Buzz Lightyear Popcorn
Creating this space-themed snack is an exciting adventure that begins with popping your favourite kind of kernels. Once your popcorn is ready, blast it off to the next level by drizzling white chocolate all over it. This will give it a galactic feel just like Buzz’s space suit. For an added touch of Toy Story, sprinkle some green M&M’s, perfectly representing Buzz Lightyear’s colour scheme.

Alien Jello Cups
These extraterrestrial treats are sure to be a hit! All you need is some lime flavoured gelatin, clear plastic cups, and some candy eyes for the ultimate Alien touch.
Start by preparing the jelly as per package instructions. Lime works best for that classic green Alien look, but feel free to experiment!
Pour the mixture into clear plastic cups, filling them half-way. Allow to cool down, setting them in the refrigerator.
Right before the gelatin is fully set, grab some candy eyes. Press them gently into the semi-set jello to create the Alien’s face.
Chill till completely set. Be sure to make plenty – they’ll be the first to beam up!
Remember, the key to capturing the magic of the Toy story Alien is all in those signature three eyes. So go on, have fun with it. This snack is sure to have everyone saying, “The clawww!”
Mr. Potato Head Cookies
These delightful treats are a hit for kids and adults alike. All you need are simple sugar cookies, your favorite icing, and some edible cake decorations.
To capture Mr. Potato Head’s iconic look, frost the cookies with brown icing, and then use colorful sweet embellishments to make his eyes, nose, mouth, ears and hat.
The real fun is in the personal touch – giving each cookie its unique expression.
Not only are you offering a tasty snack, but it is also a fun activity for children to be involved in the creative process.
Plus, they serve as a great decorative piece for your food spread.
Toy Story Themed Veggie Tray
A playful twist on a healthy snack, this vegetable tray embodies the fun and color of Toy Story. Start by selecting vegetables that align with character colors; green cucumbers for Buzz Lightyear, orange baby carrots for Woody, and purple radishes for Emperor Zurg.
Another creative spin is to cut the vegetables in shapes that represent the characters—for instance, using a star-shaped cookie cutter for Buzz. This not only appeals to the eye but also encourages younger ones to pick up healthier snack options.
Remember to include a tasty dip, like ranch or hummus, which could be the ‘claw’ reaching out from the vending machine in Pizza Planet. Being creative with presentation can make a world of difference in making snack time fun and nutritious.
Thus, let your imagination run wild—much like the adventures of the beloved Toy Story group.
Woody’s Cowboy Hat Cupcakes
Crafting these delightful cupcakes requires both creativity and a passion for baking. Start by baking a chocolate or vanilla cupcake base, ensuring a delightful canvas for the topping.
The critical element, the cowboy hat, made from rolled fondant colored in Woody’s signature brown. Next, use a cookie cutter to get the brim shape, and mold the top of the hat by hand for a more authentic look.
Once the cupcakes have cooled down, swirl a spoonful of buttercream icing on top, which acts as an adhesive for the fondant hat.
Serve these cupcakes at your Toy Story-themed event, and watch your guests’ faces light up. Remember, the magic is in the details!
Remember to apply a light dusting of cocoa powder or edible glitter for some extra ‘wow’ factor. These cupcakes create an exciting visual display, capturing Toy Story’s whimsy while satisfying all cravings. What more could you want from a themed treat?
Hamm’s Pink Doughnuts
Shaped like our beloved piggy bank character, these treats couldn’t be easier to make. Simply pick up a dozen or more pre-made doughnuts from your favorite bakery. The glaze should ideally be a vibrant pink to match Hamm’s color. For an extra playful touch, save some white and black icing to add Hamm’s features: two round eyes and a curving mouth.
A more adventurous approach would involve baking your own doughnuts. This allows for control over the shade of pink and even the flavor profile. One might opt for strawberry doughnuts to reinforce the color theme or a rich red velvet for a surprising twist. Regardless of your choice, remember to keep the doughnut’s size smaller, akin to a snack portion.
Do keep in mind the doughnuts’ purpose: as a fun, themed treat, not a full meal. The goal here is to delight the party-goers rather than satiate their hunger with oversized pastries. In all, Hamm’s doughnuts serve as a delightful visual and edible addition to any Toy Story snack spread.
Alien Popcorn Balls
Boasting a vibrant shade of green, these popcorn treats are as appetizing as they are eye-catching. Crafted from popcorn, marshmallows, and a dash of food coloring, they are a delight for the taste buds and, with foodsafe edible googly eyes, add a sprinkle of intergalactic charm to any Toy Story-themed spread.
Here’s your guideline to prepare this tasty snack:
- 1. Melt butter in a saucepan and add marshmallows. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- 2. Add in green food coloring, mixing well to ensure an even tone.
- 3. Toss in the popcorn, stirring until well coated with the marshmallow mix.

Crafting these sweet treats requires only a few simple ingredients: fresh, tangy apples; soft, gooey caramel; and thin, edible candy stencils in the shape of Bullseye’s signature saddle markings.
1. Start by washing and drying your apples. Firm, tart apples work best since they provide a delightful contrast to the rich caramel.
2. Melt your caramel in a saucepan, remembering to stir consistently to prevent burning. Once it reaches a liquid consistency, dip each apple in, ensuring they’re fully coated.
3. Allow the caramel-covered apples to dry on a wax paper-covered tray. This helps solidify the caramel and maintain that glossy sheen.
4. For the signature touch, apply the candy stencils while the caramel is still slightly warm. Firmly press them on to ensure they stick.
These steps ensure you capture Bullseye’s spirit in a delectable snack, perfect for any Toy Story-themed party. The tartness of the apple pairs beautifully with the creamy caramel, creating a mouthwatering contrast.
