It’s not candy, but a free treat is available for every little trickster under the age of 12 at IHOPs this coming Friday.

Participating restaurants will celebrate Halloween a little early by offering each child a free Scary Face Pancake as part of its “No Tricks – Just Treats” program designed to provide kids with a safe and fun Halloween event.

The “design-your-own” Scary Face Pancake includes an oversized signature buttermilk pancake with a whipped topping mouth and strawberry nose, served with two mini Oreo cookies and candy corn on the side to allow kids to create their own Halloween hotcake.

From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, each child will receive one Scary Face pancake, which is a play on IHOP’s popular Funny Face pancake.

The Scary Face Pancake will be offered throughout October and, like all IHOP kids menu items, is under 600 calories.  Throughout IHOP’s new menu, items under 600 calories are designated with a SIMPLE & FIT icon.
