1. Emerald City Popcorn

• What it is: Bright green-colored popcorn to represent the iconic Emerald City.
• How to make it: Toss popcorn with green-colored sugar or candy melts to create a shimmery, jewel-tone effect. You could also mix in green M&Ms or sprinkles for extra flair.

2. Elphaba’s Witchy Guacamole Dip

• What it is: A classic guacamole dip styled as a cauldron of “potion.”
• How to make it: Serve guacamole in a small black cauldron or dark bowl with chips. Top with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and maybe even a few edible flower petals to give it a “witchy” vibe.

3. Flying Monkey Pretzel Sticks

• What it is: Pretzel rods dipped in chocolate to look like broomsticks or monkey wings.
• How to make it: Dip the end of each pretzel rod into melted dark or milk chocolate, then roll it in crushed nuts or shredded coconut for a “feathery” look. Stick a tiny pair of edible candy “wings” on each side (you can find these in most baking aisles or use almond slices).

4. Glinda’s Pink Cotton Candy Fizz

• What it is: A magical, sparkling pink drink.
• How to make it: Place a puff of pink cotton candy in each glass, then pour lemon-lime soda or sparkling water over it right before serving. The cotton candy will dissolve, creating a whimsical, bubbly pink drink!

5. Munchkin Donut Holes

• What it is: Mini donut holes to represent the Munchkins of Oz.
• How to make it: Use powdered sugar donut holes or mini muffins and stack them in a tiered serving dish. Add a few green, white, or pink sprinkles to tie in the Wicked color scheme.

6. Defying Gravity Layered Parfaits

7. Yellow Brick Road Cheese Platter

• What it is: A yellow-toned cheese and cracker board designed like the yellow brick road.

8. Elphaba’s Potion Bottles

• What it is: Mini green potion-like drinks served in tiny bottles.
• How to make it: Use small glass bottles filled with green punch or green apple soda, and label each bottle with “Elphaba’s Potion.” You could even tie a little black ribbon around the neck for extra flair.
