Sabrina’s Halloween Candy Recipe

The best part of Halloween Candy Skewers is how creative you can get. Mix and match candies to create colorful, tasty combinations. You can even coordinate the colors with classic Halloween shades like orange, black, purple, green, and white for an extra spooky touch. I’ve served these skewers on fake cobwebs, on the black netting, on the gravestone or even poked into the sides of Styrofoam characters and they are ALWAYS a hit. Tasty, easy, and cute. They’re incredibly easy to assemble, require no baking, and can be customized with everyone’s favorite candies! They will be a spooky favorite!

Notes from Sabrina

Use gummy candy! Foil wrapped chocolates are easy to skewer and have built in safeguards against cracking apart! Also, be sure to keep the skewers saran wrapped or in a closed container until you are ready to serve or the gummy candy will harden.

About This Recipe

I got the candies for the Halloween Skewers from my local grocery store. Gather the spookiest candies you can and cut some regular food skewers in half. Since the “serving size” seemed to be 3-4 pieces of candy on each bag I sort of aimed for that on the skewers so I wouldn’t feel so guilty loading them up. I pretty much used all the pointy skewers for this recipe because I was nervous the gummies would tear/break. Whether you’re filling party favor bags, creating a dessert table, or surprising your family with a spooky treat, Candy Halloween Skewers are a simple way to add extra fun to Halloween!

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t use candies whose textures are similar to candy corn. I tried it a half dozen different times and it ALWAYS cracks.
  • Try to stay away from unwrapped chocolates, they crack or may bloom from exposure.
  • I tend to avoid marshmallows because they seem to be messier (especially Peep type marshmallows with sanding sugar).
  • Try not to make these while you’re hungry. I had way more sour pumpkins when I started than I had on skewers when I was done. Oops!
