Shop the Collection

Build your seasonal stash with themed shapes, party-ready formats and fast fulfilment from the UK range at Halloween Sweets. Expect sour shocks, fizzy favourites, jelly pumpkins, foamy ghosts, eyeballs, brains and plenty of chocolate to calm the tang.

Inclusive Treats Everyone Can Enjoy

• Halal Sweets—ideal for family gatherings and neighbourhood events where everyone’s included.
• Sugar Free Sweets—lighter choices for office bowls, later-night film sessions and mindful guests.

Theme It with Character

Nothing gets a bigger grin than a dramatic centrepiece. Build a bowl that looks like it might bite back.

• Statement shapes: eyeballs, brains, pumpkins, spiders and worms for instant atmosphere.
• Photogenic hero piece: skull gummies or sour skulls from Skull Sweets bring the theatre.
• Colour play: contrast electric blues, gory reds and ghoulish greens for a platter that pops on camera.

Buy Smart: Formats & Value

Match what you buy to how you’ll serve it. You’ll save money, cut waste and look brilliantly organised.

• Bulk halloween sweets & 1kg bags: cost-effective for busy streets, school nights and community events.
• Tubs: stackable, tidy and perfect for a self-serve pick n mix bar labelled “Sour”, “Jelly”, “Chocolate”.
• Individually wrapped minis: fast for doorbells; hygienic for trick-or-treat rounds and party bags.
• Gift boxes & letterbox treats: easy wins for students, friends and family further afield.

Flavours & Textures That Win the Bowl

• Sour & fizzy: high-impact, lip-tingling favourites for teens and thrill-seekers.
• Jelly & gummy: pumpkins, spiders, worms—soft chew, big fun, perfect for younger guests.
• Chocolate interludes: mellow the zing with buttons, bites and mini bars for balance.
• Marshmallow & foam: gentle textures that keep the mix from palate fatigue.

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.
