Though Dunkin's Halloween menu is always news-worthy, its new Spider Donut truly is a slam dunk. Featuring not just one, but two donuts, this adorably spooky creation is sure to delight people of all ages.
Like many other QSR chains, the arrival of October means the debut of special Halloween menus. For Dunkin', this new menu includes a Spider Donut that actually looks like an eight-legged insect. To create the seasonal creature, Dunkin' topped one of its classic yeast donuts with orange frosting and then created a spider out of a glazed chocolate Munchkin. To complete the illusion, chocolate drizzles are used to create the legs and white icing is used for the eyes.
If the new Spider Donut leaves you feeling a little queasy, Dunkin's 2019 Halloween menu has plenty of less spooky Halloween donut options.
