Halloween Candy Kabob Supplies:

Before you start assembling your candy kabobs, gather the following supplies:

• Marshmallow candies like peeps or these pumpkin, ghost and eyeball marshmallow candies.

• Gummy candies. The options are endless here. Check out the Halloween candy aisle and see what inspires you. I used:
  • Sour Streamers
  • Nerds Spooky Ropes
  • Nerd clusters

• Wooden bamboo skewers

• Nonstick cooking spray

• Treat bags – I used cellophane iridescent bags.

• Optional ribbon – I used this purple checked ribbon to add a bow to my treat bags

• Optional decoration for ribbon – I purchased a pack of various Halloween wooden decorations to paint and add to all my Halloween DIY’s. I love how the “boo” adds that something extra to the candy kabobs!

Halloween Candy Kabob Instructions

• Prep your skewers – Either soak the skewers in water for about an hour or give them a good coat of nonstick cooking spray. This step helps the candies to slide onto your skewer.

• Prep Your Ingredients – Open packages and make sure everything is ready to go.

• Plan your design – Decide what order you want to layer your candy in.

• Start assembling by sliding candies onto the skewer. 

Candy Kabob Tips:

• As already mentioned, soak your skewers before assembling or spray with non-stick cooking spray to keep candy from sticking as you’re putting together your kabobs.

• If your skewer starts to stick, it will help to wipe it off after each candy addition.

• For safety purposes, you can cut off the sharp end of your skewers once all the candy is added.

• Also for safety, use your discretion and monitor younger children with the sharp ended skewers.
