Unfortunately for McDonald's customers in the states, this sweet treat will only be available in select European and South Asian countries. The new Snickers McFlurry is a sweet and salty version of the chain's classic ice cream treat. Combining McDonald's soft serve ice cream with hunks of chocolate, roasted peanuts, and a swirl of caramel sauce, the new dessert offers a delicious take on the iconic candy bar. The chain is also serving a Snickers chocolate version that offers an even more intense take on sweet and salty. Set to make it debut in Pakistan, Hungary, Malta, and Cyprus, the new Snickers McFlurry will only be available for a limited-time.
