Yes, we are entering the season of sweet with so many reasons to enjoy the sugariness, indulge in the goodness, and overeat the deliciousness.
What are your thoughts of the holiday marathon “Halloween – Thanksgiving – Christmas”? Maybe you love the festivities and togetherness? Or maybe you are not looking forward to stepping on the scale on January 1st? However, regardless of how you feel about it, you know my family will go through a ton of candy in this short three months. I made my piece with it a couple of years ago, but I refuse to settle for the same old stuff!
What is on the candy menu for this year? If your plan is to make a last minutes run to the big box store for a supersize bag of candy you always get, think about it: since you are going to spend the money anyway, why wouldn’t you try something different? Let’s consider this: yes – buy in bulk, but look for something new, and tell your family to use it wisely! This is the time to put your foot down, because might look like a lot, but you don’t want to run out right before Christmas, do you? Take one and move on!
What Would You Do with All this Candy Goodness?
Cupcakes and Cake decorations
If you are a baker, more power to you to make an awesome desert, but even if you only have the time to stop by the store to grab cupcakes for the guests or a special family night, don’t settle for the stock treats – throw some unique accents and own the dessert time.
Oh, thank you so much, I did work very hard on these!
Halloween Treats
I have to admit that the last few years I am the first to go through the kids candy bags searching for something new and exciting. Unfortunately, it is 90% the same candy from year to year. Don’t let your house be the old news – get creative!
My plan is to share awesome new candy we have discovered at the Sweetworks. Wouldn’t you want to come over to my house for some of this deliciousness?
Special Something
If you think you can get away with not giving any sweetness to your kids, you are seriously mistaken. They know you have it and they won’t settle for anything less than awesome! I suggest you make the best picks for the family like these candy coated chocolate Autumn Sixlets! Do not take my word for it – try it yourself!
Would it be the perfect slice of a chocolate orange or delicious pixlets – the choice is yours!
I really love the stacked cups display! It’s so simple and easy, but it looks fabulous! Thanks for the great ideas!
Love candy and my Grandkids go crazy for candy when they come over .some great Ideas to try .if I don’t,t eat all the candy first..Thanks.
great display and love how you filled the cups 🙂 cool
The Niagra Roasted Almond bar looks great. I have not had one of those in ages.
Your creations are awesome! I would love to make something with those break apart oranges. They’re always my favorite holiday treat.
Wow, that’s a fun table!
Now I really want some sixlets…again.
Your photos are awesome!
Unfortunately we can’t afford to get creative around these parts when it comes to Halloween and trick or treating. We have upwards of 300 kids that come to the door each year so we look for bulk and cheap! If anything, these delicious new goodies would be all for me…I mean US xD
Ha, I love your pictures! Those are too cute.
I would pick the Witch’s Brew candy to decorate my baked goods but also to hand out for trick or treaters.
Seriously, I love your idea about using pre-made candies to decorate your otherwise “plain” but tasty cupcakes and cookies. Well done!
Toasted ALmond bar
So many awesome Halloween treats! I love the stacked teacups!
The teacups with the orange slice is absolutely adorable! Love it 🙂
Wow, I love your candy display! I want to come to your house for Halloween. I think the Ovation Milk Chocolate Peppermint Break-A-Part looks so good!

You have some great display ideas. I love the stacked cups!
Loving your teacups idea. Great mini centerpieces!
I love the break apart oranges. Pumpkin Spice is amazing. I love how you used it with the tea cups.
The Niagara chocolates look SWEET! I would love to try the peanut butter bar.
This is nice
Your display came out great and the true colors of fall have arrived. I’m a Sixlets kind of guy.
I love all these colorful cake and cupcake decorations. I enjoy seeing all these lovely photos.
I like the Foiled Solid Dark Ornaments because they are cute and I’m a big fan of dark chocolate!
I am loving all of these great photos of the amazing chocolate. I now need a chocolate fix.
Those chocolate oranges are really cute! I would love to top cupcakes with those as an added bonus. This is my sweet tooth’s favorite time of year!
Cute ideas!
Fun looking assortment, I love the cups with the Sixlets in them, of course I am prejudiced I love Sixlets, and this is sleek and mature looking, thank you for some great ideas.
That looks pretty good to me! I love their break-aparts!
