No tricks here. This Halloween you have the option to hand out glow in the dark treats.

Reese’s, Kit Kat, and Hershey’s have upped the fun factor for trick-or-treaters this year. Wrappers of the three iconic chocolates are getting a make-over for the holiday season.

Snack-sized versions of the trio will now come in limited edition glow in the dark wrappers in 9.35-ounce packages (about $2.99 each).

Hosts passing out the candy should switch out their porch light with a black light bulb to best view the boo-tiful candies. Placing small black lights in or around the bowl will also achieve the glow effect.

Each brand is also launching new festive foils for their miniature size snacks. Reese’s will don ghost and skulls, Kit Kats will be dressed as ghosts, skeletons, and sheriffs, and Hershey’s Kisses will sport mini ghosts, spiders, and bats.

Whether you’re handing out candy this year, or eating a bag of it yourself, you won’t be alone on this freaky holiday. According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween spending hit a record high in 2017 with sales reaching $3.4 billion is candy sales.
