Candy Corns have taken center stage in Grow a Garden’s Halloween update – a limited-time currency bursting with spooky charm and sweet rewards. Here’s how to gather them fast, trade them for exclusive event items, and make the most of the holiday madness before they vanish.
How to Obtain Candy Corns in Grow a Garden
Candy Corns can be obtained by participating in the Halloween event challenges and completing themed quests during the event period. They often drop from harvesting special seasonal crops or defeating event creatures scattered around your garden. Additionally, you can trade with other players or exchange event tokens for Candy Corns at the seasonal shop. Keep an eye on limited-time rewards, as some tasks grant larger amounts for completing daily or weekly objectives related to the Halloween theme.
To get the Candy Corns in Grow a Garden Halloween event update, players can take two routes. Here are both the methods you can use to get them.
1. Witch Cauldron Leaderboard
The Ghoul Garden has brought the Witch NPC to the middle area in Grow a Garden. Players can submit random crops to the Witch, and in return, she will give Candy Corns. Remember, you must fill the cauldron 100% to get the rewards.
There is also a chance to get Spooky Eggs or other rewards. The amount of Candy Corns or other rewards you get depends on where you are in the cauldron leaderboard. After the Witch’s rewards are distributed, the cauldron will go on a cooldown.
2. Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin NPC
Alongside the Witch NPC, there is another way to get Candy Corns in Grow a Garden Ghoul Garden update. For that, you must wait two hours for the Pumpkin NPC to spawn on the right side of the Witch. Once the Jack-O-Lantern spawns, interact with it for the exclusive rewards.
The rewards you gain are similar to Witch, but there is a chance for the Pumpkin to give nothing instead. Jack-O-Lantern stays available for 5 minutes.

How to get Dark Sprien pet for mutations
Dark Spriggan (likely intended as “Dark Sprien”) is a Halloween event pet in Grow a Garden that applies the Blight mutation to nearby crops, boosting their value up to 8x and aiding Candy Corn farming efficiency. Obtain it from the Creepy Critter Shop inside the Ghoul Garden’s Halloween Market using Candy Corn currency.
Acquisition Cost
The base Dark Spriggan costs around 10,000-15,000 Candy Corn, though exact pricing varies by level or variant; a gamepass version is available for 349 Robux as a faster alternative. Higher-level versions reduce its ability cooldown from 22 minutes (low level) to 10 minutes, increasing mutation frequency to 30%.
Usage for Mutations
Equip the pet near high-value crops like Sugar Apples; it randomly applies Blight (15-30% chance based on level), which stacks with other mutations like Pestilence for rare Necrotic effects. Level it up continuously for optimal performance, and trade via Discord for post-event access since it’s now limited-time.
