ve made and tried quite a bit of butternut squash soups in the day but I could honestly say that nothing tops this one here. Seriously.”
The trick is to roast your butternut squash with your bacon. That way, you get that smoky bacon infused in your soup.
2. Spicy Turkey Chili
What goes great with a butternut squash soup? Chili!
This chili comes with a twist. Instead of the traditional red meat, this recipe calls for turkey – a healthier option.
And with black beans, jalapeño for heat and some diced tomatoes, in under 40 minutes you can whip up this delicious chili for your family.

3. Quick Apple Pies
Who wants some apple pie with their movie tonight?
Apple pie is the quintessential comfort food when you think of a fall recipe, and it’s the perfect food to hit the spot.
What makes this recipe by Moms Dish great is that it’s super quick to make, and it’s bite-sized. With only five ingredients you can make the best little apple pies your whole family will devour in minutes.
These little desserts are ready in only 25 minutes, making it the perfect after dinner movie snack.
4. Candy Apples
Why not get the whole family involved and spend the afternoon making candy apples?
This classic fall recipe is even perfect for Halloween. Eating candy apples, though, is a challenge if you don’t know that already.
The outer shell is as hard as….candy. The only way you can eat these delicious treats on a stick is to either cut them up or lick the candy off.
You pick.
For the coating, you can use lollipops, or use Jolly Ranchers and make different colors and flavors for your candy apples.
5. Harry Potter’s Butterbeer
This is the perfect drink for your family movie night. Who doesn’t like Harry Potter and the franchise that it has become?
Orlando’s Universal Studios has the real Butterbeer, which has been approved by J.K Rowling herself.
If Universal’s Hogsmeade is too far away for you, your kitchen – or one grocery trip – has all the ingredients to make this hot or cold drink for your family.
With the base of the drink being cream soda, all you need to add are a few sweet ingredients and a great topping to make this iconic wizard drink.
