The Simpsons Bring Treehouse of Horror to Jack in the Box with Krusty Burgers, Forbidden D'oh!nut Holes, and Collectible Glow-in-the-Dark Cups
Skip the trip to Springfield this Halloween because The Simpsons have brought their spooky takeover to Jack in the Box. The Treehouse of Horror Menu is a must-try for any super fan. It is time to skateboard directly to the drive-thru.
Year after year, The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror brings the celebrated animated series' irreverent humor to Halloween. While each episode has terrifying twists and turns, the snarky outweighs the scary. Never overshadowing the humor, the haunted storylines push the beloved characters to the brink, but never have them jumping off the cliff.
Jack in the Box has never been afraid to push creative marketing boundaries. Whether it is Jack reminiscing about his classic '80s hair band or the company's iconic antenna ball, Jack knows how to step right up to the line but never cross it. Even with its pop culture collaborations, the partnerships are authentic. From Deadpool to Gremlins, those characters seamlessly melded their storylines into the specialty menu items.
The snarky outweighs the scary.
The new Treehouse of Horror menu includes several items that will quickly become a must-order for super fans. Whether it is a late-night Munchie Meal or Forbidden D'oh!nut Holes, no one will want to miss out on the opportunity to order the food at least once.
Speaking specifically about the special Munchie Meal, Matt Selman, executive producer and showrunner of The Simpsons, said, "This Treehouse of Horror Munchie Meal is the most authentic and funny and scary and deeply Simpsons-y fun food collaboration the show has ever done. Jack in the Box has raised the bar with these beautiful and spooky collectors cups — and the Munchie Meal is dense with deep references for both Simpsons and Jack in the Box fans alike."
The Munchie Meal of Horror satisfies after a late night surviving haunted houses and other seasonal scares. The meal includes a choice of Double Krusty Burger of Terror or Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror. That entrée is paired with two tacos, seasoned curly fries, and a drink. Additionally, each meal comes with a collectible glow-in-the-dark The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror cup.
For those who end their nights before the witching hour, The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Meals are another option. The meals include a special entrée, fries, and a drink. The four entrée options are Krusty Burger of Terror, Double Krusty Burger of Terror, Triple Krusty Burger of Terror, and Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror.
Each of those special entrées features a new, limited-time condiment, Spooky Simpsons Sauce. The specialty sauce is a smoky BBQ ketchup. The flavor's versatility works well with both the burger and the chicken, and it is a flavor that appeals to a wide range of palates. It would have been nice to be able to order a side of sauce to enjoy it with the fries.
Lastly, every meal deserves a sweet ending. The Forbidden D'oh!nut Holes are a twist on Homer's favorite donut. While no one has to sell their soul to enjoy these treats, the flavor is one that tempts even the person with strong willpower.
Served warm, the donut holes are dusted with cinnamon sugar, then topped with pink frosting, and finished with rainbow sprinkles. Even though the bites are small, they will still have everyone drooling at the first bite.
Plus, the packaging channels the iconic Homer donut transformation moment. Luckily, no one else will suffer his fate.
While everyone knew that Jack in the Box would deliver big flavor with this special partnership, the creative packaging is a huge selling point. Within a tiny space, the creative team stacked tons of classic moments. The Simpsons fans will hope that the packaging can be saved for posterity.
Jack in the Box's Treehouse of Horror Menu in collaboration with The Simpsons is available now for a limited time. Check with local restaurants for availability and pricing.
