Pick Your Poison Halloween Candy or Bar Cart
Who doesn’t love a Halloween bar cart? How about a “Pick Your Poison” bar cart featuring alcohol or candy? Sign me up!
Last year was filled with good intentions of making a Halloween bar cart! Then many other projects got in the way and the black utility cart I purchased sat in my garage.
Well this year, finally I put that bar cart to good use and came up with a fun theme “Pick Your Poison”!
Yes, alcohol or candy – which is your poison?
I’m here to show you all of the fun ways you can set up a Halloween bar cart for a party or for trick or treating!
Creating a Halloween Bar Cart
As I mentioned, last year I bought a great black metal rolling cart and unfortunately it sat in my garage getting dusty.
I also grabbed some fun Halloween bottles at CVS last year and they sat in my garage too.
Sad, I know, but that is how life goes sometimes!
This year it was game on and I was going to get my rear in gear! I gave the black cart a thorough cleaning and a fresh new coat of Rustoleum black spray paint.
Then got to thinking, what is the theme of this Halloween trick or treat cart?
Well, I had the candy jars and then I found some cool skull shot glasses and poof “Pick Your Poison” was born!
It’s such a fun theme because it incorporates candy and alcohol plus witches, ravens, toxic drinks, and a box of spells to concoct that “poison”.
Yes, I had a good time with this project!

Items to Consider for a “Pick Your Poison” Bar Cart
Did you know that Halloween decorating gets bigger and earlier every year?
Wild right, but when you walk into ANY home decor and even home improvement retailer they have a ton of Halloween merchandise and that assortment keeps growing!
There are a TON of options to add to your Halloween decor and I’ve narrowed down items that are a must for a Pick Your Poison Bar Cart!
Items sell out fast, so if you LOVE IT buy when they are in stock for this year or next!
Black Rolling Cart
The rolling feature is so nice because you can load it up and roll it out the door on Halloween night or prominently feature it during a Halloween party.
Witch Accessories
Think hats, brooms, ravens, potion books, cauldrons, and even crystal balls! Anything to set the tone that some serious magic is happening on this Halloween bar cart.
Poison and Potion Bottles
It is fun thinking about toxic concoctions and what to put on your cart. Mix jars with candy and alcohol! I even found a great potion sticker set that you can use to apply to clear bottles.
Shop fun poison and potion bottles!
Skulls and Skeletons
Of course you need skulls to represent the toxic things going on in this bar cart! Any kind will do to set the scary vibe.
Scary or Fun Drinkware
If someone picks the liquid poison, you need something to serve it in and I found some CUTE signs to add to the Halloween cart. They are chalkboard, so you can name your crafty cocktails!
Pick Your Poison Halloween Cart
Now for the final reveal and all the details! Seriously, you can tell that I had the best time crafting this bar cart.
I wrote the “Pick Your Poison” in chalk pen so it can be removed for another theme next year or maybe I’ll stick with this one 🙂
You can see my little twisted sense of humor with the witch legs sticking out of the candy bucket!
The raven is like “what happened to my witch?”…love it! I crack up every time I think about it.
Plus I finally got to use those jar I bought and fill them with fun treats like bat hearts (or mini sour patch kids)!
Then arsenic candy corn – oh the best place to hide that poison.
Then there is the adult “poison” section, with tequila of course!
The best poison on a bar cart at a Halloween party! On top I’ll likely have a bottle of red wine and serve it in the fun skull goblet and skeleton glasses.
Every Halloween I dress up as a witch for the trick or treaters and will have a glass of red wine in hand.
Now I have fun themed “goblet” to use. The older kids (you know those 12 year olds with a t-shirt for a costume).
I scare them by telling them I’m drinking “children’s blood”. Ha ha.
A “Pick Your Poison” bar cart is such a FUN way to bring Halloween into your home.
I love this theme idea for a party or just for the night everyone is out Trick or Treating!
Here is mine Pick Your Poison Candy Cart for just the kids with candy, so you can make it what you want!
