A new collection of Dunkin' merchandise launched by the cafe chain has been exciting fans for the Halloween season upon us. It is comprised of limited-edition goodies and apparel that will be rolling out throughout American markets. The Spider Donut is revamped as it is now complete in a bright purple frosting and has chocolate drizzle to form the legs and then white icing for the bright eyes. The team also unveiled the Potion Macchiato with rich espresso and milk with an ube marshmallow flavor -- it is available hot and cold.
The Halloween Munchkins Buckle is purple and adorned with Halloween accents to hold 50 assorted donut holes. Dunkin's VP of Category Management shares, “At Dunkin’, we love keeping guests fueled through every season, and Halloween is no exception. Whether it’s picking up a Munchkins Bucket for trick-or-treating or sharing festive donuts with friends and family, we’ve got everything needed to make Halloween a little sweeter.” For the apparel, there is a tracksuit for adults, a tracksuit for kids, and a costume set.
