How to make scary halloween treats.

October 13, 2013 | 18 Comments

Make your own Halloween Treats

It is actually quite simple to make special and unique DIY Halloween treats for party favours or just as a special treat for your children.

Halloween treats

I love to be crafty and creative when it comes to the holiday seasons. This year I am hosting a Halloween party for my family and friends and wanted to make some unusual party favours for my guests.

Scary Halloween Treats

Halloween treats

It was easy to source some cheap champagne/wine glasses for this idea (You can use plastic beakers or cups for the Kids). We do not want Halloween to turn out spending the night in accident and emergency now do we?

How we did this!

I Shopped around and found some great Halloween themed sweets and filled the glasses up with these and that is how simple it really is.

We wrapped each of our Halloween glasses in clear cellophane, which I purchased from Hobby Craft for £4 a roll.

This allows you to see what is inside the glasses and yet gives it that professional looking finish.

To finish we added curled ribbon (I curled the ribbon using scissors), you can use any colours, which ever suits your party theme. For an extra special Halloween treat, add some scary looking decorations like plastic spiders and cobwebs.

Scary Skewers

These are a big favourite with the children and are very cheap and easy to make.

Step 1

Take a skewer and start adding your choice of sweets, until the skewer is completely full apart from a couple of cm at each end. You will have to use soft sweets to allow the skewer to glide through them with ease.

Step 2

Wrap the filled Halloween Skewers in cellophane wrap.

Step 3

Tie curled ribbon around each end of the skewer not only to secure the cellophane wrap but also to add a bit of decoration to the treats.

You could also cover the sweets in strawberry source before you wrap them to make them look like they are dripping with blood (Now that is scary)

As above you can add further Halloween decorations which are in most stores and easy to find.

Halloween treats

These are not only look great on the table but are an extra special treat for the guests to take home.

You can use this idea for any occasion and I have used this same idea at weddings, birthdays and Easter. Any questions please just ask.

Happy Halloween

    Don’t really like Halloween – think it’s just a ploy for the shops to make more money out of very hard-strapped parents. The kids put parents under extreme pressure sometimes when they insist on having just the best of everything all the time – not just for birthdays and Christmas. I wouldn’t like be a parent these days – it’s must be very hard with the way the economy is.

      I agree it’s seems to be a ploy to get people to spend money but most children love it, I know mine do. Although walking around at Halloween is cold doing our trick or treating can be fun and you don’t have to spend anything if you don’t want to. My kids make their own outfits with a little help from us and we actually have fun doing this too. The beauty of making your own treats is that you can spend as much or as little as you want and I have seen tons of wonderful ideas through the blogging community. Thank you for commenting Rachel x

        Unfortunately the true meaning of Halloween or all hallows eve has been lost through consumerism, but then so has Valentines day, Easter and even Christmas.

        I love Halloween for the myths and legends and watching family friendly spooky movies while stuffing my face with sweets, but hate the whole costume and trick or treat side of it.
