10 Clever Ways to Display Your Halloween Candy for Trick-or-Treaters

Passing out candy gems or gold doubloons? Pile a mountain of sweets for the neighborhood inside this makeshift treasure chest.

Step inside, and take a closer look at the darkened, murky glass. This one shows way more than just your reflection. It's a pair of spectral hands! Spooky right? Even spookier that they seem to reach out coincidentally when your trick-or-treaters reach for the candy bowl.

Maritime legend has it that the Flying Dutchman is a fearsome ghost ship, which never returns to safe harbor and is doomed to sail the seven seas forever. In our version, it serves as a haunting addition to your front door decor and doubles as a server of treats—mainly pearly white gumballs and candy gold doubloons.

Candy makes for a colorful display on its own, so display them in glass canisters. That way, they can mix and match their treats. And the labels—"Devilish Delights" and "Rotten Sweets" among them—will make them all the more tempting. 

Take one if you dare, because taking two you'll be in for a real scare! To give your trick-or-treaters a bit of late-night-fright, create a pumpkin treat passing out a combo that works for Happy Haunting day or night.

Have you ever taken a closer look at your Halloween treats? Under glass, they often take on the look of botanical or nautical artifacts (especially dark-chocolate-covered cherries and rock candy).
