But even though Melgrim assures Donnie that they finally have accepted him as a true demon, are their motives really to be trusted?<\/p>\n<p>Naturally when you&#8217;re a mini-pizza loving demon as simpleminded as Donnie, you&#8217;ll always trust anyone who tells you they&#8217;re simply going to bake up an all new product called Donnie&#8217;s Pizza Poppers to catch the attention of people who otherwise might pass right by his store. However, Melgrim and Grimmel are up to their quite old and well played tricks, Melgrim having even practically fooled Grimmel with their supposed kindness to the dimwitted dunce that is their favorite victim, Donnie.<\/p>\n<p>This year they are in fact baking Donnie&#8217;s Pizza Poppers, but Melgrim has slipped some very special quite hellish ingredients into the mix, ingredients which will truly put the POP in pizza poppers.<\/p>\n<p>As he explains to his foolish friend, Grimmel, the ingredients once tasted by a human tongue, will pop a part of that person, whether it be their mind, their morals, or even things more tangible like their waistline or chest. It&#8217;s the costume changes without the costumes this year, because not everyone stops in to buy a costume, but no one can resist a tasty treat offered in promotion of the best costume shop in town.<\/p>\n<p>Melgrim and Grimmel are going to bring some major chaos right outside Donnie&#8217;s doors and if that doesn&#8217;t shut down his business and ruin his dimwitted life, nothing will.<\/p>\n<p>A cute couple of girls getting off the bus provide the perfect beginning to a fiendishly demonic plan, but when the curvy Molly and athletic Kendra take a taste of Donnie&#8217;s Pizza Poppers, just what part of them will pop&#8230; and will this clever plot somehow backfire as it always does?<\/p>\n<p>Somehow you just know, despite their best efforts, Donnie the Demon is going to be seeing quite the boost in sales&#8230; and just possibly he might be getting lucky along the way, all thanks to a very tasty new treat, Donnie&#8217;s Pizza Poppers.<\/p>\n<p>Halloween with the Kreme serves up something deliciously Donnie this month, and more than the flavor is going to pop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashwords.com\/books\/view\/673283\">Now on Smashwords!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01MCVHQVH\" target=\"_blank\">Now On Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The next treat for HallowKreme is&#8230; Freaky&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donnie the Demon is thrilled his old bullies are now friends, and more so that they decided to help his business by giving away Donnie&#8217;s Pizza Poppers in the parking lot.
