Although this Halloween season might look different than previous years, Duncan Hines is making it easy to have Halloween fun at-home with its new, reformulated baking mixes. The brand offers a range of "[spooktacular" recipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloween-menu-items) like the Mummy Wrap Cupcakes, Spooky Surprise Cupcakes, and Pop Rocks Cupcakes made from quality ingredients and with no artificial flavors.

Moreover, in an effort to be more accessible to all, the brand has made some changes to its mixes. For those looking to avoid dairy, either due to dietary restrictions or lifestyle choices, [Duncan Hines'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duncan-hines-epic-baking) new reformulated collection features many [dairy-free options](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unreal-halloween-pack) as well as products that are certified Pareve Kosher.

Fans can get their hands on the full line of refreshed products at major retail locations across Canada.
