One of my favorite things about Halloween is the candy! All the little bite-size treats are packaged up in seasonal or spooky wrappings…making them just as fun to display as to indulge on! Putting out a dish of sweets is so easy and looks great while it waits to be handed out to all those little ghostly callers! Only problem is that you might need to refill your dish several times…ok, many many times before the 31st! But that just goes with the holiday territory! I love to let these sugary snacks do some double duty…making a lovely Halloween display until the goblins come knocking–then they turn into sugary offerings so you don’t get tricked! If you don’t want to spend a ton of time decorating but you do plan on handing out goodies at the end of the month…find your favorite dish, bowl, or candy jar and create the easiest and tastiest holiday display!
show off your sweet tooth faves…
i found this gold footed dish at a resale shop…nothing fancy but it sure looks cute holding my Halloween candy in style!
i love the gold pedestal on the dish…
i also adore hammered aluminum trays and platters…this one’s great for holding the candy, some napkins & gourds AND makes it easy to pick up and move if we need space on the table!
you don’t have to use traditional Halloween napkins…these with a black banded border are just fine and look elegantly simple for the holiday!
i loved these whimsical tags from Ikea and decided to stick one in my candy dish…not that my family needs any guidance to find those tiny treats!
simply tied to a stripey straw & stuck into a piece of styrofoam placed in the bottom of the dish…easily covered up with a napkin and of course–CANDY! (i think some sneaky fingers got into the dish between my photos…good thing i stocked up!)
a simple way to make a fun AND useful display…
not to mention satisfying your sweet tooth!
don’t hide your Halloween goodies…
display ’em in sweet style!
