The McDonald's Italy Chocolate Salami is a new offering from the brand's McCafe branch that will offer consumers with a deceptive dessert that doesn't skimp on sweet flavor.
The dessert contains salami in the name, but is free from meat and is instead crafted with a blend of chocolate and cookie pieces that have been rolled into a cured meat-shaped product. This is then sliced into servings for consumers to pick up, which will make it a welcome addition to the menu for consumers who are looking for a way to enjoy the traditional Italian and Portuguese dessert.
The McDonald's Italy Chocolate Salami is perfect as a sweet treat after a meal or as a pairing with a coffee.
