Recipe Help

How should I arrange the different candies?

Place apple-flavored gummies, jelly beans, and hard candies in distinct sections on a large platter. Arrange poison-themed candies like licorice and grape gummies separately for contrast, with decorative eyeballs and red shards scattered for effect.

Can I use other candies besides the ones listed?

Yes, feel free to substitute with other fruit-flavored or colored candies to match your event’s theme or personal preference.

Is there a way to make the platter more dramatic?

Using dry ice under the serving platter creates a misty, spooky atmosphere. Be sure to handle dry ice safely and keep it separate from the candies.

How long can the candy platter be stored?

Cover and store in a cool, dry place if not serving immediately, but it’s best enjoyed fresh to maintain texture and appearance.

Are there allergen considerations with these candies?

Check labels carefully as some candies may contain wheat, gelatin, nuts, soy, or milk. Always verify allergens before serving.
