Whether you are gearing up for a terrifying night at Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida or simply wrapping up a fun family day at Universal Islands of Adventure, stopping by the Cold Stone Creamery makes a fun stop. Theme park fans know these spooky sweets hit a little different. While these frightful delights are available at locations across the country, theme park fans know these spooky sweets hit just a little bit different right in the middle of Universal’s entertainment hub.
The 2026 Spooktacular Halloween Lineup With Boo Batter Ice Cream
Cold Stone Creamery has brewed up a sinister lineup of limited-time treats featuring Boo Batter Ice Cream as the dark heart of every dish:
- Treat or Treat Creation: The ultimate Halloween sugar rush is back for another haunting season. This loaded Creation takes jet-black Boo Batter Ice Cream and mixes in crunchy KIT KAT, Halloween OREO Cookies, and colorful M&M’S to satisfy the most demanding sweet tooth. Read our review from last year to decide whether this one is for you.
- Witches’ Boo Shake: One sip is all it takes to fall under the spell of this eerily irresistible potion, according to Cold Stone Creamery. This rich shake blends Boo Batter Ice Cream with crushed Halloween OREO Cookies, then tops it off with fluffy Whipped Topping and festive Spooky Sprinkles.
- Boo Batter Ice Cream Taco: A true showstopper on the seasonal menu! Cold Stone wraps its pitch-black Boo Batter Ice Cream inside a vibrant orange waffle taco shell, coats it in rich Chocolate, and tops it with Spooky Sprinkles. Its festive colors and satisfying crunch capture the playful spirit of the season in every bite.
Boo Batter Ice Cream at Cold Stone Creamery: “A Fun Tradition That Guests Look Forward To”
“Boo Batter™ has become a fun tradition that our guests look forward to each year,” said Courtney Maxedon, VP of Marketing and Digital Strategy at Kahala Brands ™, parent company of Cold Stone Creamery. “This lineup serves as a way to enjoy the excitement of Halloween.”
Why the Boo Batter Taco Steals the Show
If you’ve followed theme park food reviews, you might remember when food reporters tested out the seasonal menu and declared the Boo Batter Ice Cream Taco a massive victory over other high-profile gourmet desserts. Compared to Salt & Straw’s hyped Tacolate, our food reporters scored the Boo Batter Taco an off-the-charts “11/10” for its impressive size, handmade appeal, and perfectly balanced chocolate-waffle crunch.
Positioned right at the main entryway of Universal CityWalk, Cold Stone Creamery serves as the ideal pit stop whether you need a sugar boost before heading into a haunted house or a sweet late-night reward on your way back to the hotels. (Pro tip: Universal Orlando Annual Premier Passholders can even score up to a 15% discount at the CityWalk location!)
The frightful fun won’t last forever. These wickedly good treats vanish like ghosts in the night after October 31, 2026. Make sure to visit Cold Stone Creamery locations nationwide before the month ends to grab a bite of the darkness!
