Marks and Spencer is selling mummified Colin the Caterpillar cake for Halloween

Got your Halloween costume for this year, yet? Well, Colin the Caterpillar has…

That’s right. Marks and Spencer has dropped a mummified Colin the Caterpillar cake just in time for spooky season.

Throwing a Halloween party? Make sure you stock up on this little guy. Watch him being mummified below: 

Dubbed Double Choc Yummy Mummy Colin the Caterpillar (£12), the cake is coated in a double layer of chocolate.

Extra indulgent, it has Colin’s classic milk chocolate coating and an extra layer of creamy white chocolate as well.

Colin regularly gets a seasonal makeover – he previously got one for the Queen’s jubilee and Mother’s Day.

We’ve also seen copious Halloween looks from M&S’ cake character over the years, including a Franken Colin and a Creepy Colin, however this one might well be our favourite.

Sharing their new cake design on Instagram, M&S wrote: “Our limited-edition, double choc yummy mummy Colin the Caterpillar is here!

“He’s coated in a layer of Colin’s classic milk chocolate AND a layer of creamy white chocolate – WOW.”

And it’s safe to say that people were excited.

“This must be the best caterpillar cake ever,” wrote one person in the comments.

Whilst another gushed: “Well this looks absolutely unbelievable!!”

“Never mind the decorations, we’re getting one of these,” said someone else.

There are other Halloween products launching too, including risky roulette sweets (£1.75), which come with a surprise mix or sweet and sour, and Mummy Mini Colin the Caterpillar Cakes (£2.75).

You can also get a Colin the Caterpillar “creepy melting milk chocolate stirrer” (£2). The mini Colin comes on a stick and is suitably scary, with a green head and red eyes, and the idea is that you pop his head into your milk to make a hot chocolate.

Buy some of these and you can guarantee you’ll stay in the trick or treater’s good books…
