It's the question that is on a lot of people's minds on 31st October - trick or treat? No matter what the age is, everyone wants that treat, don't they! Sweets are a great product to keep people enticed and especially when it comes to branded items they're something that definitely gets everyone smiling.
With Halloween, lurking in the distance, Apprintable has chosen our top 5 sweets for Trick or Treat. Sink your fangs into these delectable treats!
Hailing from Swizzels factory based in New Mills, Derbyshire, UK, these fizzy treats took the world by storm. As soon as you see that striking pallet of red, yellow and sky blue, you can just feel that fizzy sherbet sensation in your mouth, it's such a classic and dominates the market from 1955, you always know what you're getting is going to be a solid product!
These are a great example for Trick or Treat as you're getting both a treat and a trick, the sweetness is the treat and then the sherbet is the trick. A great combination that is ready for any Halloween party. Available in lemon or strawberry.

So these Candy Skulls Sweets are a bit of a new introduction, but look at them, they just scream Halloween a cream and strawberry combination which are due to cause quite a stir with anyone, its not your usual flavour so you'll probably have your guests wearing the same expression as the skull 😬and plus these can easily be branded with a company logo or just a theme/slogan of your party. Definitely not the norm, these will be a talking point as soon as they're handed out.

It's probably one of the most known sweets ever, even worldwide, drumsticks are loved by all and just make pretty much anyone's day! That red and yellow branding is reminiscent of the raspberry and milk combining to make an engaging and dominant sweet.

These are sure to put a smile on anyone's face this Halloween, everyone is always talking about these and it should be illegal to eat a love heart without seeing the message on it and telling others about them! They're a sociable treat which we just do not see going out of fashion, share the love this Halloween with these and get people talking!
A quick fact for you that you probably didn't know - Love Hearts are an updated version of a sweet in the Victorian-era called Conversation Lozenges (as pictured below)
As you can see it's obvious why they rebranded to the circles with hearts imprinted on them, they look so much more consistent and these look more like our attempt at baking biscuits rather than sweets, these shapes do not scream out love at all!

A twist on the infamous teeth & lips, our offering of Vampire Fangs are a great way to bring out the 5-year-old in all of us, those fangs are just asking to be put in your mouth in front of your teeth to mimic a vampire. Made from fruit flavoured jelly and topped off with a tag that is fully branded to your specifics, these are great for an office corporate party!

These are a confectionery that just confuses everyone. It's fun, you don't know what you're going to get, the packaging is as whacky as the sweets itself, launching under Nestle's Rowntree brand in 2009.
Coming in 4 different textures - regular foam, foam backed jelly, foamy sweets and liquid-filled foam-backed jelly, these are just a mix of craziness. Get your guests wondering what the hell theirs is, with that utterly confused face. We all know the exact one!
And the randomness doesn't stop with the flavours, the shape of the sweets can vary from sports cars to bow ties to flowers to even pigs! Which will definitely have people highlighting which one they have, they're just a sweet that really gets the conversation going.
