Branded Candy Frozen Treats

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The McDonald's Hershey’s Mix McFlurry Offers a Blend of Flavors

— July 15, 2022 — Lifestyle
The McDonald's Hershey’s Mix McFlurry is a new version of the brand's signature ice cream-based treat for patrons to pick up this summer at participating locations. The menu item starts off with soft serve ice cream before being mixed with a blend of Hershey's signature candies including several chocolate varieties. This offers patrons a distinctly textural experience that's sure to be a hit with avid Hershey's chocolate fans.

The McDonald's Hershey’s Mix McFlurry is being tested in select markets, which could lead to a wider launch later this year. The more complex flavor profile of the ice cream treat could make it more suited for the cold weather, so a fall or even winter launch could be coming towards the end of the year.
