The McDonald's Japan Sankaku Choco Pies are headed to participating locations as a series of sweet treats perfect for consumers to pick up this fall as a way to enjoy a delicious yet convenient dessert. The pies come in two options including the pink-hued Sweet Potato and Caramel Sankaku Choco Pie alongside the Black Sankaku Choko Pie, which each offer decidedly different flavor experiences. The items are great on their own or as a dessert, while their flavor profiles will work well when enjoyed in autumnal weather.
The McDonald's Japan Sankaku Choco Pies are making their way to restaurants starting October 9, 2024 where customers can pick them up starting at 160 yen but only for a limited time.
