It's baaaaack! Ferrero officially revealed that the 31 Days of Halloween Countdown Calendar escaped from its grave for the fourth year in a row.

The spirited countdown calendar is all treats, no tricks, so figuring out what's lurking behind the day's door is always a sweet surprise.

According to the announcement, hidden in each of the 31 compartments is a treat from any of Ferrero's premium candy and cookie brands–including Butterfinger, Crunch, Baby Ruth, 100Grand, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Joy, Kinder Chocolate, Tic Tac, Nutella&GO!, Fannie May, Keebler Fudge Stripe Minis or Mother's Cookies.

And as a magical bonus, the calendars will help raise funds for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, a nonprofit dedicated to providing the best care for kids through donations and support to local children's hospitals across North America.

Here's how to get one:

  • Pay a visit to www.FerreroHalloween.com

  • Make a $31 donation to the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals

  • Wait for your treats to be delivered in approximately two weeks

The limited-edition Halloween candy calendars will only be available through September 22 (or while supplies last) and are limited to one calendar per household.
