The Halloween Rescue Squad will operate for one day only
Halloween is all about spooky and scary things, but the fear of running out of candy is almost too much to bear. That’s why Mars has teamed up with Gopuff to save the day on the most bewitching day of the year.

On Oct. 31, starting at 3 p.m. ET, customers can start visiting the Halloween Rescue Squad website to call in reinforcements if their candy supply is looking a little thin. Within an hour, you'll receive a backup supply of candy (while supplies last, of course).
You just have to live in a Gopuff delivery area to take advantage of the offer.
Earlier this week, Domino’s announced a similar, non-Halloween-related program: Domino’s Emergency Pizza.
Holidays

There’s a new M&M’s flavor in town
Just in time for Halloween, Mars has released a brand-new flavor called M&M’S Campfire S’mores. The new variety has a milk chocolate center, a white chocolate layer that tastes like toasted marshmallow and vanilla, and a candy shell.
