The return of Salt & Straw ice cream’s “Halloween” Series. Available throughout the month of October, the series features the return of five unique flavors from co-founder and head ice cream innovator Tyler Malek, including flavors with long-standing partner Monica Martinez, founder of Don Bugito, and Paola Briseño-González, food writer and leader of Los Angeles’ Dia de los Muertos festival, the largest in the United States.
The series is also a nostalgic nod to founders’ Kim and Tyler Malek’s grandmother, who hosted an annual Halloween party where she completely transformed her basement into a haunted house for all kids in the neighborhood to enjoy. The flavors serve as a perfect way to celebrate all of the traditions of the season and satisfy your sweet tooth.
Additionally, Salt & Straw is offering free scoops for kids under age 16 in costumes and free Pup Cups to furry friends in costume on Halloween as well as Chocolate Covered Crickets for purchase, to highlight the cult-following flavor collaboration with long-standing partner, Don Bugito and will continue to offer its seasonal Pumpkin Spiced Waffle Cone, in collaboration with Diaspora Co.
Flavors include:
-
The Great Candycopia — Housemade 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.
