October is the best month of the year — the leaves change colors, the weather gets cooler and the spices taste more like pumpkin. It’s also one of the perfect times to post creative and seasonal pictures on Instagram! But there’s nothing worse than seeing a timeline that’s just full of the same photo of somebody holding a Starbucks cup with some blurred leaves or pumpkins in the background. To help you stand out this spooky season, here’s a list of Insta-ready food and drink that your followers will just eat up.

If you’re interested in posting spooky Halloween food, but don’t necessarily have the time or energy to make it, don’t worry!

If you aren’t lucky enough to live in Anahheim or Orlando, Dunkin’ Donuts also goes all out for Halloween! We’re talking Scary Strawberry, Choc-O-Lantern and Vampire’s Delight. They’re all delicious and they’re all Insta-ready.
