When I was a kid, I’d go to my Gramma Polly’s house the week before Halloween and help her stuff treat bags to hand out to all of the trick-or-treaters. In my mind, I did this every year and stuffed tons of bags. In reality, I probably helped her a few times and judging by my enthusiasm for stuffing Halloween treat bags as an adult, I’m guessing I didn’t actually stuff all that many for Gramma Polly.
But it’s a strong memory of mine. She lived in a normal neighborhood (compared to my semi-rural childhood home in a neighborhood of few children, which meant Very Few Trick-or-Treaters), and we would often go to her house to trick-or-treat after hiking around our own neighborhood (and up really long driveways spaced very far apart!).
Side note: the upside to our trick-or-treating experience was that most homeowners knew they’d be lucky to see even four kids trick-or-treating, so instead of buying a big bag of candy they’d often buy full-sized candy bars, which was AWESOME.
Another random side note: one year my mom gave out toothbrushes and crayons to trick-or-treaters, and all three of them made fun of me at school the next day because LAME.
But I digress! I loved going to my grandmother’s house on Halloween, and I loved getting one of her treat bags, stuffed to the brim with Smarties, Snickers, and Dubble Bubble. It was THE BEST.
With two kids in school and Halloween parties that require them to bring treats for all the kids, I’ve got my work cut out for me (OH! And I have TOTALLY sent crayons and other non-candy goodies to these events, so…I see where my mom was coming from that one fateful Halloween).
All that to say…I made these cute little Halloween Treat Bags, and I’m sharing the printable with you here today! 🙂
You can download your free printable “Have a Nice Bite!” Treat Labels here. I made these for Halloween, but they’d also be great for a monster party, too!
Here’s everything you need to exactly recreate this (you can get everything from the links below, some of which are affiliate).
- Free Printable “Have a Nice Bite!” Labels
- Card stock to print on (could also print on regular paper, but the card stock really holds up better)
- 3×4 Treat Bags (if you don’t buy them online, look for them in the baking section at Michaels or Walmart)
- Washi Tape
- Candy (I chose the candy I did just because of the colors and how well it fit in the bags)

I love these! We don’t get trick or treaters, but these are great for goody bags for my daughter’s class.
I’m dropping by from the Lou Lou Girls link party. These treat bags are so stinkin’ cute! I’ve pinned them so I can make them — I want to be a grandma like YOUR grandmother. Your treat bags will help me be that cool grandma! Thanks for sharing.

This is such an amazing idea! Thanks for sharing it. I’m Anita visiting from Showcase Your Talent Thursday.
I like the Halloween labels. I would probably use it for the same reason.
I would use these for our trick-or-treat candy!
I’d use them to hand out to trick or treaters, as we shouldn’t get too many kids around here either.
So cute! I’d hand them out with candy! <3
They would be good for a party.
This looks absolutely adorable! Pinned and tweeted. You always bring the most amazing creations to our party. Thank you! I hope to see you again, this Monday at 7 pm. It wouldn’t be a party without you! Lou Lou Girls
