First up on the new McDonald’s menu is the Milkybar Raspberry Ripple McFlurry, which features soft dairy ice cream swirled with mini Milkybar chocolate drops and topped with a raspberry sauce.
If you prefer milk chocolate, the Munchies Cookie Dough McFlurry is made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with chocolate-coated Munchies biscuit pieces and topped with a caramel cookie dough sauce.
Both are priced at �2.19 for the original size and �1.59 for the mini, but prices may vary across UK restaurants.

A new side is coming to the fast food chain this week that will get your taste buds tingling, Cheesy Garlic Bread Dippers.

The Hat Trick Burger, Skittles McFlurry and Galaxy Chocolate and Raspberry Pie will be leaving the menu this week to make room for the new additions.
Much-loved burgers making a return
The menu also sees the return of the Double Big Mac and�Double Big Mac with Bacon, which feature four 100% beef patties, a slice of cheese, lettuce, onion, pickles and Big Mac sauce.
A Double Big Mac Meal, which includes fries and a drink, will set you back �7.19, while the bacon option is a little more at �8.09.
If you prefer chicken, another burger is making its first re-appearance since October 2023, the�McCrispy BBQ Smokehouse, at �7.49 for a meal.
It’s made up of 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating with a smoky BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, red onion and lettuce, all in a sourdough-style sesame-topped bun.
