You don’t have to ring the doorbell to get a bucket full of treats at Dunkin’ this Halloween. Starting October 16, head into Dunkin’ stores nationwide to score a whole bunch of Munchkins in a trick-or-treat-ready bucket. (Look out McDonald’s!)

The purple plastic buckets — which come with every 50-piece Munchkins orders, or can be purchased separately for $2 — are decorated with adorable illustrations of Munchkins treats dressed in Halloween costumes. The last time Dunkin’ offered their beloved Munchkins in a Halloween pail was about two decades ago, but this year’s offerings marks the first time the little donuts will be covered in sprinkles to match their larger counterparts.

If you’re looking to sip on something a little more sinister than your usual Dunkaccino, then you’ll want to check out the new Potion Macchiato. Available hot or iced, this purple-colored beverage features espresso floated atop marshmallow ube flavor and milk.

While the Halloween-inspired treats will only be on the menu through October 31, Dunkin’s fall menu is in full swing and includes pumpkin products (with pumpkin spice lattes making a comeback, of course) as well as Almond Cinnamon Coffee and Maple Sugar Bacon breakfast items.

But that’s not the only way Dunkin’ is sweetening up the season. Head over to the chain’s online store at ShopDunkin.com and you’ll find another new item celebrating one of Dunkin’s classic Halloween-themed treats in just about the biggest way possible, with its light-up, inflatable Spider Donut lawn decoration.

The outdoor decor version, like its real-life inspiration, features a chocolate Munchkin set in the middle of a frosted, glazed donut decorated with iced spider legs and a pair of eyes. (While the decoration features the usual orange background, purple frosting will top the edible version of the donut this year.) Each six-foot-tall donut sells for $55 and is available exclusively online. In the shop, you’ll also find new DunKings Halloween costumes and (anytime) tracksuits for grown-ups and DunKids tracksuits in children’s sizes for the first time.

All of the Halloween-ready wearables and decorations will be available starting October 1, while supplies last.
