Describe your Halloween celebration idea:
I saw an example of this simple craft idea at school, perched on a shelf near the cafeteria tray line area.

It's a wide-mouth jar, (pint-sized), filled primarily with malted milk balls...but peeking out near the top of the jar are 2 of those foil-wrapped chocolate "eyeball" candies! Totally Goofy!!

What steps should be taken to organize this celebration?
You'll need canning jars, lids, and rims, unless you have folks collect and bring clean, empty jars from home (recycling! bonus!...) Plastic Peanut Butter Jars are nice 'cuz they are unbreakable...and we've learned that the trick to washing those in the dishwasher is to have 'em on the top rack, with a 'no heat dry' cycle. (They seem to survive all the washing, but have a meltdown if heat-dried.)

Circles of fabric in Halloween orange n' black prints can be cut w/pinking shears, and tied on to the top of the jar with twine, or raffia. (Use scraps o' fabric, if you have 'em.)

Additional comments:
The candy doesn't particularly have to be malted milk balls, but anything with more than one color is going to be too distracting for the Eyeballs to stand out. You could try one color of jelly beans---sour apple green might be Cool! Cherry Red...black licorice...

In the chocolate venue, we found Reeces Bits, Almond Joy bits, and others that were pretty much round n' brown-tone. (For a gift, it may be best to attach a gift tag with the name of the candy/Ingredient Label glued on it; some people have allergies to things like nuts, coconut...) I guess the key is to pick the candy based upon what you think the recipient would enjoy most. In our family, Grandma wouldn't care for gumdrops or jelly beans, 'cuz of her dentures, and Dad would favor the Reeces Bits.
