Author Sterling North’s classic book Rascal, about North’s own adventures with his wily pet raccoon, has delighted both children and adults for generations. The story also became a huge hit in Japan with a wildly popular animated series adaptation in the 1970s, and the character is still well-known today.

Due to their intelligence and craftiness, raccoons are known mischief-makers. They are also really stinkin’ cute, which makes them—or more specifically, Rascal—the perfect match for these limited-edition Halloween doughnuts from doughnut specialty shop Floresta.

Five different Rascal donuts will be available at Floresta branches across Japan until October 31. The almost too-cute-to-eat themes include doughnut hole vampire Rascal, doughnut hole wizard Rascal, doughnut hole pumpkin Rascal, Halloween ghost Rascal and Halloween wizard Rascal. Princes range from ¥300 to ¥380.
