- Hershey’s McFlurry — $3.20
McDonald’s runs a rotating cast of brand-collab McFlurries. Oreo is the permanent default; Cadbury, Daim, and Hershey’s show up as limited-time promos. The Hershey’s collab uses the brand’s chocolate syrup and cookie crumbs as the McFlurry mix-in, giving the soft serve a more concentrated chocolate flavour than the standard chocolate McFlurry.
The base soft serve is the McDonald’s vanilla — standard machine-pulled ice cream that’s been on every menu since the chain opened. Smooth, cold, slightly sweet, with the recognisable McDonald’s mouthfeel. Nothing special on its own but the structural base for whatever the McFlurry adds.
The Hershey’s mix-in was the headline. Chocolate syrup drizzled through the soft serve, with crumbled cookie bits scattered throughout. The chocolate syrup adds the proper rich-chocolate sweetness, and the cookie bits provide the textural crunch that lifts the McFlurry above being just a vanilla soft serve.
The proper way to eat a McFlurry is to keep stirring as you eat — the mix-in stays distributed through the cup rather than concentrating at the top. After a few minutes the soft serve softens slightly and the chocolate-vanilla mixture becomes more uniform.
At $3.20 for the Hershey’s McFlurry this is fair McDonald’s promo dessert pricing. The standard McFlurry is around $3-3.50, and the brand-collab versions usually charge a small premium.
The McFlurry slot in the McDonald’s menu is one of those reliable indulgences. Hershey’s is the limited-time variation worth catching during the promo window — the chocolate-on-chocolate combination hits a bit harder than the standard chocolate version, and the Hershey’s brand recognition gives the order its small additional charm.
October dessert run, $3.20 at the McDonald’s dessert counter, walked out with the cup, ate it on the way home.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Reliable Hershey’s McFlurry — would re-order during the promo.
