Say goodbye to these McDonald's favourites and hello to exciting new snack options
- Replies 4
It's no secret that when it comes to fast food, McDonald's is easily one of the most popular choices, especially for those looking for a quick and convenient meal on the go. But we're also aware that keeping up with new food trends and changes to popular menus is an essential part of running a business.
That said, it’s now been confirmed that the global fast food chain is shaking things up and adding four limited-edition McCafe items to menus across the country as of Wednesday, 19 April.
McDonald’s Australia has confirmed that it is adding four new menu items, and these limited-edition options are now available across all restaurants nationwide.
Customers can get their hands on a BBQ, Bacon and Cheese Toastie, Banana Bread with Blueberries, Apple Crumble Muffin and Double Choc Muffin.
However, it will remove two fan favourites to make way for the new snacks – the Mud Muffin and Blueberry Muffin will no longer be available.
It is understood that the Banana Bread with Blueberries will replace the Blueberry Muffin, and the Double Choc Muffin will replace the Mud Muffin.
Additionally, both the BBQ, Bacon and Cheese Toastie and Banana Bread with Blueberries will only be available for the next six months.
The BBQ, Bacon and Cheese Toastie is made with sourdough bread, melted Aussie jack cheese, house-grilled BBQ sauce and rasher bacon. Meanwhile, the Banana Bread with Blueberries is made with locally-sourced bananas and blueberries.
The Double Choc Muffin is described to be ‘hand finished’ with dark chocolate drizzle, while the Apple Crumble Muffin is made with apple chunks and also hand finished with crumble pieces.
A spokesperson for McDonald’s Australia revealed that the fast food chain is excited to bring the new McCafe items to its customers.
‘We're excited to see what customers think of the delicious new additions to our McCafe menu,’ the spokesperson told reporters.
They added: ‘McDonald's is always listening to customer feedback as we evolve our menu with new choices for them to enjoy.’
This announcement comes after reports that McDonald’s Australia has teamed up with Maltesers to re-create an indulgent sweet treat – one that’s been off the restaurant’s menu since 2012!
Earlier this month, it was announced that the Maltesers McFlurry was making a comeback, much to the delight of sweet-toothed customers. This fan-favourite Macca’s dessert blends delectable soft-serve ice cream with the iconic chocolate, Maltesers, and chocolate fudge sauce. It's a match made in heaven.
According to McDonald’s Australia’s Senior Brand Manager, Liz Whitbread, desserts like the Maltesers McFlurry keep the customers ‘coming back’.
‘We know how much love there is for our McFlurry collaborations, so we are very excited to launch the Maltesers McFlurry and bring together our iconic soft serve with light and delicious Maltesers,’ she said before adding that the Maltesers McFlurry will surely ‘satisfy’ your dessert cravings every time.
McDonald's also recognised the customer demand for the fan-favourite treat and acknowledged adding some variety to the menu to meet their customers' requests.

While we understand that there are people who are excited about these new products, we also sympathise with those who will miss the now-ousted Blueberry Muffins and Mud Muffins. The SDC team will certainly miss the iconic Mud Muffin; there were lots of memories over a warm muffin and a cup of coffee over the years.
