The McDonald's Caramel Popcorn McFlurry is a new kind of frozen treat from the QSR brand that's ready to provide patrons with a textural experience this summer. The McFlurry features the brand's signature vanilla soft serve ice cream that has been paired with ample caramel sauce along with crispy caramel-covered popcorn before being blended all together. The final result is a sweet, crunchy and savory treat perfect for existing fans to try out, but that's also great for newcomers.
The McDonald's Caramel Popcorn McFlurry is being launched exclusively at participating locations in Canada starting June 20, 2023 but will only be around for a short while. The treat comes as part of a wider shift towards artisan-inspired desserts within the QSR industry.
