McDonald's launches new McFlurry for a limited time. Here's what to know
Fans of McDonald's McFlurrys can soon stick their spoons in a new summertime treat. The Hershey's S'mores McFlurry arrives Tuesday, June 10, at participating McDonald's restaurants nationwide, according to the Chicago-based burger chain. 'It's time to gather around the campfire because summer just got sweeter,' McDonald's said in a release. The hand-spun treat combines vanilla soft serve with Hershey's milk chocolate, graham cracker crumbles and marshmallows, according to a product description. Pricing information wasn't immediately available. It marks the newest item to join McDonald's menu and comes nearly a week after the restaurant teased the return of its beloved snack wrap, set to launch July 10. The single-serve wraps were discontinued at U.S. restaurants in 2016 but remained on menus in Canada and abroad. 'Fans never gave up on the Snack Wrap, inspiring the ultimate comeback,' McDonald's said on its website. Customers can grab a s'mores McFlurry, snack wrap and other menu favorites this summer as the burger giant offers extended late-night hours. Much of the menu will be available, though offerings will depend on individual franchisees, Nation's Restaurant News reported. The Hershey's S'mores McFlurry is available for a limited time though McDonald's didn't say for how long. Find your nearest McDonald's here.
