Every Halloween the same sweets turn up in every trick-or-treat bag. If you want Halloween sweets that actually get a reaction, go sour. Barnetts Mega Sours have an extreme sour coating that lasts around 20 seconds, then a fizzy sherbet centre, and the faces people pull are pure horror film.
Here are five easy Halloween party games built around sour sweets. They work for sleepovers, family parties and grown-up Halloween nights.
1. The Zombie Sour Challenge
Our Halloween special. Line up three Mega Sours: Raspberry, Zombie Bombz and Zombie Bombz Hot Chilli. Each player keeps every sweet in until the sour coating wears off. Anyone who spits one out is turned into a zombie and has to walk like one for the rest of the game.
Everything you need is in the Zombie Sour Challenge 3 Pack. Full rules are on the Zombie Sour Challenge page.
2. Poker Face Graveyard
Everyone takes a Mega Sour at the same time and tries to keep a straight face. The first person to flinch "dies" and lies down on the floor. Last one standing wins. Film it in slow motion for the best results.
3. Trick or Sour
Mix a few Mega Sours into a bowl of ordinary sweets and let guests pick blind. Whoever lands a sour has to do a forfeit or tell a scary story while the sour wears off.
4. Name That Flavour (in the Dark)
Turn the lights off and hand out a Mega Sour. Players guess the flavour once the sour coating fades. With 10 flavours, from Apple to Cola, it's harder than it sounds.
5. The Hot Chilli Dare
Save this one for the bravest guest. Zombie Bombz with a Hot Chilli Twist goes sour first, then brings the heat. Contains chilli, so it's not for anyone who avoids spicy food.
Halloween sweets for trick-or-treat bags
Mega Sours come in 104g bags, so they're easy to share out into party bags for older kids and grown-ups. For bigger parties, our 3 and 4 pack bundles give you a mix of flavours. Browse all our Halloween sweets.
