Don't tell M&M's or Oreos, because, arguably, the tastiest McFlurry flavor is coming back to McDonald's after a long hiatus.
The fast-food company announced this week that the Rolo McFlurry will be once again gracing its stores, beginning later this month for a limited time. For those unaware, the Rolo concoction consists of large chunks of Rolo candy (it's chewy caramel and creamy chocolate combined) and a thick caramel swirl, added into a vanilla ice-cream base. The fan-favorite frozen treat — there was even an official Change.org petition to bring it back — will be available to purchase until mid-September, giving customers that perfect summer sweet spot to enjoy.
The news of McD's bringing back the beloved flavor comes at a time that can only be described as pandemonium for fast-food customers looking for tasty frozen desserts. Earlier this year, the company was forced to roll out thousands of new ice cream machines across multiple locations in the U.S. and Europe due to a vast uptick in its machines breaking down. (Thus, no McFlurries. Sob.) The easier-to-assemble machines seem to be working out for it, thank goodness.
The revival also comes on the heels of the company announcing it would be phasing out preservatives, artificial flavors, and colors in its vanilla ice cream—so you could argue your Rolo McFlurry is healthy now. (OK, fine, healthier.)
Your move, Wendy's with those Frostys. What new or old flavor are you going to create for us now?
