IHOP wants to help kids and parents celebrate Halloween a little early this year. On October 28th, any child under the age of 12 will receive a free Scary Face Pancake as part of the “No Tricks – Just Treats” promotion. This will help kids have their own fun Halloween event even if they live in areas where trick or treating isn’t safe. The pancake is the same classic buttermilk hotcake served at all IHOP locations. The face will be added with a whipped cream mouth and a strawberry for a nose. The pancake also comes with a side of candy corn and mini Oreo cookies so kids can add their own finishing touches. Parents can enjoy the new Cinna-Stack Pancakes, the Belgian Waffle Combo, a fresh omelette or a plate of savory crepes while their kids enjoy their free Halloween treats.
All participating national IHOP locations will be giving out the free pancakes starting at 7 am and ending at 10 pm. Kids who love the Funny Face pancake that is always available on the menu will also find the Scary Face pancake to be tasty and fun. It is also a part of the Simple & Fit Kid’s Menu for the rest of October, and has less than 600 calories. The chain hopes that this event will help form loyal customers to keep it going for another 50 years of serving pancakes and other breakfast items all day long. IHOP currently has 1,522 locations in the U.S. and countries like Puerto Rico, Canada, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Only restaurants in the U.S. are currently participating in this special Halloween event.
