These are confectionery items, typically small in size, that are associated with the Halloween holiday and encased in a separate covering for each piece. A common example includes miniature chocolate bars, hard candies, or chewy fruit-flavored treats each sealed within its own wrapper.
The practice of providing these items enhances hygiene by minimizing direct contact with the treats themselves, a significant consideration during public celebrations. Moreover, individual packaging aids in portion control and extends the shelf life of the sweets, contributing to reduced waste. Historically, the move toward this practice reflects evolving safety standards and a growing awareness of public health concerns within communal events.
