Thread: Candy Bar

Tweet

We are thinking about having a candy bar (along with food, appetizers). Have any of you had a candy bar and if so what types of candies did you use? I also need help finding little metal containers like the ones in this picture so people can use to take the candy home at the end of the party? I attached 2 pictures of examples

Try this old thread Scottfamily5, Candy Buffet Ideas I did the candy buffet that year and it was a great success!

That is a great link and those are wonderful ideas thanks for the info!

The metal buckets in the second picture are from Oriental Trading. Just search for Halloween bucket on their website and it should come up.

We did a candy buffet last year and it was a huge hit! We did fall M&MS, Reeses Pieces, tootsie rolls, mini tootsie roll pops, mini jellied pumpkins, ghost peeps, twizzlers, candy corn of course!
I bought most of my jars at Marhsalls/TJ Maxx. They all have lids...I have bought new ones this year to have a larger buffet for a total of twelve jars, all different sized I will need to get a pic here! You can get metal scoops at wal-mart-a three pack for $3.49 or something...
I am too looking for more candy ideas! I am thinking skittles and gummi bears to add to a fruit element...maybe hersheys miniatures! YUM! All the candy can add up to a bit of an expense, so I start buying it usually in august to spread it out...The small pumpkin container I used to keep the tongs in for the twizzlers, peeps, etc..came from Targets Dollar Spot. They would be good containers to use for take home!
Here is a photo...

What a great looking display of candy. Fantastic! I'm going to have to do something like this.

Thanks!! Like I said I have twice the number of jars for this year. I wasn't sure how many people would show last year so I tried to keep it small. We had almost 100 at our open house so I figure it's ok to add more! The only thing is I really had to encourage the adults to take candy so I had some left over. I think this year I will put a sign up so adults know it's for them too!! I decorated with ribbon from Michaels. They had these awesome spider clip ons I bought that had spider webs on them. They also had black beads with spiders hanging over them to hang on the jars! So cool. I also had a spider tablecloth. It was a lot of fun to do!!

Love the pics mm1.Great set up.

thanks so much for all the compliments

Great Candy bar and thanks for the ideas and I will have to check out TJ Maxx and Marshalls. I also found some great platters and jars at a thrift store
