Halloween is the one day of the year that is centered around all things candy, so if you’re having a Halloween party or
some sort of Halloween Soiree it’s only right that you have a Halloween Candy Buffet; after all Halloween is the KING of candy! If you’ve read my How to Create a Candy Buffet post you are already familiar with the 7 steps I like to follow when creating any candy buffet (if you haven’t read it you should definitely check it out). Since I’ve already went through the 7 steps to create a candy buffet I’ll skip the details and get right to the fun stuff, but as a side note, if you have any questions or would like additional tips on creating a candy buffet please use my previous candy buffet post as a guide!
Alright, now let’s get some ideas!! Below are a few FABULOUS Halloween Candy Buffet Inspirations to get your creativity flowing!!

Now that you’ve seen some fabulous Halloween Candy Buffets and have gotten a few ideas you can get started creating your own Halloween Candy Buffet. The first thing you need to do is determine your color scheme. The colors for Halloween are Orange, Black and White but if you want to add a splash of color you can incorporate some of the non-traditional Halloween colors like purple and green.
Table Linens: To create a foundation for your candy buffet you should start with a tablecloth. You can use a solid colored tablecloth such as orange, black or purple, take a layered approach by adding a table runner atop a solid tablecloth or use a Halloween themed tablecloth. Here are a few ideas

Candy Jars: Now think about what you want to serve. Is your Halloween Candy Buffet going to include deserts or will it only have candy? If you are going to have desserts as well you should incorporate serving trays with varying sized candy jars. For the candy you can use mason jars, apothecary jars or even make your own. I love these DIY Candy Jars that Heather at At the Picket Fence made.
Decorations: Then you can determine what type of decorations you want to display on your Halloween Candy Buffet. If you want to DIY your decorations here are some fun and festive DIY Halloween Decoration Tutorials.
