Have you ever wondered where your neighbors were getting those waxy chocolate coins and generic bubble gum eyeballs? Dollar Tree. I’m no economist, but buying a massive bag of candy at Dollar Tree for only $1.25 seems like a big money saver if you’re expecting to have costumed neighbor children beg you for free candy on Halloween this year. But hear me out: Dollar Tree Halloween candy isn’t just off-brand gummies and questionable-looking chocolates. They have name brands, too (although they are a little pricier, sorry). What we have here is a mix of both—just like a classic Halloween trick-or-treat haul. Here’s the best Halloween at Dollar Tree we spotted on a recent visit.
- Halloween-Themed Bubblegum Eyeballs Candy
-
How is Dollar Tree able to sell a bag of 35 bubble gum eyeballs for $1.25? I simply do not know! What I can tell you is you need to rush down to the nearest Dollar Tree right now so you don’t miss out on the eyeball deal of the century. You can give out one gum ball to every trick or treater that comes by and only spend like five bucks! Sure, a gumball isn’t going to get you cred like a full-size candy bar would, but it’s enough to keep your house from getting TP’d and that’s enough for me when it comes to cheap Dollar Tree Halloween candy.
- Colombina Spooktacular Gummies Mix
-
Don’t let this Dollar Tree Halloween candy fool you. It may be generic, but dare I say it’s more exciting than any brand name gummy out there. (Unless you’re talking the California kind of gummies, but let’s be honest, no one is passing those out on Halloween.) This mix comes with Bloody Cherry skulls, Screamy Watermelon owls, and Ruddy Raspberry ghosts (which are purple, even though “ruddy” means red). This Dollar Tree Halloween candy mix is perfect if you’re one of those neighbors who goes all out with the decorations and needs something just as spooky to match.
- Sour Patch Kids and Swedish Fish Minis Spooky Candy Mix
-
This is a step up from the spooktacular gummies, but you’re definitely sacrificing a little bit of Halloween flair. What really makes this mix spooky? Well, the Sour Patch Kid pictured on the bag is wearing an eye patch! Beyond that? Not much… but it’s still a solid mix to give out on Halloween. It gets a little variety into the equation, which is not as common as you’d think when we’re talking about Dollar Tree Halloween candy. Admittedly not everyone loves sour candy and not everyone loves Swedish Fish but the odds that someone coming to your door will like one of the two is pretty high!
- Goetze’s Caramel Cow Tales Minis
-
Cow Tales don’t exactly scream Halloween, but in my defense, Dollar Tree did have them in the Halloween section and they’re the minis, so you could easily hand these out to trick-or-treaters. They’re going to get so many chocolates and gummies—they might actually be excited to get a weird stick of caramel that’s filled with cream! If you’re shopping for Dollar Tree Halloween candy, we encourage you to think outside the box.
- Bloody Bites Watermelon Vampire Novelty Candy
-
What you get in this bag are plastic vampire fangs that come with oozing watermelon flavored candy that looks like blood. I hate to make teachers’ jobs even harder than they already are, but just imagine how cool your kid will be when they bring enough of these for everyone in their class. Pretty freaking cool, if you ask me. I don’t want to say you’ll lock in their spot for prom royalty as early as the second grade, but I’m not not saying that. There are only seven fangs per bag from Dollar Tree, so just make sure you plan accordingly so no one’s left out of the fun.
- Assorted Character Candy Sticks
-
Okay, the full name of this product is “Assorted Halloween-Themed Licensed Character Candy Sticks,” which appears to be legalese for candy cigarettes with superheroes on the box. Just when you thought we couldn’t get any cooler than bloody vampire fangs, Dollar Tree Halloween candy came to impress. Candy cigarettes make you feel cool, but in a way that I truly don’t believe leads to actually smoking. And if the pipeline were real, these would be candy vapes, so don’t overthink it and just have fun with a throwback candy.
- Assorted Mars Favorites Mini Chocolate Candy Bars
-
I couldn’t make a list of Halloween candy at Dollar Tree and not recommend the perfect assortment of chocolate candies to hand out. This Mars mix comes with mini 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, Snickers, and Twix, which is just enough variety for a handful to please any kid coming by and have an odd one out for their parents to munch on (personally, my mom always got the 3 Musketeers out of my bag).
