All Wound Up Mummy: Our All Wound Up mummy is crafted from hollow milk chocolate wrapped in smooth chocolate “bandages” and filled with delicious treasures. Crack it open to reveal gummy candy worms and milk chocolate Halloween candies ready to make their escape. Handmade with care for a hauntingly delightful experience that is perfect for gifting or enjoying yourself.
This Halloween, follow the Yellow Brick Road straight to Capilano Mall for an afternoon of Wickedly Wonderful Trick-or-Treating!

Keep your eyes peeled for a trio straight out of Oz—Elphaba, Glinda, and Fiyero—ready for magical meet-and-greets and frightfully fun photos. Trick-or-treating takes over the mall, so visit stores marked with a spooky decal to unearth ghoulish goodies (while supplies last). Guest Services will be handing out sweet treats, and the first 50 families to arrive will snag a $5 Capilano Mall gift card.
