These mini black candy cauldrons are absolutely perfect for stuffing with candy and giving as gifts at a halloween party or just for fun to your childs friends! I will have them full of candies and set out all over the house during our Halloween party and when the guests are ready to go, they can fill them up and take them home! Perfect! These are very well made and super sturdy! They are about the size of a tennis ball and hard plastic. you could also use them for gold coins during St. Patricks day! The little leprechauns will love them!
