See & Do #2: Easiest Halloween Candy Table Setup Ever!
It’s been too long since our first See & Do DIY post (see it here). So we’re thrilled to bring you our second super-easy how-to, just in time for your Halloween party planning! Next to creepy creatures, candy is definitely the star of any Halloween event. So showcase it in a Candy Table that’s sure to cast a sugary spell on the scene. And here’s how to do so—oh so simply!
Materials you will need:
- clear glass goblets, parfait glasses, sorbet dishes, candy jars
- an assortment of your favorite candies in Halloween colors like orange, purple, apple green, black and white M&Ms™, Hershey’s Kisses™, jelly beans, candy corn, Skittles™, sixlets, gummy candies, taffy, chocolate candy cups, mini marshmallows, licorice sticks, foil-wrapped chocolate balls
- metallic trays
- decorative display accents to suit your chosen theme
- scoops or serving spoons
- purple ribbon
- mini treat bags
The Steps:
To highlight the candies and all their colors, keep the setup intentionally simple.
- Arrange the clear glass goblets, glasses, dishes in neat rows on your trays.
- Fill each one with one type of candy.
- Position the containers to present eye-catching color contrasts.
- Place the scoops and treat bags alongside.
- Tie simple bows around the containers’ stems and the scoops’ handles.
- If you wish, add decorative accents depending on your theme (little ghosts, witches’ hats, black cats, and the like).
Presentation Tips:
Our accent pieces were a little “crystal ball” lamp and a wooden wheelbarrow which we filled with brightly colored napkins. You could use something similar, like a play cauldron or a pumpkin-shaped basket, to hold the treat bags and scoops.
For a grownup party, you can leave out the Halloween touches for a clean, modern look. Then tie on black ribbons instead.
If you want a more stylized effect, choose candies in just 1 or 2 colors and display them in clear or solid-colored containers. (We have a spooktacular sweets station in black and green here.)
Now, how’s that for a simple, quick, affordable Halloween Candy Table? See it along with the rest of the party food and drinks display in this post.
