Halloween Party Treat Table Decorations

Now, let’s talk about how you can take your Halloween party to the next level with creative decorations for your treat table. When it comes to setting the mood for your spooky soirée, details matter. The theme of this party table is Trick-OR-Treat. The party table doesn’t have any scary elements. You can always add fake spiders, spiderwebs, witch hats, and black candles.

DIY PUMPKIN ORNAMENTS

THE BLACK WIRE WAS FOUND AT DOLLAR TREE IN THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT (ALL SUPPLIES ARE FROM DOLLAR TREE)

USE A NEED WITH A LARGE EYE 2. THREAD WIRE THROUGH NEEDLE EYE 3. PRESS NEEDLE INTO STYROFOAM PUMPKIN

4. USE A HARD SURFACE AND PRESS THE NEEDLE THROUGH THE PUMPKIN

5. USE PLYERS TO PULL THE NEEDLE OUT. 6. LEAVE ENOUGH WIRE ON BOTH SIDES TO FORM A LOOP.

BACKDROP: The Halloween table starts with a backdrop of black fabric and Halloween-themed banners. Look for the free printable banners below in the Halloween Collection.
TABLE COVERING: The table covering was another piece of the same fabric used for the backdrop.
TREE BRANCH: The idea of using a tree branch came when I ran across the mini black lanterns at Dollar Tree. The lanterns were the perfect size and came with batteries! To anchor the tree branch submerg it into a tall bucket filled with rice. Once the lanterns were hung I decided the tree needed more color so I added the pumpkins also found at Dollar Tree. The pumpkins are made of styrofoam and made for use in floral arrangements. I used a long needle and thin wire to transform them into hanging pumpkins.

STACKED TRICK-OR-TREAT JACK-O-LANTERN BUCKETS: I love decorating with these buckets. Walmart has tons of them plus they’re very inexpensive. I had three extra lanterns and placed them in the buckets. You can use any battery-operated light. I’ve even used glow sticks. The buckets not only add color and interest they also add height.

TRICK-OR-TREATERS: I used small skeletons from Dollar Tree as my trick-or-treaters. I dressed them with hats and gave them mini buckets filled with candy. The skeletons served as table fillers. I like a full party table. By paying attention to the little details, you can transform your treat table into a masterpiece that will leave your guests spellbound.

Halloween Party Dessert Table Treats

TRICK-OR-TREAT CANDY BUCKETS AND CRATE OF TOYS

This trick-or-treat party table wouldn’t be complete without candy and toys! I chose to prefill the little trick-or-treat buckets with candy (both candy and buckets from Dollar Tree) and put the little toys (also found at Dollar Tree) in a crate. I supplied the party guests with little trick-or-treat boxes (click here for the free printable or scroll down to see the whole collection→ DOUBLE SIDED HALLOWEEN HAUNTED HOUSE PARTY FAVOR TREAT BOX) so they could fill it themselves.

Rice Krispy Treats Jack-O-Lanterns

For a fun and delicious treat that will delight your guests, consider making Rice Krispy Treats Jack-O-Lanterns. These festive treats are easy to make and will add a pop of color to your Halloween dessert table. I made these treats using store-bought treats. Homemade rice krispy treats will also work. Choose a mold that is at least one inch deep. HERE IS THE MOLD I USED→18 MINI PUMPKIN SILICONE MOLD (not an affiliate link). Your guests will love the cute and spooky look of these Jack-O-Lanterns, making them a perfect addition to your Halloween party spread.

JACK-O-LANTERN RICE KRISPY TREAT INGREDIENTS LIST (MAKES 36 TREATS)-full printable recipe below included in the MINI SPICE CAKE BUNDT CAKES recipe card

PRESS PIECES OF STORE-BOUGHT OR FRESHLY MADE RICE KRISPY TREATS INTO MOLD.

REMOVE TREATS FROM MOLDS, ADD A DOLLOP OF MELTED CANDY, SHAKE THE CANDY TO SPREAD EVENLY, AND PRESS THE SHAPED TREATS INTO CANDY. REFRIGERATE UNTIL HARDENED (ABOUT 15 MINUTES)

BREAK OFF ANY ROUGH EDGES. USE THE WARMTH FROM YOUR FINGERS TO SMOOTH THE EDGES.

THE TREATS WILL NOT BE COMPLETELY COVERED.

NOTE: THE MEASUREMENTS FOR USING THE MOLD LINKED IN THIS POST-MEASURMENTS MAY VARY IF ANOTHER MOLD IS USED.
one silicone jack-o-lantern mold (linked above)
10 store-bought rice krispy treats
1 cup each of yellow, green, and orange melting candy wafers
silver or white pearl dust (optional)

Lightly spray candy mold with nonstick cooking spray.
Pinch off some of the treat and press into the mold. Make sure to compact the marshmallow treats into each cavity.
Carefully remove treats from the candy mold.
Pour 1 cup of melting wafers into a microwaved safe bowl.
Heat for 1 minute on regular heat. Stir until the candy is melted and creamy.
Add a small amount of the melted candy to each well of the mold.
Press-shaped treat into melted candy. Place the candy mold in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until the candy has hardened.
Carefully remove the candy from the mold. Repeat as needed.
Using a clean small paintbrush, add a dusting of the pearl dust. (This step is optional)

WHAT IS PEARL DUST?

Wilton Pearl Dust is a food-safe powder that creates lustrous highlights with a glitter look. Just brush dry onto finished candies or paint with a mixture of Pearl Dust and Wilton Pure Lemon Extract. Your candies will sparkle and shine with a few brushstrokes!

More Semi-Homemade Halloween Party Treats

This Halloween party has something for everyone. A rule I ALWAYS abide by is to split the party treats into store-bought and homemade. This Halloween party fits that rule perfectly. There are only THREE made-from-scratch homemade treats on this fun Halloween Party Table.

CARAMEL POPCORN FILLED PARTY PAPER CONES

Continue the spooktacular snacking with some Caramel Popcorn Filled Paper Cones. These delicious treats are a perfect combination of sweet and salty, with the crunch of popcorn coated in rich, gooey caramel. I used store-bought Crunch ‘n Munch Caramel Popcorn and Peanuts from Walmart. At only $1.47 per box, (here in Tucson AZ) I thought it was a great value plus it’s delicious! Of course, there’s nothing wrong with making homemade caramel popcorn. CLICK HERE FOR MY RECIPE→EASY HOMEMADE CARAMEL POPCORN. Serve them in cute paper cones for a fun and portable snack that your guests will love. I added the cones to a dowel for height and to add more interest. They can also be used without the dowel.

These cute and colorful treats are sure to delight both kids and adults alike. The fluffy cotton candy provides a light and sweet contrast to the spookiness of the holiday, making it a perfect addition to your spread. You can use any container with a lid. I purchased the pumpkin-shaped containers from Temu. The cotton candy is from Dollar Tree. Your guests will love the novelty of eating cotton candy from a festive pumpkin-shaped bottle, adding a playful twist to your celebration.

HOW TO STOP YOUR BUNDT CAKES FROM STICKING TO THE PAN

After baking for years I finally figured out how to make a bundt cake without it sticking to the pan. USE NONSTICK SPRAY WITH FLOUR! To further make this step successful you will also need a pasty brush.

Spray the whole inside of each cake well with nonstick cooking spray that contains flour.
Use a pastry brush and evenly disperse the cooking spray.

WHICH PAN YOU SHOULD USE FOR YOUR MINI SPICE CAKE BUNDT CAKES

I used a 3.75-cup bundt pan from Nordic Ware. The pan offers tiny one-bite bundt cakes and is the perfect size for parties. Spray the pan with nonstick cooking that has flour. Once the pan is sprayed, use a brush to get into all the nooks and crannies.

MINI PUMPKIN SILICONE MOLD 60 CAVITIES

The pumpkins are nice and shallow the perfect size for a topper. This tray also comes with a scraper. This allows you to freely move the melted candy which helps fill the pumpkin’s stem. CLICK HERE FOR THE LINK (not an affiliate link)→MINI PUMPKIN SILICONE MOLD
