Trick-or-treat candy, variety packs & pumpkin pails
Candy

Chocolate variety packs

Reese's, Snickers, M&M's, and Kit Kat in one bag cover every preference. A variety pack is the single easiest way to please a whole doorbell's worth of trick-or-treaters.

Candy

Mixed fun-size bags

A fun-size assortment balances chocolate with gummies, sour chews, and hard candies so the non-chocolate kids aren't left out. Buy one bag more than you think you'll need.

Candy

The classic pumpkin pail

The orange pumpkin-shaped trick-or-treat bucket is the icon of the night — sturdy, visible in the dark, and big enough for a respectable haul. Get one per kid and reuse it for years.

Candy

Allergen-friendly treats

The Teal Pumpkin Project encourages non-food treats (glow sticks, stickers, mini toys) so kids with food allergies can join the fun. Set out a teal pumpkin to signal you have allergy-safe options.

Candy

Party candy buffet

For a Halloween party, stack candy in graduated jars by color — orange, purple, green — and let guests fill their own bags. A candy buffet doubles as décor and dessert.

Candy

Candy buy-back

After the big night, many dentists trade surplus candy for cash or prizes and donate the haul. It's a gentle way to cut the sugar load while keeping the fun of the pail.
