It’s the 1st October! The countdown to Halloween begins! And Ferrero have made the arrival of the spooktacular holiday even sweeter with their ‘31 Days of Halloween’ confectionary countdown calendar!
Available in limited numbers, and for those living in the US only, for a one-off $31 donation to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, you too can receive a giant Halloween advent calendar filled with miniature and full-sized Ferrero family treats! 2023 sees these huge countdown calendars return for a fourth year in collaboration with the charitable trust.
Behind each door, sweet snacks such as mini Butterfinger, Crunch, 100 Grand, Mother’s Animal Cookies, Keebler cookies and Kinder Joy await!
This year’s design features a haunted house. Embossed with gold type and gates the initial impact is striking, and one of expectant quality. Once the custom-cut façade is pulled back, the house is illustrated with sweet Ferrero characters such as the Keebler elves and anthropomorphized Tic Tacs.
I love these little details on the box, it’s almost like trying to decode a treasure map that leads to sweets; the Kinder Joy-shaped clock face, the Kinder branded globe, Tic Tac chandelier and animal cookie bats in the corner all point to bite-sized deliciousness behind each window…everything designed to get you pumped up for the spooky season!
The concept of a Halloween advent calendar alone thrills me! But the fact that the Ferrero 31 Days of Halloween contributes to something bigger, charitable, and more important that candy, warms my bones.
Here’s to Halloween!
