Why is candy part of Halloween?

The tradition of “trick-or-treat” (literally: “candy or your life”) originates from Irish and Scottish folk customs, where people went door to door with songs or prayers in exchange for food. Irish immigrants brought the custom to the United States, where in the twentieth century it evolved into the modern-day trick-or-treating: children dressed as witches, monsters, or ghosts go door to door and receive candy in exchange for a spooky joke or rhyme. Those who have no candy at home risk a mischievous prank. That is why the giving out of candy has become so inextricably linked to the holiday.

The tradition is now well-established in the Netherlands as well. More and more children go door to door with a bucket or bag, and more and more households decorate their front doors and gardens spookily and ensure there is plenty of candy in the house. Halloween candy is therefore not only a treat, but also a social ritual that connects neighbors.

Our Halloween candy: from sour and sweet to creepily scary

Handing out Halloween candy: here's how to do it smartly

A well-stocked candy bowl prevents panic as soon as the first children ring the doorbell. A few practical tips:

1. Choose individually wrapped candy. That is more hygienic, stays fresh longer, and is easy to hand out in small portions.
2. Count on at least 2 to 3 items per child. On a busy street, you can easily have 50 to 100 children visiting; it is better to buy a little too much than too little.
3. Think about allergies. More and more parents are paying attention to nut-free or low-allergen treats. Further on, you can read where to find that candy with us.
4. Combine flavors. A mix of sweet, sour, and creepily shaped candy appeals to the widest range of children and teenagers.
5. Order on time. Around mid-October, orders at many online shops increase rapidly; those who order on time prevent all their favorite candy from being sold out.
