Japan’s Mister Donut reveals spooky lineup of Halloween character doughnuts for fall

6 Comments

Mister Donut, the Japanese doughnut chain, is really on the ball when it comes to cute character doughnuts. Their adorable Pikachu doughnuts were the envy of Pokemon fans around the world, and when it comes to Halloween, they even boast some completely original doughnut characters of their own.

It’s about time for these spooky snacks to start showing up in store, and this year’s Halloween lineup will consist of five different treats.

There’s the Makkuro Choco Neko, a jet black chocolate cat. One for chocoholics, it consists of a chocolate doughnut covered in a chocolate coating with chocolate eyes and ears. Lastly there’s a dash of sprinkles to add a bit of color.

The Masshiro Frankenstein (stark white Frankenstein) is a ring doughnut with white chocolate coating, chocolate features, and colorful sprinkles as hair.

Pon de Choco Devil is a riff on Mister Donut’s famous Pon de Ring, a ring doughnut with a mochi-like squishy texture.

This year’s collection seems to have a black and pink theme, which must be why the usually orange Jack o’ Lantern has turned pink this time around. This doughnut has an Old Fashioned base and is covered in strawberry chocolate.

Lastly, there’s the Pink Mummy. This long doughnut hides a fruity interior with dried mango, raspberry, and orange kneaded into the dough. It’s coated with strawberry chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles.

These spooky yet cute characters will appear from September 7 to October 31 in branches of Mister Donut in Japan. Prices range from 172 yen to 176 yen, depending if you eat in or take out.

Not sure about the pink mummy, the others look good.

Absolutely ridiculous. I wish that retailers would stop turning Holidays into business only.

It is the beginning of September. These should not be out until at least the beginning of October.

Will they be putting out Christmas items next week?
