🛍️ Best Budget-Friendly Bulk Sweets
These picks are tried-and-tested favourites — the kind of treats kids actually want, and you won’t feel bad about handing out by the handful.
🍭 Swizzels Trick or Treat Mix Tub
This tub is practically made for Halloween. Drumsticks, Love Hearts, Fizzers, and Refreshers… they’re nostalgic for grown-ups and still a hit with today’s kids. Because they’re all individually wrapped, you can hand them out safely and quickly, or pour a few into pre-packed paper bags for extra flair.
🍬 Mini Pumpkin Chocolates (250g)
These foil-wrapped little pumpkins are Halloween in a nutshell. Great for adding to a treat bowl or mixing into larger party bags. They’re especially good if you want your handout to look festive without breaking the bank — and they’re quick to grab if you’re dishing out treats mid-chaos.
🍫 Hard Boiled Monster Sweets (100-pack)
These sweets are simple, safe, and surprisingly fun. The variety of monster faces printed on each wrapper turns a humble boiled sweet into a moment of comparison and giggles. Perfect for a no-fuss handout — especially if you’re already juggling a baby, a doorbell, and a fog machine.
🎃 Zombie Fruit Bars (24-pack)
These bars are a brilliant option if you’re after something a little healthier without going full “mum-blogger.” They look Halloween-y, they’re easy to grab, and they’re perfect for toddlers or allergy-sensitive trick-or-treaters. Bonus: they’re wrapped in compostable packaging, so they win eco points too.
🛒 Glow Stick Bracelets (100 Pack)
Glow sticks are always a hit. Kids love cracking them, wearing them, and adding a bit of sparkle to their costume. They're also a low-cost way to increase visibility while walking in the dark — something parents will thank you for.
🧟♂️ Trolli Halloween Gummy Mix
With gummy eyeballs, Dracula teeth, brains, and more, this mix delivers maximum Halloween energy. It’s colourful, creepy, and ideal for themed treat tables or parties. If you’re going big with your decorations this year, these sweets help tie it all together. Just don’t be surprised if a few grown-ups ask for one too.
🔄 Mix-and-Match Treat Stations
Want to build your own setup? Buying in bulk doesn’t have to mean boring. Create a more magical front-door experience with themed bowls or treat carts. For example:
- 🍬 Chewy & fruity station (think Swizzels + fruit bars)
- 🍫 Chocolatey station (pumpkin chocolates + mini bars)
- 🎯 Sugar-light or allergy-friendly picks (zombie bars + stickers)
- 🎁 Non-edibles or “magic extras” (see below!)
Creating a visual display with labelled bowls, themed buckets, or even a simple tablecloth can turn a last-minute handout into something kids remember.
💡 Final Tips for Buying in Bulk
A little prep goes a long way when you're planning for 50, 100, or even 300 trick-or-treaters. Here’s what we’ve learned:
- ✅ Stick to individually wrapped — It’s safer, easier to portion, and looks more hygienic.
- 🎒 Pre-bag if you expect a rush — Fill paper bags with 2–3 sweets each. They’re fast to hand out and kids love the surprise.
- 🎯 Mix it up — A variety of chewy, chocolaty, and sugar-light treats makes everyone feel included.
- 🧮 Count on 2–3 pieces per child — So for 100 kids, you’ll want at least 250–300 pieces.
🔁 Update your Trick or Treat Map listing — If you’re running low or done for the night, update your stop in real time so families know before they walk up.
Buying Halloween sweets in bulk isn’t just about saving money — it’s about creating a smooth, magical experience for everyone who comes to your door. Whether you’re stocking up for hundreds or just planning ahead for your cul-de-sac, choosing the right treats (and a few fun extras) can make all the difference.
So grab your big tub, prep your station, and let the good haunts begin. 👻🛍️
