Flavours & Textures That Win the Bowl

- Chocolate interludes: mellow the zing with buttons, bites and mini bars for balance.

How Much to Order
Think footfall, timing and weather. Then plan for a cheerful queue at the door.
- Trick-or-treat traffic: 4–6 pieces per visitor as a baseline; keep a secret refill bag for the final rush.
- House party: 120–200g per adult, 80–120g per child across sour, jelly and chocolate.
- Street or office bowls: favour 1kg bags or tubs so topping up is painless.
Allergy & Labelling Basics
Always check product pages for the latest ingredients and allergen statements. Common flags include milk, soya and wheat/gluten, with possible nut traces. Keep Vegan, Halal, gluten-free and sugar-free bowls separate, with wrappers visible so guests can verify quickly.
Hosting Ideas That Raise a Smile
- Haunted pick n mix: three bowls (Sour, Jelly, Chocolate) plus a “Monster Mystery” jar that changes hourly.
- Party bag line: five pieces from each bowl into themed bags—no squabbles, all joy.
- Movie marathon platter: alternate sour skulls with mallows and chocolate bites; add popcorn for crunch.
- Neighbourhood swap: trade half a tub with next door for variety without extra spend.
Budget, Bulk & Speed
- Cheap halloween sweets: build your base with value mixes, then add a small handful of show-stoppers (eyeballs, brains) for drama.
- Bulk halloween sweets: fewer reorders, better price per piece and easier planning for large groups.
- Next-day options: if you’ve cut it fine, choose in-stock items and keep your serving bowls and scoops ready to go.
Trick-or-Treat Essentials Checklist
- One sour, one jelly, one chocolate, one wildcard (eyeballs or skulls).
- At least one themed shape in bold colours for visual theatre.
- 1kg refill bag or a spare tub to keep the bowl looking full.
- Clear signage for Vegan, Halal, sugar-free and gluten-free.
- Paper bags, scoops or ladles, plus a doorstep bucket or cauldron.
