Halloween is just over two weeks away, and Dunkin’ is celebrating the spooky season with new drinks and the return of popular bakery favorites.
On October 15, the chain announced the launch of a new Candy Bar Signature Latte and the return of the Spider Donut, a donut hole covered in chocolate and orange sprinkles, and the Halloween Munchkin Bucket.
Dunkin’ says the Candy Bar Signature Latte is a “decadent blend” of chocolate, toffee, pretzel and peanut butter flavors with rich espresso. Topped with whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and crushed candy bars, it will be available in hot and iced versions for a limited time.
The spider donut features a purple frosted donut topped with a glazed chocolate munchkin donut hole treat, the spider’s legs are covered in chocolate drizzle, and its eyes are covered in vanilla-flavored icing, according to the company.
The Halloween Munchkin Bucket, which debuted last year, is back with a new look featuring a purple spider donut-inspired lid. The black bucket features a “festive Halloween motif” featuring illustrations of spider donuts and costumed munchkins.
The bucket contains 50 assorted Munchkin Donut Hole Treats, including a new sprinkle-covered Halloween Munchkin. Additionally, Dunkin’ classic chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry frosted donuts are now available with a festive chocolate and orange blend instead of the usual sprinkles.
Dunkin also announces new merchandise collection
In addition to the menu items, Dunkin’ also announced a merchandise collection that the company says “encompasses the fanfare of spider donuts.” This merchandise will be on sale from 10 a.m. ET at DunkinRunsOnMerch.com and participating stores while supplies last.
