McDonald’s is introducing a new treat that will satisfy anyone craving something extra sweet. The fast-food giant is launching the Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Frappe, a delightful blend of flavors that will surely excite dessert lovers. This limited-time drink combines McDonald’s signature Mocha Frappe and Caramel Frappe bases. It also includes a touch of coffee and is mixed with rich chocolate chips, making it a sweet, dreamy experience.
To make this frappe even more special, it’s topped with whipped light cream and sprinkled with more chocolate chips. This version of the Chocolate Chip Frappe is different from its earlier offerings. McDonald's shared that this new recipe is co-branded with Hershey’s and features a new topping of whipped cream and chocolate chips, instead of the old chocolate drizzle. It’s designed to give fans an extra special treat.
This new Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Frappe is available for a limited time at participating locations, so it won’t be around forever. Although McDonald’s didn’t provide a specific end date, they urged customers to try it while it lasts. It is being offered in select cities including Chicago, San Francisco, St. Louis, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Miami. So, if you live in one of these areas, be sure to grab one soon!
While the Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Frappe is a temporary menu addition, McDonald's is also rolling out some exciting permanent items. On April 24, they announced the arrival of McCrispy Strips, made with juicy, 100% white meat chicken. These strips are coated with a crispy, golden-brown breading and offer a bold black pepper flavor. They come with a new Creamy Chili Dip, which has a savory, sweet, and tangy taste. This new combination is expected to be a hit among customers, especially for those who enjoy crispy chicken.
Cesar Piña, the senior vice president and chief supply chain officer at McDonald's, emphasized the hard work and collaboration involved in bringing new items to the menu. He said that McDonald's holds itself to high standards to ensure that each new product meets customer expectations. From sourcing ingredients to preparation, McDonald's strives to deliver top-quality items for its customers.
Though the McCrispy Strips are here to stay, the Hershey’s Chocolate Chip Frappe is just a limited-time offer, so fans need to act quickly if they want to enjoy it. If you’re craving a sweet, chocolatey treat, this frappe is the perfect option. Pair it with the McCrispy Strips for the ultimate McDonald’s experience while it’s still available.
