Biscoff lovers, there’s a new Biscoff dessert dropping at McDonald’s! Be first in line to taste it since they’re in for a limited time only.
Lately, McDonald’s has been releasing quite some good stuff perfect for the Halloween fall and holiday season. They’re also re-introducing fan favorites from years ago and, quite notably, menu items from international McDonald’s locations. What better way to let your home country taste some fan favorites from international locations, right?
McDonald’s USA is finally dropping the Biscoff McFlurry with Caramel Sauce, and we’re here for it! It features a vanilla soft serve base that is blended with Biscoff cookies and caramel sauce. However, there’s a catch: it’s only being served at one location, and that location happens to be in Chicago, Illinois, specifically at 1035 W. Randolph, which is their international headquarters. If you live in Chicago or in nearby cities, then you’re lucky to have the first taste of this new McFlurry flavor as it drops at McDonald’s USA.
If the Biscoff McFlurry became successful, then McDonald’s would surely test them in out-of-state locations anytime soon until it hits a nationwide release. Biscoff fans, better cross your fingers that this does well in Chicago. Get them now while they’re still freezing.
What Started McFlurry?
McFlurry is a McDonald’s staple. Your meal wouldn’t be complete without the freezing vanilla ice cream base that is blended with your choice of toppings. It is quite notable that Oreo McFlurry is the chain’s most successful McFlurry flavor, judging from its permanent appearance on the menu. Indeed, there’s nothing better than a vanilla and crushes Oreo cookie combination — much like Oreo’s iconic cookie and vanilla cream filling.
The McFlurry can be traced back to 1995 when it was first introduced by inventor and Canadian McDonald’s franchisee Ron McLellan. They were first offered in Bathurst, New Brunswick, and later, at a number of Toronto locations in Canada. The McFlurry’s US debut was in 1995 after it proved to be successful at McDonald’s Canada.
Since then, it has consisted of the same ingredients and formula: a vanilla ice cream base and a sweet topping that is blended. It also features flavors of Oreo, Heath, Nestle Crunch, M&M’s, and Butterfinger. The feature of the McFlurry that makes it an instant crowd favorite is the whipped vanilla soft serve using a blender, plus the toppings that are blended making it earn the name of McFlurry.

Chicken Big Mac
The classic Big Mac is now dropping at McDonald’s. Get ready for the Chicken Big Mac, which is just like the regular Big Mac but with a twist of chicken. In case you don’t know, this burger is being offered at international McDonald’s locations, and it’s finally making its way to its home country.
According to McDonald’s, the Chicken Big Mac is a reimagined version of Big Mac, which has been a staple at the chain since the 1960s. Instead of two beef patties, the Chicken Big Mac consists of two tempura batter fried chicken along with Big Mac’s special sauces. They’re now being offered at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide, so better hurry before they’re gone.
Boo Buckets
McDonald’s is bringing in nostalgia this Halloween season as they unveil the new version of the Boo Buckets. You might remember these buckets from your childhood, as the first set came out in 1986 as a McDonald’s Happy Meal. The characters are named as McPunkin’, McBoo, and McGoblin. Now, McDonald’s will once again come out with these iconic Halloween pales, but sadly, we won’t get to see these scary faces again as the new Boo Buckets feature new characters.
But don’t worry, as the new Boo Buckets characters are these colorful furry monsters that come in the colors of green, white, blue, and orange. Isn’t it scary cool? You can get the Boo Buckets when you order the Happy Meal in-store, online, or through the app. You can choose among four to six pieces of a Chicken McNuggets Meal or a hamburger to accompany the Boo Buckets.

From The Club
As an Oreo McFlurry lover and a Biscoff fan, I’m excited for the Biscoff McFlurry! Although I’d appreciate it more if McDonald’s blended Biscoff Cookie Butter instead of caramel sauce for a more authentic taste of the McFlurry. Well, I’m trusting McDonald’s on this one as I know that they will also serve when it comes to their new McFlurry flavor. Let’s cross our fingers that this flavor will be up for nationwide release so this can reach more Biscoff fans.
