With Halloween coming up, it’ll be the last chance to try Salt & Straw ice cream’s Halloween Series, only available through the end of month—and on October 31, Halloween, they will also be offering a free scoop for kids under age 16, as well as free Pup Cups to furry friends in costume!
The Halloween Series is inspired by the annual parties held by Salt & Straw co-founders’ Kim and Tyler Malek’s grandmother, where she completely transformed her basement into a haunted house for all kids in the neighborhood to enjoy. The five unique flavors serve as a perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth, incorporating housemade candies, pumpkin, and even real bugs from Don Bugito.
Flavors include:
-
The Great Candycopia — Homemade candy—inspired by Kit Kats, Reeses, Snickers, and Heath bars—folded into salted butterscotch ice cream.
-
Jack o’ Lantern Pumpkin Bread — Pumpkin-spiced ice cream with sweet pieces of freshly-baked pumpkin bread, swaths of whipped cream cheese frosting and pinches of warming spices
-
Don Bugito’s Creepy Crawly Critters — Matcha ice cream with toffee-brittle mealworms and crunchy chocolate crickets (yes, real bugs!) from Don Bugito, a company on a mission to change how the world sees (and eats) insects.
-
Essence of Ghost — Last served in 2018, bone-white scotch-spiked sorbet wisped with a black licorice sorbet.
-
Blackberry & Masa Tamale Sherbet (v) — A monster vegan mashup in tribute to Michoacán’s tamal from the Purépecha region: half masa coconut cream sherbet, half juicy marionberry sherbet, made in collaboration with Paola Briseño-González, food writer and leader of Los Angeles’ Dia de los Muertos festival, the largest in the United States.
