Cold Stone Creamery recently unveiled its 2024 Halloween menu and this year's offerings include two exciting new Halloween-themed Creations: the 31 Nights of Monster Mash Creation and the Treat or Treat Creation.
Perfect for anyone looking to get their Halloween candy fix, both of Cold Stone's new Creations are overflowing with sweet treats. The new 31 Nights of Monster Mash Creation consists of Classic Cookie Dough ice cream studded with M&M's Minis Peanut Butter candies, oats, and chocolate chips. On the other hand, the new Treat or Treat Creation features Boo Batter ice cream (which is Cold Stone's Cake Batter ice cream but in a spooky black hue) mixed with Kit Kat pieces, Halloween Oreo cookie pieces, and M&M's Milk Chocolate candies.
Additionally, Cold Stone is also serving up a Halloween shake and a Halloween ice cream cupcake.
