candy tin

Metal treat box

A candy tin is a small metal container, typically decorative, used for storing or selling candy.

These tins often feature colorful designs and are reusable, making them collectible: She kept buttons in an old candy tin.

The term applies both to commercial packaging and to any small tin repurposed for sweets.
