While not the exact ingredients, the at-home versions taste incredibly similar and are slightly healthier than the ones purchased through the chain.
HellthyJunkFood goes as far as sharing how to make several of the breakfast meals and sides including the Sausage McMuffin, Hash Browns and even Hot Cakes so that the foods look, taste and smell just like the chain. The at-home recipes are cheaper as well as better for the consumer.
