To celebrate Halloween this year, Chili's^(R) Grill & Bar invites guests to cast their spell and fly into Chili's to receive a free treat - not trick - for their kids. On Halloween, Sunday, Oct. 31, from 3 p.m. until close, participating Chili's locations will offer a free Pepper Pal's^(R) kid's meal for children 12 years and under.

Before heading out under the shadows of the moonlight, stop by Chili's to give kids healthy treats before their candy sweets. Chili's now offers four new nutritional side items to the Pepper Pal's menu including, fresh pineapple, salad with low-fat ranch dressing, steamed broccoli and celery sticks served with low-fat ranch. Each Pepper Pal's Kids Menu comes with a choice of entree, side item and a drink.

"We know that our guests - little kids and big kids alike - love Halloween," said Krista Gibson, senior vice president, brand strategy for Chili's Grill & Bar. "Dining with us before going out for trick-or-treating is a win for all - kids will have an opportunity to fuel up for the big night out and parents will feel good about the money they'll save!"
