Top Tip For Making Snacks More Romantic
Now before we get into it, it’s worth mentioning that you can actually make ANY snack more romantic, by popping it into a cute heart snack bowl.
It’s a simple hack to spark a little extra romance – day, evening or night!
Romantic table decor, like reusable heart rose petals and romantic heart candles can also help to enhance the romance, no matter what food you choose, too.
So it’s well worth stocking up on the essentials to make romantic date night snacks even easier to create!
17+ Romantic Date Night Snacks
So, what have we got for you? What are the best romantic date night snacks, well worth getting in for your next date night? Well, in no particular order…
1) Chocolate Covered Fruit
First up, let’s start with the classic, which is chocolate covered fruit.
Berries are usually the go-to. Traditionally it’s chocolate strawberries (or chocolate raspberries even.) But experiment – get creative!
I mean, apple covered fruit is a no brainer if you’re looking for romantic date night snacks for halloween date ideas at home.
2) Fruit Platter
If you’re looking for healthier romantic date night snacks, you could always leave out the chocolate and create a fruit platter instead.
To make it more romantic – have a go at cutting the fruit into heart shapes. Or feeding each other the fruit (like they do in the movies with grapes!)
That’s one way to keep your relationship playful!
3) Pomegranate
Now it’s worth mentioning pomegranate when looking at fruits that make great romantic date night snacks.
See, the intricately bold and beautiful pomegranate was a symbol of marriage and life in Greek Mythology.
In other cultures, it is regarded as a representation of togetherness.
Just as the seeds stick tightly together, safe in its protective exterior, it’s supposed to be reflective of your relationship. Sweet, huh?
So consider how you can incorporate pomegranate into your romantic date snack ideas.
4) Chocolate Fondue
So we spoke about chocolate covered fruit as a great romantic snack. This is typically done by melting chocolate over the fruit then putting it in the refrigerator to cool off.
If you want to go one step further however and up the romance even more – you want to get yourself a chocolate fondue!
These are NEXT-LEVEL romantic. Honestly, getting one was the best investment we ever made as it creates endless home date ideas in itself!
A tiered electric chocolate fondue is my favourite as you then get the chocolate flowing down (it’s super impressive, and far more affordable than you’d think!)
Fondue pots also work however, and these then become multi-purpose, suitable for chocolate or cheese. Speaking of which…
5) Cheese Fondue
A cheese fondue makes for a great date night snack, especially if you’re more of a savoury person.
Simply fill your fondue pot up with cheese, wait until it’s melted, then dip with fresh, crusty bread. (Mmm, it’s so good!)
This works perfectly for those cosy home date nights in autumn or winter.
In fact, when you have delicious date night snacks like this – it actually makes staying in, feel like the new going out!
6) Charcuterie Board
A charcuterie board is also another popular choice when it comes to savoury romantic date night snacks.
Set out a variety of cheeses, crackers, grapes, and nuts on a board or platter for an easy and elegant snack option.
Pair this with good conversation and interesting questions and you’re onto a recipe for success!
7) Favourite Snacks – Snack Board
One of the most romantic date night snack ideas is to create a completely custom board full of your partners favourite snacks.
It doesn’t matter how random the board becomes – because it’s completely personal, thoughtful and therefore incredibly romantic!
It’s one of the special ways to show someone you love them, and so is – undoubtably – one of our top recommendations when it comes to planning romantic date night snacks!
8) Dessert Platter
On a similar note, if your partner has more of a sweet tooth, a mini dessert platter has got to be one of the most romantic date night snacks that they’re GUARANTEED to love!
Get selections of different desserts and cut them in half to make smaller samples.
To make it all the more romantic, consider hand feeding each other, maybe even with a blindfold, so you have to guess the sweet treats you’re tasting!
That’s right – always try to think outside the box for extra twists and you’ll make romantic snacks even more romantic (and an even bigger part of the night!) Alternatively…
9) Cupcakes
Cupcakes are always a fun and sweet romantic date night snack, especially when covered in heart shapes and sprinkles!
Find the cutest, pink or red cakes… Or make your own! In fact, if you do make your own, it doesn’t matter how good or bad it turns out – the thought is there which makes it more romantic.
Either way, cupcakes are always another simple, sweet treat so a no-brainer when it comes to romantic snack ideas.
10) Chips & Dips
Up next, it’s chips and dips! This is more of a fun, casual date night snack, with the sweet alternative being…
11) Popcorn
Popcorn is one of the most classic romantic date night snacks as it takes you back to those sweet movie night dates!
The key to making it more romantic? Bring the cinema to your OWN home, by grabbing some proper popcorn boxes to fill the popcorn in!
(Trust me, this simple extra trick makes it so unbelievably special!)
Like we said – it’s all about finding ways to put extra effort in that makes your date night all the more sweet.
12) Chocolate Drizzled Popcorn
Do you see the theme here? Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. But let’s be fair – chocolate makes most snacks more romantic!
Why? Well I guess because chocolate, when eaten, produces feelings of love and euphoria ( from the endorphins and serotonin released in the brain upon first taste).
Add a saucy twist to the classic popcorn by drizzling chocolate sauce over it or melt chocolate until it turns into a sauce then drizzle that over.
It makes it more fun and flirty… And it totally doesn’t matter if things get a little messy!
13) Ice Cream
Ice cream is another classic date night snack, that’s pretty romantic when you’re snuggled up, munching away, care-free with a movie!
Uh huh, ice cream doesn’t have to just come out during romantic beach dates!
It’s comfort food and comforting for a reason. Just don’t worry about watching your weight with date night snacks like these. Treat yourself!
14) S’mores
S’mores aren’t only great for movie marathons. You can also snack on these around a fire pit, for endless romantic summer nights.
In winter, if it’s too cold outside, grab an indoor fire-pit instead.
It’s a date based around the snack, but pairs perfectly with deep questions, to get you really connecting with your partner.
15) Pretzels
Pretzels are actually one of the most romantic date night snacks, because of their deeper meaning! (Who’d have thought!?)
See in the 17th century, the pretzel’s interlocking loops also came to symbolize undying love.
Some couples even grasped the ends of the pretzel and unraveled it during wedding ceremonies — one possible origin of the phrase “tying the knot.”” On a similar note…
16) Nuts
A bowl of nuts is the simplest, yet still surprisingly romantic date night snacks because of – again – what nuts symbolise!
Nuts exhibit a hard, outer layer that protects its important insides. (Deep huh?!)
Many cultures celebrate nuts as a symbol of strong marriage. More specifically, hazelnuts, almonds and chestnuts all are associated with love.
17) Pizza… With Basil On Top
Last but not least, we’ve got to mention pizza as a date night snack! Pizza is undeniably one of the most common date night snacks (or dinner even.)
But if you want to bring out a pizza with even deeper meaning – be sure to top it with some basil…
In India and Italy, basil is a symbol of good wishes and love. An Italian woman might put a pot of growing basil outside her front door — it means she is ready for love.
The only question that then leaves is… Are YOU ready to show your love with romantic date night snacks?! 👀😉
