SAM’S Club shoppers raved and questioned a spooky new seasonal favorite that has hit stores.

A customer was furious about an apparent recipe change that he said was “worse.”

Sam’s Club has released an exclusive larger-sized box of Count Chocula cereal.

This breakfast is a Halloween favorite that features colorful, spooky-shaped cereal with marshmallow pieces.

Count Chocula cereals have only been produced and sold during the fall and Halloween season each year since 2010.

This means that fans will only be able to purchase this classic in the coming weeks.

A fan (@Dracula Dinosaur) shared their excitement for the return of breakfast staples and praised Sam’s Club for its unique option, in an X post.

“Yessss! I just bought a jumbo box of the new Count Chocula cereal, with “Frightful Friends” marshmallows,” they wrote.

“These double-sized boxes are exclusive to Sam’s Club. I love the design!”

Even Sam’s Club itself agreed with the excitement of this drop.

“This is a freakishly good breakfast,” the store wrote.

Despite this enthusiasm, one person responded and asked if there had been any changes to this annual item.

“I can’t be the only one who noticed they changed the recipe for the cereal pieces themselves, right?” this X used he wrote.

“Is it more of a rice-based cereal now, rather than oatmeal or as a good luck charm, cheerio-type pieces that they used to be?

“And I think it’s a change for the worse.”

Other fans praised the product for its retro and fun packaging.

This isn’t the only Halloween item to hit Sam’s Club stores.

Another scary purchase was criticized by an online customer.

The retailer Halloween musical skeletonswhich are sold as a pair, have been criticized.

“Buy these if you hate your neighbors,” wrote one reviewer.

These props play a trumpet and saxophone duet from the song Minnie the Moocher.

The reviewer was not impressed as he said his neighbor bought them last year “and it’s driving me crazy.”
