Dunkin’ debuts Halloween-inspired menu and Munchkin bucket

Dunkin’ is ready for the spooky season.

The chain announced its new Halloween-inspired menu – including a festive Munchkins bucket.

The lineup, which will be available October 16, includes a Potion Macchiato layered with espresso and milk in a vibrant, purple marshmallow ube flavor, available hot or cold.

Dunkin’s new Spider Specialty Donut looks eerily like a spider, this year with purple frosting and topped with a glazed Munkins Chocolate Donut Hole, with chocolate slides like spider legs and white rain for eyes.

And the most anticipated of the season: the Halloween Munchkins bucket, a purple bucket illustrated with Halloween art. The bucket can be filled with a variety of 50 Munchkin items – including new sprinkle-covered Munchkins for Halloween.

Dunkin’ isn’t the only chain with a bucket that can be used to collect candy this Halloween. McDonald’s announced the return of Boo Buckets this season as part of their Happy Meal.

On top of the new tricks and treats, Dunkin’s 6-foot inflatable Spider Donut is returning for a second season. The $55 inflatable is similar to the all-you-can-eat Spider Specialty Donut.

Dunkin’ is also bringing back the DunKings costumes worn by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Tom Brady in their Super Bowl commercial so fans can dress up as Dunkin’s royalty for Halloween. The original jacket ($60) and pants ($60), sold separately, are available while supplies last.

There’s also a set of DunKids overalls ($80) for little donut shop fans, and a full DunKings outfit inspired by overalls, complete with a long-sleeve shirt, bucket hat and sunglasses (44, 99 dollars). A fuzzy bucket hat is also sold separately for $40.
