MCDONALD'S is launching six all-new menu items today including a never-before-seen burger.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0fast food giant\u00a0is famous for shaking up its menu, usually every six weeks or so.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Last week The Sun was invited for an exclusive tasting of the new additions, including a never-before-seen Philly cheese steak-inspired burger. <\/p>\n
The fresh menu hits UK and Ireland\u00a0menus\u00a0today from 11am at the fast food chain's more than 1,000 restaurants.<\/p>\n
Today's menu drop will also see the launch of two Halloween-themed McFlurry flavours.<\/p>\n
There's also a twist on the popular McCrispy burger, and fans will be thrilled to know the popular Chilli Cheese Bites are back. <\/p>\n
Each has been specially picked out for the\u00a0autumn\u00a0season, using new flavours.<\/p>\n What's more the fast food chain has heard fans' cries and has finally introduced a nine-piece chicken McNugget meal which is launching today as well.<\/p>\n If you want to try these additions then don't hang around because they will only be on menus until November 21.<\/p>\n I rated them out of a total of five for taste and appearance.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0Philly\u00a0Cheese\u00a0Stack is a Maccies take on the classic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich.<\/p>\n The original sarnie is made up of thinly sliced pieces of beefsteak and melted cheese in a long hoagie roll.<\/p>\n It was unlike any other McDonald's burger I've tried before, largely due to the unique cheese sauce. <\/p>\n That as well as the two other slices of cheese made each bite a cheesy delight. <\/p>\n The two-patty burger also comes topped with both grilled and crispy onions, something I haven't personally seen at Maccies before.<\/p>\n I also liked the unique bun too which was toasted and covered in sesame seeds. <\/p>\n I've never tried a Philly cheesesteak but if it's anything like the Maccies burger, I think I'd be a fan.<\/p>\n My only slight complaint is that there could have been slightly more crispy onions, just to add a bit more texture to the gooey cheese.<\/p>\n It will cost you \u00a36.99 for a medium meal.<\/p>\n The all-new\u00a0McCrispy\u00a0BBQ Smokehouse burger is a fresh twist on the fancy chicken burger which hit menus for the first time in 2022.<\/p>\n Since then Maccies has also launched the McCrispy Deluxe which was around for six weeks over the summer. <\/p>\n Having now tried all three I have to say the chicken burger is one of the best of all the fast-food chains' offerings. <\/p>\n It's made up of a crispy chicken breast fillet with a BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion, and lettuce.<\/p>\n It's encased in a fancy looking sourdough-style sesame-topped bun.<\/p>\n I was impressed that there was BBQ sauce on both the top and the bottom halves of the bun to avoid it tasting dry. <\/p>\n The chicken fillet was pretty big, which while that's a good thing, actually made it tricky to eat as the bun was so much smaller.<\/p>\n Of course, the size of the fillet was vary from burger to burger though.<\/p>\n It's a bit pricier than the other burgers on the menu and will cost \u00a37.39 with a side and a drink.<\/p>\n I was thrilled when I saw the new menu included all-new McFlurrys, as the chain tends to roll out the same ones on rotation. <\/p>\n After trying the new M&Ms variation, I have to say it might be the best one yet. <\/p>\n The combination of the sugar shapes and the chocolate pieces work really nicely together, providing different textures with a bit of crunch too.<\/p>\n Topped with a tasty Galaxy chocolate sauce, it's one of the best McFlurrys I've had and I would personally say it should be made permanent.<\/p>\n Having so many toppings on the ice cream means that every spoonful is packed full of taste, texture and flavour.<\/p>\n The McFlurry comes in two different sizes: the original and the mini.<\/p>\n These cost \u00a31.99 and \u00a31.49 respectively.<\/p>\n When I spotted the Twix Toffee Apple McFlurry I was intrigued to see how it would differ from the classic Twix dessert which has graced the menu several times before. <\/p>\n After seeing that it's actually topped with a toffee apple sauce I was mildly concerned, I can't say I'm the biggest fan of artificially fruit-flavoured desserts.<\/p>\n But after the first taste, I was really pleasantly surprised. <\/p>\n The combo of the sauce with the Twix biscuit pieces as well as chocolate bits worked really well together, particularly when enthusiastically swirled with the ice cream.<\/p>\n I like that it's pretty different to any of the other classic Maccies McFlurrys.<\/p>\n It too costs \u00a31.99 for a original size and \u00a31.49 for a mini.<\/p>\n The Toffee Apple Pie is an autumnal version of the iconic Maccies Apple Pie.<\/p>\n It's a crispy pastry filled with a spiced apple compote and toffee sauce, with toffee pieces.<\/p>\n The snack is the perfect warming treat and differs just enough from the classic version but not too much.<\/p>\n The toffee sauce in particular is a welcome addition, adding some extra sweetness to each bite.<\/p>\n Fans of the original and of the Chocolate Pie from the summer will be pretty impressed.<\/p>\n It costs \u00a31.99 and is also available until November.<\/p>\n I was a bit apprehensive to try the Toffee Apple Donut due to it being filled with the apple compote. <\/p>\n I haven't had a fruit-filled doughnut before, other than the classic jam, and I didn't really know what to expect. <\/p>\n Tucking into the sweet treat the toffee sauce and crumble pieces provided a nice texture to the top of the soft dough. <\/p>\n I had to take a couple of bites before reaching the apple-filling but once I did it was really tasty – sweet but not too sweet and a great accompaniment to the crumble pieces on top. <\/p>\n My only slight grumble is that the filling didn't seem to be evenly spread around the ring, which would have made it better.<\/p>\n The new doughnut costs \u00a32.19.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, here's the full run-down of the items hitting menus today and their prices.<\/p>\n Plus, parents have been left fuming after buying a McDonald's Happy Meal for their kids and finding the latest toy missing from boxes.<\/p>\n Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
