The cake is made with the signature rich chocolate sponge we all know and love, creamy milk chocolate, swirls of decadent buttercream and Colin’s famous white chocolate face.

Especially for Father’s Day, he’s donned a white and dark chocolate hero mask and blue and red edible cape.

Customers can even cut their own mask out from the box for serious hero vibes.

The developers at Marks and Spencer have spent a year perfecting his hero look, following the success of other limited-edition Colin’s, and helping customers celebrate every special occasion - with their favourite caterpillar, naturally.

And this isn’t the only Colin related treat that Marks and Spencer are gracing us with this week.

They have also launched Colin the Caterpillar Cookie Dough. Priced at £3, the ready to bake kit makes four chocolatey cookies with colourful chocolate beans and mini Colin faces to decorate. Best of all? It’s suitable for vegetarians and gluten free too.
