If you need a last-minute Halloween snack that looks festive but takes almost no effort, this Candy Corn Snack Tray is your new go-to!

All you need are three simple ingredients, and you can put it together in under five minutes. It’s the perfect addition to a class party, family movie night, or neighborhood get-together before trick-or-treating.

🍬 What You’ll Need

  • Mini marshmallows – for the white tip of the candy corn
  • Mandarin oranges (fresh or canned) – for the orange middle section
  • Pineapple chunks – for the yellow base

🧺 How to Make It

  • Grab a large round or triangle-shaped tray or plate.
  • Start at the top and add a layer of mini marshmallows.
  • In the middle section, spoon in the mandarin oranges.
  • Finish the bottom section with pineapple chunks to complete the candy corn look.
  • Serve immediately or cover and chill until ready to serve.

That’s it! You’ve got a bright, fun Halloween snack that looks like a showstopper but takes just a few minutes to assemble.

🧑 Substitution Ideas

You can use just about anything that matches the white, orange, and yellow color scheme!

  • White: bananas, whipped cream, popcorn, yogurt pretzels
  • Orange: peach slices, cantaloupe, orange jelly beans
  • Yellow: mango, yellow bell pepper slices, corn, cheese cubes

πŸ‘» Why We Love This Snack

  • No baking, no prep, no mess.
  • Easy to scale for parties or playdates.
  • Works for both sweet or savory spreads (try fruits for kids or cheese and crackers for adults!).

πŸ’‘ Party Tip

Arrange the tray in a triangle or use a large round platter to really mimic the candy corn shape. Add a few candy eyeballs or festive sprinkles around the edges for a little Halloween magic.
