3. Minion Pretzels Party Food

From Cutesy Crafts :: These Minion Pretzels might take a little time and effort, but aren’t they just too cute to handle?

4. Minion Moon Pies

From Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons :: I just love these little guys. The instructions for these Minion Moon Pies are pretty simple.

And even better…they only require a few minutes to make! They start with a basic store bought banana-flavored Moon Pie. Black licorice laces, mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and some white candy coating are the main ingredients needed to create the Minion look.

You can add a little personality by creating each Minion Moon Pie a little different. Cut licorice pieces to add hair or glasses. Give some Minions two marshmallow eyes. Curve the licorice mouth to express a different emotion.

5. DIY Minion Pinata

From Raising Whasians :: Piñatas are pretty much a guaranteed party activity win. Filled with candy and prizes, a piñata is a hanging treasure chest, just waiting to be broken open.

Don’t break the bank on a pricey store bought piñata! This DIY Minion piñata is a fraction of the cost of its store bought competitor and totally doable at home for the price of some simple craft supplies—tissue paper, construction paper, buttons, pipe cleaner, small silver dessert plates, and prize filler.

The only problem with this DIY Minion Piñata is that the kids might not want to break it, because it’s so adorable.

This is a great DIY project to start ahead of time, so you can have a stress-free Minion party.

You’ll need cookies (Oreos and/or Vienna Fingers), candy melts, candy eyes, and either paper straws or lollipop sticks (optional).

7. Minion Sand Bucket Favors + Free Printable

This is perfect for your Minion party if you’re on a budget, but is actually pretty great no matter what. The finished bucket makes a great gift as is, or can be filled with a small treat.

From Hungry Happenings :: If you’re into details and not afraid of a little work, these banana ice cream cone Minions are adorable and would make an especially fun addition to a summer Minion birthday party.
