File these centerpieces under “so easy you can practically make them in your sleep” and “ so gorgeous guests will have no choice but to compliment them”. Step one: dust off some large hurricane vases and place a white pillar candle in each one. Step two: sort M&M’S Ghoul’s Mix candies by color. Step three: fill the vases with M&M’S, one color at a time to create a layered effect. Beautiful decorations don’t get much simpler than this.

3 Easy Halloween Party Decorations Featuring M&Ms

The end of summer doesn’t mean you have to put your small terracotta pots into storage. Give them purpose this fall by incorporating them into your Halloween party place settings. Start by covering them in a quick coat of paint and, once dried, filling them with the M&M’S Ghoul’s Mix candies of your choice. Write each guest’s name on the name card and tape it to a festive Halloween straw so it can float above the candy pot.

We’re firm believers that the best party favors are the ones we can eat. And in the spirit of trick or treating, may we suggest laying out a spread of festive Halloween candies so guests can put together a bag of their favorite treats. A selection of M&M’S, Skittles, Twix, Snickers and more is sure to delight every palate at your party. Arrange them in black cauldrons or other serving bowls to match your decor theme, placing a different type of candy in each one so guests can mix and match at their leisure.
