Get ready for a spine-tingling surprise, because Colin the Caterpillar is getting a spooky makeover for Halloween 2024! The beloved British treat, which has been delighting shoppers for 34 years, is embracing the season of ghouls and goblins with a new, eerie twist.
This year’s limited-edition ‘Spine-tingling Surprise Colin’ is set to become a Halloween must-have. The classic chocolate sponge, filled with chocolate buttercream and coated in a milk chocolate shell, remains the same, but it’s the inside that’s getting a chilling makeover.
Say goodbye to the familiar chocolate buttercream, as this Halloween, Colin is getting a splash of red! The red buttercream gives the cake a spooky look that’s sure to send shivers down your spine. To complete the Halloween transformation, Colin’s face is getting a spooky makeover, taking on a skeleton-like appearance, and the sugar-coated chocolate beans on top are replaced with white chocolate bones.
Don’t worry, while the cake might look different, it’ll still taste as delicious as ever! And the spooky transformation isn’t just for the full-sized Colin. The ever-popular Mini Colin the Caterpillars are also getting in on the Halloween fun, with a red buttercream filling to match their big brother.
But the Halloween fun doesn’t stop there! M&S has also unveiled their Christmas version of Colin, ready to bring festive cheer to your holiday table. The ‘Sleigh Ride Colin’ is packed with festive chocolate sweets like Santa’s hat and a present box, and Colin himself is nestled inside a chocolate sleigh. M&S boasts that this version is their ‘most chocolatey’ Colin yet, and we can’t wait to get our hands on it.
Speaking of chocolatey delights, M&S has also been making waves with their viral Chocolate Shop Advent Calendar, and it’s not hard to see why! This calendar is jam-packed with a variety of delicious chocolates, each day offering a different treat. From the ever-popular Mini Whips, filled with fluffy marshmallow, to caramel-filled Chocolate Buttons, Blond Fudge Bites, and Peanut Butter and Caramel Chunkies, there’s something to satisfy every chocolate lover.
And the best part? You never know what you’re going to get! Unlike other advent calendars where you might know exactly what each day will hold, M&S’s calendar keeps things exciting with its variety of delicious surprises.
But it’s the Chunkies that truly steal the show. The perfect blend of salty, sweet, chewy, and crunchy, these little chocolate morsels are heavenly. And if the caramel buttons are hiding behind your door, you’ll be treated to not one, but two!
