Slumber Party Food
Slumber parties are the best! Staying up late, watching movies, playing games... and best of all, so many snacks.
It is so much fun to come up with food for sleepovers. I have always loved planning what to serve when my kids bring their friends over, from foods to snack on all day to dinner and breakfast the next morning!
Seeing their faces light up when they see the snacks waiting for them and dinner at the table... that's a feeling you just can't beat! I'm so excited to share my favorite sleepover foods with you. I promise, these recipes will take your party over the top.
These are my best snacks, sleepover dinner ideas, and breakfasts you can make ahead of time.
💻 Virtual Sleepovers
Virtual sleepovers are my new favorite way to throw a slumber party! Plan a menu with your friends and pick out some movies to watch together.
Instant Pot recipes are especially great for virtual sleepovers. If everyone has a pressure cooker, you can plan an easy menu with recipes like our Instant Pot Banana Bread.

My favorite part about these snacks is that they do not have to be served warm. Even the beef empanadas are so delicious, you can eat them cold (I've done it!).
These make some of my favorite food for sleepovers - especially the pizza twists! They're so easy, kids can help make them.

It's hard to choose, but my favorite of these four would have to be the Mexican Lasagna with Corn Tortillas. It's one of the best dinner ideas for sleepovers.

Notes
How to Melt Peanut Butter in the Microwave
- Measure out 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover the bowl with a paper towel.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl from the microwave, and stir well.
- Return the bowl to the microwave and continue to cook in 30-second intervals until it melts.
How to Melt Chocolate in Microwave
- Break or chop your chocolate into small pieces if you are using a chocolate bar. You can also use melting chocolate from the baking section of the grocery store, or chocolate chips, if you prefer.
- Add the chocolate pieces to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds on high, then remove and stir. Stirring is important, as the chocolate may not melt properly if you don't stir it.
- Repeat by microwaving as necessary for 15 second intervals until the chocolate has only a few lumps. Stir to melt any remaining lumps.
