McDonald’s Easter menu lands today – with three brand new limited edition treats and two favourites returning

McDonald’s fans in the UK are in luck, because today the new Easter menu arrives, including three new limited-edition treats.

The delicious items, which will hit stores from 11am, will be here for a limited time only, so fans will have to hurry to make the most of them.

McDonald’s humble pie has been reinvented again, this time combining sweet and spicy flavors for a delicious Easter-themed dessert.

The Hot Cross Bun Pie, which costs £1.99, is made up of a crunchy cinnamon pastry, filled with a spiced fruit mixture and buttery cream filling.

It replaces the limited edition Raspberry and White Chocolate Cake that was introduced for Valentine’s Day.

The second new arrival for spring continues the theme of spiced fruit and butter flavors.

To celebrate the nation’s love of the hot cross bun, the new Hot Cross Bun Latte will appear on the drinks menu, priced at £2.69.

The limited edition treat is a smooth latte blended with a sweet and spicy Hot Cross Bun flavored syrup, topped with cinnamon cream and a Hot Cross Bun flavored sprinkle.

Finally, it wouldn’t be a McDonald’s menu without a new McFlurry flavor to try.

Replacing the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry Valentine’s Day menu will be the Galaxy Truffle Bunny McFlurry, which will cost £2.19.

It consists of milk ice cream with pieces of Galaxy truffle, Galaxy rabbit ears and drops of white and dark chocolate, covered with Galaxy chocolate sauce.

As well as the new Easter additions, some old favorites will also be returning to the UK fast food chain’s restaurants.

If you’re not a Galaxy fan, the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry (£2.19) is a dessert option among the spring offerings.

Fan favorites McCrispy Deluxe and Halloumi Fries will also be available again starting today.

The 100% chicken breast fillet burger will be drizzled with hot and spicy mayonnaise, along with a sprinkle of caramelized onion compote and red onions.

Accompanied by seasonal lettuce, bacon and a slice of cheddar cheese, the delicious burger will be priced at £5.89.

If you want to buy the crispy chicken burger with a medium drink and fries, it will cost you £7.79.

Meanwhile, coated in a light batter and served with a rich tomato sauce, Halloumi Fries are available for £2.79.

Cheese lovers who want to get their hands on a whole box of twelve will have to shell out £7.39.

However, to make room for the Easter menu, some other much-loved dishes have to go.

The British will say goodbye to Big Tasy, Big Tasty with bacon, Mozzarella Dippers with sauce and Mozzarella Dipper Sharebox with sauce.

Featuring a 100% beef patty, Emmental cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and a unique smoky-flavored sauce, all on a toasted bun, the Big Tasty is a fan favorite you won’t miss.

The menu change comes just after McDonald’s UK and Ireland announced it will be making its most significant menu change in decades, as the chain celebrates its 50th anniversary.

In the big shake-up, the restaurant will make changes to the recipes for its beloved beef burgers, promising they will be “better than ever.”

Fan favorites that will see changes include the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder with Cheese, and of course, the classic cheeseburger variations, including the double and triple.

McDonald’s describes the adjustments as “small modifications” to the way it cooks and prepares its beef burgers, improving “all the elements that customers enjoy most.”

From placing onions on top of each burger as it cooks on the grill for added flavour, to changing the browning of beef patties – the chain insists the recipe change will create its “most delicious burgers yet”.
