• Halloween Treat Mix – $16.99

Review

The Halloween Treat Mix is a rare miss for the Kernel Kitchen. The orange and black M&Ms add their standard chocolate flavor. The orange drizzle has a very light chocolate flavor, too, while the cookie dust flavor is barely noticeable.

If you don’t want to overdo it on chocolate, this would be a good choice. However, the foundational popcorn in our serving was stale and soggy; in our opinion, if the popcorn is bad, the whole concoction suffers.

• 🆕 Pumpkin Sundae – $8.29

Review

This is pumpkin pie in gelato form! The pumpkin spice flavor is strong here. Other components in the dish help cut the taste, but not enough to last the full serving. Speaking of, this serving is definitely generous enough to share. We don’t recommend getting this if you’re not a fan of a strong pumpkin flavor.

Review

A skull made out of meat! This dish is very Halloween, for sure. Since the meatloaf itself is extremely thick, we were worried it would be dry. To our surprise, it was only a touch dry, but that was easily fixed thanks to the sauce on the plate.

We did not detect any overt Caribbean flavors, but the main dish was nicely seasoned. The loaded mashed potatoes and green beans were very tasty, though the latter could have used a bit more salt.

Overall, this is a fun and flavorful Halloween dish that we might’ve rated higher if not for the price.

The purple sweet potato bun on this sandwich serves as its Halloween flair. The pork is tender and well-cooked. Though pumpkin flavors are advertised, it’s really the cold brew barbecue sauce that steals the show. If you’re not a fan of pumpkin, you’ll likely still be okay with the dish, but if you don’t like coffee, steer clear.

The slaw and aioli are perfect additions to the sandwich, and our only complaint is that we wish there were more of both. The side of fries was perfection: hot and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

This is a cute offering thanks to the two spooky cookies. We think it’s perfect for sharing with a friend or family member. All the components of the sundae taste just as you’d expect.

This would normally earn a 4/7 rating as it is tasty but not outstanding. However, the ghost cookies compel us to bump that score up to a 5/7. They make the sundae photogenic and fun. They are a little on the dry side, but that makes them perfect for dipping into the ice cream.

Review

This was disappointing. The mango DOLE Whip is always good, but the chamoy failed to contribute. It mostly pooled at the bottom of the float.

• 🆕 Magic Potion Slushy – $6.29

Review

This is an interesting item, for sure. You need to mix the slushy before drinking to get this poison apple green color.

This slushy offers a more citrus-forward flavor thanks to the yuzu. We think it’s very refreshing. We’re not sure if kids would like it more, but our reporters enjoyed it!

Review

Despite the rapidly melting marshmallow ghosts, this was still cute (if not a little sad). It’s simple but comes together well. The popping candy is subtle and lingers in the mouth, giving it that little bit of uniqueness to prevent it from being boring. We loved this.

Cauldron Cold Brew – $5.79

Joffrey’s Cold Brew Coffee with pumpkin-spiced foam and Halloween sprinkles

Returning from 2024, this coffee beverage left a lot to be desired. The cold brew coffee had a very bitter taste, and despite wanting to love this, we had to douse it in creamer to be able to get it down.

The sprinkles on top make it look festive, and the pumpkin-spiced foam is delicious, though not present enough to matter. We tried mixing in the foam to see if it could cut the bitterness of the cold brew, but no luck.

One of our reporters liked this, but the other in our group did not. The black vanilla drizzle certainly overpowers the Fanta Blue Raspberry flavor, and it is sickeningly sweet.
