McDonald is warming up summer with a dessert that’s all cool and retro bites. The fast-food behemoth just introduced a new McFlurry flavor, and lovers of sweet, gooey, chocolatey goodness have reason to rejoice. Meet the Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry, now in stores at participating McDonald’s restaurants around the country. But don’t wait, it’s only available for a limited time.
The Sweet Campfire Classic, Now in a Cup
This exciting new dessert treat is inspired by the classic campfire favorite we all love and remember: s’mores. Imagine it as your childhood memory, minus the heat, mess, and effort, but with the same great taste. At its core is McDonald’s iconic vanilla soft serve. It is a rich, sweet foundation that’s a fan favorite to begin with.
It’s mixed with bits of Hershey’s Milk Chocolate, crunchy pieces of graham crackers, and fluffy marshmallow bits. The result? A flawlessly cold, gooey-crunchy combination that tastes like summer in a cup.
Official Launch Date and Availability
The Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry officially landed on McDonald’s menus on Tuesday, June 10. McDonald’s announced it on its website as the “dessert of the season.” However, customers should note: it’s only available at select locations, and just for a short window of time. So if you’re craving one, don’t wait too long.
What McDonald’s Says About the S’mores McFlurry
In the official announcement, McDonald’s teased the treat with playful summer vibes. “Whether you’re looking to grab a sweet snack before lounging around the campfire or looking to satisfy your summer craving, the Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry will be your go-to summer dessert,” the brand said on its website. And in true pun-loving fashion, McDonald’s added: “The ‘s’more’ the merrier!”
Nutrition Details: How Much Sweet Is Too Sweet?
Craving one but watching calories? Here’s what to know:
- A regular-sized S’mores McFlurry clocks in at 460 calories.
- A mini size weighs in at 280 calories.
- It’s not strictly health food, but it’s a summer treat that is worth a few bites.
A McFlurry Lineup That Just Keeps Getting Better
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has partnered with Hershey’s for something special. Back in April, they rolled out the Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Frappe in some U.S. markets which is a rich mix of chocolate and coffee that generated buzz among frappe lovers. And in Canada, McDonald’s enthusiasts recently were treated to the Birthday Cake McFlurry, another flavor not yet slated for U.S. release. Clearly, the brand is testing, and dessert enthusiasts are on board.
Why the S’mores Flavor?
S’mores are a summer favorite. They create memories of bonfires, beach nights, camping trips, and carefree childhood days. By putting the flavor into a McFlurry, McDonald’s is harnessing that feeling of nostalgia, but making it convenient and portable. It’s a smart strategy that marries comfort, convenience, and crave-ability.
Will Snack Wraps Return Too?
Interestingly, the release of the S’mores McFlurry precedes the rumored back return of Snack Wraps, which many fans are still holding out for. While McDonald’s has not announced a date, desserts are obviously the priority right now. And if this limited-time offering does well, there’s hope we’ll see more nostalgic-themed menu items coming soon.
How to Get Your Hands on One
Want to try the new S’mores McFlurry? It’s available for in-store purchase, drive-thru, and through the McDonald’s app at select locations. Customers in Canada reportedly had early access to the flavor through the app, and the U.S. rollout now follows suit. Verifying availability close to you through the app is a good call, as this is a seasonal dessert and not all franchises may be carrying it.
Last Scoop: Get It Before It’s Gone
McDonald’s is doubling down on seasonal excitement, and the Hershey’s S’mores McFlurry is a great summer dessert. It’s rich, it’s retro, and most of all it’s only around for a limited time. Whether it’s cooling you down after a scorcher of a day, or you just want to experience the taste of an old-fashioned campfire favorite, this McFlurry is your ticket.
So be sure to run over to your local McDonald’s and get one while supplies last. Because when it comes to s’mores, we all know the rule, never go for just one.
