It’s beginning to look a little like Halloween here. A few of our neighbors have started setting up huge displays, and that’s putting me in the Halloween mood. We put up a Halloween banner that I’m gonna set up today, and in a few days, I’ll put together the perfect Halloween treat bowl.
I try not to set it up too early because then I’ll end up eating it all before Halloween is here.
That’s why this bowl is actually perfect. It really has a little bit of everything. There is chocolate, non-chocolate edible items, and non-candy options. Kids will love all the choices to eat; parents will love that there are non-candy options; and you’ll love enjoying the leftovers (if there are any). Everyone’s happy.
And your wallet will be happy too. Everything was super reasonable, which is great. Halloween is fun, but not if you break the bank for the neighborhood kids.
How To Make The Perfect Halloween Treat Bowl
What You’ll Need:
- Free “Trick Or Treat … if you dare” Printable (see the end of this post)
- Halloween Bowl
- Mini Halloween Treat Bags
- M&M’s® Milk Chocolate & Peanut Fun Size Mix
- Mini Halloween Activity Sets
- Halloween Pretzel Packets
- Halloween Stationery Sets
- Swirl Lollipops
- Halloween Buttermints
What You’ll Do:
Put the M&M’s in the mini treat bags. They fit perfectly, which is great. Arrange those in the middle of the Halloween bowl.
On one side, fill in the space with the non-chocolate food items (mints, lollipops, and pretzels).
Fill the other side with the non-candy items, like activity sets, stationery items, and glow sticks (like our DIY Halloween Glow Stick Favors above). That way, when you offer the bowl to kids, you can easily direct them to chocolate, non-chocolate, and non-edible items.
In case you’re planing n leaving the bowl out and not answering the doorbell, you can set out our free “Trick Or Treat … if you dare” printable. Just right click the image below and save it to your computer. You can print it whenever you’d like.
Fold it in half, then fold up about an inch from the bottom. Reverse the fold and you’ve made a stand. Tape it on either side, if you want, and put it out by your bowl. That’s all.
Now, about that printable …
Just right click that image above to save it to your computer. Then, print it out when you’re ready for it.
I formatted it to fit an 8.5×11-inch sheet of printer paper so you’re able to print it at home.
What are you putting in your Halloween treat bowl this year?
