The candy tray is an integral part of the Halloween snack buffet. To decorate it well, you usually have the choice between two themes: spooky accessories that chill the blood or decorative pumpkins painted in festive colors. And if the orange-black-white trio of colors is a sure bet for a successful Halloween decor, shades like green, red and ultraviolet are not to be missed either. In fact, they are very easy to create with gelatin candies, food coloring or natural ingredients (wasabi, melted chocolate, homemade vegetable butter, tomato sauce). In short, the ideas for transforming a simple tray into a monstrous meeting are many.
