The Cheesecake Factory Is Dishing Out Free Cheesecake with Your Order This Week

The Cheesecake Factory started the year off on a high note by announcing tons of deals, and of course, launching the brand-new Coconut Cream Pie Cheesecake. Now, to close off the year, they’re back to old tricks and are offering up some serious treats for Halloween with, yep, you guessed it, free cheesecake.

How Do I Get Free Cheesecake?

Starting on Monday, October 25, until Friday, October 29, cheesecake lovers will be eligible for one complimentary slice of Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake or Hershey’s Chocolate Bar Cheesecake. Just order online for takeout or delivery and spend more than $40. Then, add the promo code TREATME at checkout and voila, free cheesecake!

The cheesecakes on offer are truly two of the most decadent items on The Cheesecake Factory’s menu. The Hershey’s Chocolate Bar Cheesecake is a chocolate explosion, with chocolate cheesecake, chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, while the Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake features Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups nestled in original cheesecake, layered between fudge cake and caramel. We’re definitely not going to say no to a free slice of those! Of course, if you really want to indulge, you could buy a whole cheesecake of your own.

Here’s all you need to know about The Cheesecake Factory’s cheesecakes.
