M&S launches 'frightfully fun' chocolate treat ahead of Halloween and it's 'guaranteed to be a hit'

Marks and Spencer said: "New in the M&S Foodhall – all aboard the spooky Ghost Train.

"What’s that creaking along the tracks? Our spooky steam train is here to take you on a frightfully fun journey this Halloween.

"Filled with foiled milk chocolate hollows, this ghoulish glow-in-the-dark tin is guaranteed to be a hit. Both for eating AND for displaying next to your pumpkin. All aboard…choo choo BOO!"

M&S Glow in the Dark Ghost Train is available from Ocado for £6.50.

One M&S shopper said: "Got one! It looks amazing and so detailed with the glow in the dark as well as nice chocolate. Love it!" Another chocoholic rejoiced: "Love this, so cute."

Other excited shoppers filled the comments section with heart-eye emojis.

One social media user asked M&S about whether they can expect more Halloween-inspired food.

They commented: "Will you be doing savoury Halloween food again? I'm ready for the Halloween parties.

To this, a spokesperson from M&S responded: "We certainly will! Keep an eye out in stores and on our social media pages a bit nearer the time."

Meanwhile, another Halloween treat has been spotted at the retailer. M&S Cackle & Pop Halloween Mini Bites (which cost £3.75 at Ocado) have already garnered lots of attention.

One shopper described the sweet treat as a "need", while another said: "I want."

This comes as M&S rolls out 11 new warming desserts this autumn, with a nod to childhood classics.
