Fan-Favorite Ice Cream Topping Reimagined as Spooky New Treat Perfect for Fall

Just in time for spooky season, Carvel is transforming a fan-favorite ice cream topping into a whole new sweet treat for its fans.

This fall, the ice cream company is bringing forth a brand-new character cake, Crunchie Munchie Monster, which was the winner in last year's “The Next Original Character Contest.” Voters had the opportunity to choose which character would become Carvel’s next icon, and Crunchie Munchie Monster came out on top.

"Layered with Carvel’s legendary vanilla and chocolate soft serve and topped with smooth milk chocolate fudge, cone horns and signature Chocolate Carvel Crunchies™, Crunchie Munchie Monster serves up a delightful crunch with every bite," a press release shared directly with Parade promised.

The new menu addition arrives on Sept. 30, 2024, and is available at Carvel locations throughout the fall season.

On Instagram, eager fans reacted to the news of the Halloween-themed cake's release with excitement, writing things like "YEAHHHHH," "Yum!" and "I love him 🥺🥺🥺," in the comment section of the brand's debut social media post.

And luckily, the crunchy chocolate-coated cake isn't the only new treat available for lovers of frozen goodies.

Just last week, Oreo fans were elated to hear the news that the brand is debuting a unique, poppable dessert, Oreo Bites, that's due out in stores in early 2025.

Additionally, Dippin' Dots is reviving a fan-favorite treat of its own from its flavor graveyard. Including pumpkin-orange hued icy balls and featuring clumps of Oreo cookie crumble, Spookies 'n Cream is back!
