As of May 3, the chain is adding a Caramel Brownie McFlurry to its menus in the United States for a limited time. McDonald’s says the dessert combines creamy vanilla ice cream with pieces of brownie and caramel icing that is mixed throughout. Prices vary depending on the location.
Some McDonald’s fans may recognize Caramel Brownie McFlurry because it has been served in Canadian locations since 2017. In fact, the company notes, McFlurry is a Canadian creation that debuted in 1995 at a restaurant in New Brunswick. It is now a basic menu that is served in more than 100 countries.
The flavors of Caramel Brownie McFlurry are “inspired by the feel of the first hot day of the year,” Chad Schafer, senior director of cooking at McDonald’s, said in a press release. It joins the Oreo and M & Ms McFlurry options currently on the menus.
Fast food chains are constantly competing for money and customer attention, and special offers are a way to cut the noise. McDonalds (MCD) regularly adds different flavors of McFlurry to their menus, with Reese’s, Chips Ahoy and snickerdoodles.
In February and March, McDonald’s offered an Oreo Shamrock McFlurry for a limited time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
