"We're thrilled to bring Trick OREO Treat, which combines our guests' favorite Halloween treats and candies into one festive ice cream, back as our October Flavor of the Month," said Stan Frankenthaler, Baskin-Robbins Executive Chef and Vice President of Innovation at Dunkin' Brands.  "To make the fall season even more special, we're also excited to add our new Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake Bite and warm sundaes to our lineup of delicious frozen treats."

In participating Baskin-Robbins shops nationwide in October, Trick OREO Treat features vanilla-flavored ice cream with orange creme-filled OREO^® cookies, Baby Ruth^® and Butterfinger^® candy pieces, and is available by the scoop - in a cup or cone - or as a milkshake. This fall, select Baskin-Robbins shops nationwide are also offering a rich and creamy Pumpkin Pie flavored ice cream. These seasonal flavors are both available as fresh-packed pints and quarts, so ice cream lovers can bring the flavor home to enjoy with family and friends.*

For an individual treat this fall, Baskin-Robbins is introducing the Red Velvet Ice Cream Cake Bite, the newest member of its Ice Cream Cake Bite lineup. It's an elegant frozen treat featuring Red Velvet ice cream over dark red velvet cake, covered in chocolate-flavored coating and finished with a white rosette. To accompany this mini-dessert, select Baskin-Robbins shops nationwide are offering Red Velvet cake-flavored ice cream with a cream cheese frosting ribbon. Ice Cream Cake Bites are sold individually for a suggested retail price of $2.99 each or $10.99 for a "mix and match" box of four.

For a limited time only, participating Baskin-Robbins shops are also offering two new warm sundaes, which are sure to put a "cherry on top" of anyone's day for a suggested retail price of $4.99 each. The Warm Belgian Waffle Sundae features two scoops of Pralines 'n Cream ice cream topped with warm caramel praline topping, whipped cream and the requisite cherry on top. The Warm Brownie Sundae is made with two scoops of your favorite Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavor and topped with hot fudge, whipped cream, chopped almonds and a cherry.
