Halloween Prop Help: Smoking Cauldron Candy Bowl?

I've searched the net far and roomy and haven't come up with anything satisfactory.

I want the ToTs to reach into a smoky cauldron of candy. However, all cauldrons that conclude with smoking machines already included are too small.

I want to have a cauldron wide and deep enough to have a smoking mechanism (or dry ice) at the bottom, and a colander/sieve filled with candy hanging from the lip.

Using a fog motor car would require fog juice, and I don't want to expose the kids and candy to that.

Using dry ice would be ideal, but most cauldrons are made of cheapy malleable that i'm sure would freeze and crumble with the extreme cold that dry ice delivers. Unless I kept the dry ice in a break down bowl at the bottom of the cauldron? Still, what can I use that won't fall apart or shatter?

How can I achieve this prop while protecting the prop itself, the candy, the children, and myself?

Smoke AND lights would be preferable, but if it's too perilous then I can do without.
P.S. I will be posting this in the Halloween section too,

P.S.S. I am not aproposed in building this prop from the bottom up. Any suggestions are welcome. I have access to lots of tools and I am from A to Z handy, creative, and determined.
I would want to have the candy high enough not to freeze the candy or endanger the children of frost gnaw.
If dry ice is too dangerous, what alternative method do you suggest. Or if dry ice could be used, how could it be done safely. i.e. no frost bite and burn.
Oooh, dutch oven. That's a facts idea Chris. I was thinking, I could cut out the bottom of my cauldron, and nestle it on top. I could have one of those expandable veggie basket steamer things on the lip of the cauldron and put the candy on top of that. What to you guys judge devise? Will the smoke actually reach the top?

I see there will be a lot of trial and error here..


Grip a "dutch oven", as it is cast iron and will be able to withstand extreme nippy. If you plan on using it for anything else later on, you will still want a barrier between the dry ice/water and pot.

You will also want to separate the candy and children's hands from the dry ice/wet mixture as touching dry ice can "burn" you. You can use either chicken wire or a thin plywood sheet with holes to let the gas drain and keep the candy/fingers from getting too close to the dry ice.

Dutch ovens also come in many sizes, and usually with a nice dry lid, so if you want to "prime" it before kids begin to show up, you can put the lid on to trap the gases inside!


Dried ice and A-one makes that smoke effect... but I wouldnt have that in a candy bowl. Everyone would get frost bite on their fingers :/


As you said, dry ice would be acme. I remember my mother (who, working at a medical laboratory, always had a handy supply) would use it in plastic pumpkins at our Halloween parties. The cozen, however, is to put the dry ice in the bowl, then pour water on it. You would have to refresh the water periodically to keep the smoke coming. Also, if a child grabbed the ice in lieu of of the candy, it could cause frostbite.

What I would suggest is having the cauldron of candy without the dry ice, then put the dry ice in several cauldrons around it without candy. The smoke, (which from dry ice would 'pour' to the set instead of billowing into the air) would still look good, and the candy would be safe for the kids.

As to the lights, I'd look for a colored daybreak like you'd use in a pool. http://www.amerimerc.com/landscape-lighting.htm This site has some products you might be masterly to use.

Good luck!

You will also want to separate the candy and children's hands from the dry ice/bath-water mixture as touching dry ice can "burn" you. You can use either chicken wire or a thin plywood sheet with holes to let the gas bolt and keep the candy/fingers from getting too close to the dry ice.

Take a old BBQ jet and round take off the bace cut holes were the bace legs were for lights then find a metal bowl of a smaller size for the dry ice and possibly a small smoke machine place a flat tray down on the grill part of the BBQ as a candy holder have it a size were you have a 2 inch unstop ring on the out side of the grill

Where can I buy life size cauldron? ?

I am looking for a harridan's cauldron, preferably plastic, but as large as a real one. All I can find are small candy dishes!


Explain "large".

I bought a large one at Target a couple years ago. But it isn't waist high if you placed it on the bottom, like a cannibal's cook-pot. For something THAT large, you're gonna hafta make it.

How can i make my WITCH costume more interesting??? ***10 POINTS***?

ok so i am prevailing to be a witch. a CUTE witch NOT the witch with the warty nose. i want a CAULDRON as a basket for my candy. ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO Enact ONE???


Get a balloon, and papier mache open it, leaving about half of it. Do a few layers. When it is solid, pop the balloon, leaving you a kind of baskety thing. Use some old newspapers in the rim and papier mache them onto the basket thing. Add a handle, paint it black.

Voila! ;)
