Trick or Chic? Candy Is the Must-Have Costume Accessory in 2025
It’s official — Halloween 2025 is all about statement snacks. From TikTok trends to street-style spooks, the hottest costumes this year come with one delicious twist: candy accessories. Whether you're dressing up as your fave pop diva, a spooky skeleton, or a viral internet meme, candy props, candy jewelry, and snacks are the accessory of the season.
Let’s unwrap the sweetest Halloween accessory trends — and show you exactly how to complete your costume with candy flair.
1. The Barbiecore Comeback: Pink, Plastic & Full of Pop Rocks
Barbie isn’t done with us yet. After dominating 2023, Barbiecore is still going strong in 2025 — only now, she’s got a snack stash.
Pair your pink wig and platform heels with:
- Pink Pop Rocks (hello, it's like an edible glitter bomb)
- Barbie-Branded Candy
- A mini purse filled with Hello Kitty Strawberry Marshmallows or Puccho Chews
Shop our full Pink Candy Collection to give your Barbie look a pinktastic bubblegum boost.
Candyologist Tip: Pop Rocks make great “Barbie dust” for TikTok costume reveals. Just don’t spill them on your Malibu heels!
2. Horror, But Make It Sweet: Edible Accessories for Classic Creeps
Draculas, witches, wizards, clowns, zombies — the ghoulish classics are back, but this year they’re dipped in chocolate.
Must-have candy props:
- Gummy body parts (eyeballs, brains, fingers) for a grotesquely good snack stash
-
Wax Fangs to channel your inner Dracula or Edward Cullen vibe
- Candy ooze (blood) tubes (edible gel, anyone?) for realistic dripping detail
- Harry Potter Collection muggle sweets that will add the perfect touch to your costume (the people who get it, will understand the references)
Explore our full Halloween Candy Collection to pack your pouch with seasonal scares.
Stat Snack: According to Google Trends, searches for “gummy body parts” spike by over 300% in October — don’t wait till they’re sold out!
3. Y2K Is Back: Fun Bags, Funky Fits, and Throwback Treats
The year is 2005. You're rocking butterfly clips, chunky jewelry, and the ultimate accessory: a candy necklace choker.
For your perfect Y2K costume:
- Wear a Ring Pop on each finger
- Turn a Nerds Rope into a waist chain
- Fill your mini shoulder bag with Baby Bottle Pops, Hubba Bubba Tape, and Push Pops (all the best candies from the 90s)
Browse our Retro Candy Collection to complete the throwback vibe.
TikTok Idea: Film a “What’s in My Bag?” costume edition with your candy haul. Tag us @candyfunhouse — the best one gets reposted!
4. Minimalist Goth? Add Licorice.
For our dark-hearted fashionistas — think black mesh, dark lipstick, and mysterious vibes — candy makes a surprisingly chic add-on.
Must-haves:
- Black Licorice Laces (tie them as bracelets or belt chains)
- Matte-black Raspberry Licorice Swedish Skull Sours
- Black Cats the perfect feline addition to your costume
Our Licorice Collection is where spooky meets sophisticated.
Candyologist Take: Licorice laces can also double as shoe laces or hair ties… until you get hungry.
Questions
Can I travel with candy accessories on Halloween night?
Absolutely! Just make sure they’re sealed or properly stored — our Halloween Candy Funbox & Halloween Trick-Or-Treat Bag make it easy.
What candy is best for kids’ costumes in Canada?
Look for nut-free, individually wrapped options like Smarties, Sour Patch Kids, and anything that is labelled clearly as allergy-friendly.
Is it safe to wear candy as accessories?
Yes — just make sure it’s fresh and avoid using anything that melts easily (sorry, Caramilk).
