Halloween Dessert Table Sign


HALLOWEEN… the perfect time of year to cast a spell!
Of the SWEETEST kind, of course.

***
And these cute & easy Halloween treats + styling tips should do the trick! This dessert station is part of the Modern Witch Halloween Party I shared earlier this week.

Halloween Dessert Table Ideas and Signs

No Tricks, Just Treats!

When designing dessert stations at home, I believe in a mix of stylish, clever, and DOABLE.

As much as I can appreciate a grandiose sugar display, it’s also *scary* how quickly a slew of fancy treats and bulk candy can *RIP* your budget.

This treat station is a combo of simple homemade treats & popular store-bought items. (And everything was given a spooky name, of course!)

PB & Chocolate Witch Brooms

This first treat is my personal favorite. I’ve seen this idea done with pretzel sticks before, but my girls aren’t big fans of pretzels – unless they’re the hot, puffy-bread kind.

I stumbled on some Cookies & Cream Pocky Sticks while shopping and thought – YES! The perfect knobby-looking (and yummy tasting!) broomsticks for our mini Reese’s.

Peanut Butter Cup Witch Brooms Treat

Pocky Sticks are cookie biscuits and pretty delicate, so I poked a hole in the PB cups first to make it easier to insert them.

I also dipped the bottom of the sticks in green candy melts to make them extra secure.

The other homemade treats included “Graveyard Cupcakes” (chocolate-frosted cupcakes dipped in black sugar) and “Ooey-Gooey Goodies”.

And the rice krispie treats WERE definitely very ooey-gooey because we added lots and lots of extra marshmallows, following this recipe). Sprinkles were an easy way to give them a Halloween twist.

Witches + Skeletons

Even though Witches were the main theme of this party, skeletons played a big role, too – especially around the treat station!

My favorite decor piece on this table is the rounded-top wall shelf, which I stumbled on at Marshalls.  I dressed it up with a snake skeleton and some patterned paper (from my Modern Witch printable collection), which I used to line the shelves.

Printables played another significant role in the decorations. All the labels and signs from this party – including the “Hocus Pocus” design below – are available in my online store.

Halloween Mummy Munch Popcorn

The last homemade treat was this “Mummy Munch” popcorn—kettle corn mixed with white candy melts and sprinkles. (You can use butter-flavored popcorn, too.) It’s super easy to make and always a hit with the kids!

Witch Better Have My Candy

I knew I wanted to work this cheeky phrase into the candy station somewhere, and positioning it next to a skeleton holding a trick-or-treat bucket sounded JUST right!

Witch Better Have My Candy Halloween Decoration

I ordered the CANDY marquee letters on Amazon. (I debated which word to light up in marquee letters for this party but figured “candy” could be used for other occasions beyond Halloween, too!)

This mini candy display was super easy and very well received! The labels made all the difference, too. The jars looked so much more fun once they were on!

Kids always get excited about donuts, and powdered donut holes (or “Ghost Bites”) always *disappear* incredibly quickly!

This battery-powered eyeball decoration also added an element of fun! It has a motion sensor, so whenever guests came up to the table, it would pop open to “greet” them.

Here are a couple more decor tips worth mentioning…

Witch Leg Vases

The striped green and black “witch leg” vases are regular vases that I covered with striped tights. Just cut the feet off the tights; one pair will go a long way! You can use them on anything with a cylinder shape.

Inexpensive Large Hanging Decor

Floating witch hats and spooky draped fabric made a huge impact without breaking the bank! I used little clear 3M Command Wall Hooks to attach the fabric to various areas on the wall. (You can remove the hooks after the party without damaging your wall.)
