Marks & Spencer has unveiled its latest tasty treat just in time for Halloween in the shape of a spooky Colin The Caterpillar cake.
With the seasonal holiday less than two weeks away, the retailer has delighted fans of the chocolate treat, which has been re-imagined to look more like Frankenstein’s monster.
The Frankencolin features a green face with a large, toothy grin, and chocolate bolts attached to his head.
The new Halloween-themed cake was met with strong support on social media, with Marks & Spencer’s announcement Instagram post receiving more than 15,000 likes.

An assortment of edible nuts and bolts have also been sprinkled over Frankencolin’s body.
Additionally, Marks and Spencer have also released miniature versions of their Halloween cake: Frankencolin minis.
The smaller variation comes in a pack of five and an eagle-eyed shopper has already spotted them on shop shelves for £2.

Alongside the main cake, Marks and Spencer have also released miniature versions of the spooky caterpillar cake – with five smaller ones in every pack
One person commented: ‘OMG mini ones. I need this in my life!’
While another said: ‘I’ll get this for the kids.’
Another said that they needed ‘to find these guys’.

A fourth person tagged a friend and said: ‘We need a Halloween date and one of these bad boys.’
Frankencolin has gone done better with fans on social media than the Easter Bunny version they produced earlier this year.
Fans were left divided online in February after Marks & Spencer launched the Easter-themed variant of Colin.
The caterpillar cake was decorated with carrots along its back as well as long ears and buck teeth.
The Halloween variety of the classic chocolate cake is a far clearer fan favourite than their Easter Bunny variant (pictured) which was launched earlier this year. Although people were excited to taste the cake, one person found the white chocolate bunny face to be ‘disturbing’
‘Most disturbing looking bunny I’ve ever seen!’ penned one, while a second agreed: ‘It looks possessed and since when has a rabbit had 6 legs… Definitely won’t be buying.’
Despite being in agreement about its scary appearance, many still admitted they’d still try it.
‘Looks like a thing of nightmares but I bet it tastes good,’ wrote one, while another commented: ‘Will definitely get one.xxxx as Bella would say chase is on the case. Xxxxxx’
A further wrote: ‘I hope it’s in stores now as I need it for my son’s bday cake next week lol.’
