Summer has come to an end and with that comes the changing of my candy table in my dining room. My china buffet rotates seasonally with fun candies and decorations and it’s something my family looks forward to seeing. I typically like to surprise them and the table is never the same because the seasonal candy is always changing. I always start at Target because I am there way too often, isn’t there an AA for frequent weekly Target visits? Maybe that’s why there’s the dollar section and Starbucks? Either way, when Target began phasing out all the back-to-school supplies I started noticing cute end caps at the front of the store featuring an exclusive Target M&M flavor, Boo-tterscotch White Chocolate. My compulsive seasonal candy obsession kicked in and I snagged a few six bags and headed to the back of the store to the Halloween shop. When I build my candy tables I always look at: M&M’s, Skittles, DOVE and Starburst. I look at these because their seasonal colors and flavors are always on point. The Halloween M&M’s are some of my favorites and with the addition of the exclusive Boo-tterscotch White Chocolate flavor I grabbed the Candy Corn flavor because I love the classic colors. Another fun addition to this years shop is Target’s exclusive DOVE Milk Chocolate Ghosts. Once I had all my candy I circled back up to the front of the store to the dollar spot and found cute glass jars and pom-pom garland. You guys, Target is seriously your one-stop Halloween shop but you need to shop early in the season because you can miss some great finds. Plus, don’t forget to use your Cartwheel app, it saves me a ton of money.
Remember the jars I picked up in the dollar spot? I thought it would be fun to fill them with the M&M’s and DOVE chocolates that I purchased. I created a quick Halloween tag that I printed (download at the bottom), I cut them out with a round and scalloped paper cutter, I added some twine, Halloween fabric and voila! These are perfect to give to a co-worker or that special someone just to put a smile on their face. Who wouldn’t want a jar full of silky smooth DOVE Milk Chocolate Ghosts with a tag that reads, “You’re My Boo”.
When you’re building a holiday candy bar you need to have some height. I have two larger and two mid-size apothecary jars. I then add a focal point, a large black Halloween tree then two smaller on each side. I added a large black spider, a plush spider, and then lower items like the smaller candy jars and pumpkins. I draped the table with a black spider web cloth and the backdrop is a spider web fabric attached to the wall.
The DOVE Dark Chocolate Pumpkins are also sinful and spooky.
Skittles Cauldron mix is bright and cheerful. Halloween doesn’t have to be all black and orange.
As you can see it’s pretty simple to put together a spooky candy bar with Target’s one-stop Halloween shop. Do you put together a seasonal table, what do you include?
