Space Galaxy Dip
This is such an easy dip recipe, but is a really cool fruit dip for a space theme party, NASA birthday party, or simple eclipse party menu ideas.
If you have a party craft station or want a science activity for kids, you can even make this as an edible craft.
Kids have a lot of fun making this!
RECIPE TIP: You can make our easy fruit dip recipe or use your favorite store-bought fruit dip if you’re in a time crunch!

Galaxy Party Eclipse Snack Board
I love this easy dessert board!
It’s such a fun idea that makes a really cute sweet charcuterie platter.
We made our solar eclipse snack board a dessert board, but you can easily make it a savory eclipse charcuterie board with meats and cheeses cut into star, moon & planet shapes, crackers, a savory dip (instead of our sweet night and day dip), and vegetables cut into moon, star, and sun shapes.
CHARCUTERIE TIP: We could only find chocolate moon pies, but also get yellow moon pies if you can find them. They make a great sun and moon contrast on your board of snacks!

Swirled Space Bark Candy Recipe
You can make this easy bark recipe in any colors of chocolate melts, but we chose black melts and yellow for a sun and moon party.
I love how this swirled chocolate turned out in these swirled colors.
If you’re having a space party, try blue, yellow, purple, and black melted chocolates.
(This easy candy also makes a beautiful addition to your space snacks board!)

Chocolate Planet Pops Suckers
Definitely make these planet lollipops ahead of time because it takes a little while for the chocolate to set.
(We let our suckers set overnight.)
RECIPE TIP: Definitely use that food glitter dust on the dark planet suckers, but not on the yellow sun side. I thought it just made the yellow look dirty and not cool.

Cookie Crater Moon Bars
These no-bake Oreo cookie bars make fun “cookie craters” to add to your space recipes.
You can easily form these into balls to look like moon rocks instead of bars.
Lunar Lemonade Drink
We made these party drinks with our favorite lemonade recipe (or you can use store-bought lemonade if you need a quick drink).
They both looked great with the black moon ice cube!
RECIPE TIP: You’ll have to pick these up for round ice cubes to make planets.
Solar Splash Sipper Kids Punch
This colored party punch is elevated with a “sun” ice cube and a fun rim of candy around the glass.
My daughter said this solar eclipse drink was one of the most fun recipes we’ve made together. So, if you want a fun science-themed idea for kids, add this to your STEM list.
