Dunkin' is gearing up for Halloween with the return of the fan-favorite Spider Donut, a Halloween Munchkins Bucket (now with a purple Spider Donut-inspired lid), and an all-new Candy Bar Signature Latte. This limited-time beverage blends rich espresso with some of the best flavors that come out of a trick-or-treat haul—chocolate, toffee, pretzel and peanut butter—plus whipped cream, mocha drizzle and crumbled candy bar pieces. Available hot or iced, the Candy Bar Signature Latte is an indulgent Halloween drink that delivers an experience that's as sweet as it is nostalgic.
Alongside the new seasonal menu, Dunkin' is dropping a merch collection that feeds into loyal customers' love of the Spider Donut, and it can be found online and at participating Dunkin’ restaurants, while supplies last.
