McDonald’s Galaxy Caramel flavoured McFlurry is back and everyone is loving it
The Galaxy Caramel flavour is only available until January 30 and costs £1.29 for a regular size
MCDONALD'S has brought back its Galaxy Caramel McFlurry for January, replacing its festive Malteser reindeer flavour.
It's available in McDonald's restaurants from today where you can pick up a regular size for £1.29 or a mini version for 89p.
The flavour combines small pieces of Galaxy chocolate with a smooth caramel sauce.
But you'll have to be quick if you want to try one, as it's only available until January 30.
The Galaxy Caramel McFlurry was spotted by one hotukdeals user who commented: "Now I really do have a reason to go McDonalds!".
And it seems people are excited to try it with another user replying: "Thanks for the heads up. My boys are gonna be super excited when they see this".
How to save money on your McDonald's meal
FROM creating a budget version of a Big Mac to dodging the sugar tax on drinks, these are the cleverest ways to knock a few pounds off your meal:
- Make a Big Mac for £1.49 by ordering a double cheeseburger but ask to substitute ketchup and mustard for the special sauce and add shredded lettuce. It might look a bit sub-par and it crucially won't have the third slice of burger bun but it tastes like the real deal. It will cost just £1.49 compared to a £3.49 Big Mac - a £2 saving.
- Save 30p off ice cream by opting for a 59p Mini McFlurry instead of an 89p Ice Cream Cone at the fast food giant.
- Get £2.20 off a McChicken Sandwich which normally costs £3.19 by ordering the very similar 99p Mayo Chicken.
- Triple the size of a McMuffin for £2.80 by using a customise feature on the self-service till to beef up his burger for £6.99. Normally, an egg McMuffin meal costs £4.19.
Another added: "The Galaxy one looks awesome! Got to go and try this one tomorrow."
But some people are not so happy that the Malteser reindeer Mcflurry has been taken off the menu.
One customer, Alex, wrote on Twitter: "Waited so long to try a maltesers mcflurry and I get home to find they've fobbed me off with a Galaxy Caramel?!".
A regular sized Galaxy Caramel McFlurry contains 380 calories and 50g of sugar, while a mini sized version has 190 calories and 25g of sugar.
So if you opt for a regular size this is equivalent to a huge 12 teaspoons of sugar.
According to the NHS, the recommended daily calorie and sugar intake for an adult is 2,000 calories and 90g of sugar.
McDonald's has around 1,300 restaurants in the UK and you can find your nearest branch using its online tool.
