McDonald's Canada introduced the Caramel Popcorn McFlurry, combining creamy vanilla soft serve with caramel sauce and crunchy popcorn for a unique, sweet-and-salty treat. Launched in June 2023, this limited-edition dessert offers a distinctly Canadian twist to the traditional McFlurry.
McDonald's Canada Adds a Crunchy Twist with New Caramel Popcorn McFlurry
For a budget-friendly frozen treat, McDonald’s is a popular choice. In addition to classic milkshakes and cones, McDonald’s offers McFlurries — soft serve blended with chunks of Oreos or M&Ms. While U.S. locations generally stick to chocolatey flavors, international menus feature unique options. In Canada, for instance, McDonald's has introduced a caramel popcorn McFlurry, which blends vanilla soft serve with caramel sauce and popcorn for added crunch.
Contrary to assumptions, this Canadian treat doesn’t involve maple or bacon. Launched in June 2023, the Caramel Popcorn McFlurry combines the rich, buttery flavors of soft serve with the sweetness of caramel and the satisfying popcorn crunch. Canada isn’t the first to see a popcorn-inspired dessert from McDonald’s — Japan and Singapore have also offered caramel popcorn ice cream treats. This McFlurry is not a secret menu item like the apple pie McFlurry hack; it’s available to order directly at Canadian McDonald’s counters or drive-thru.
Sweet Meets Salty: McDonald's Caramel Popcorn McFlurry Delivers a Unique Canadian Dessert Twist
This flavor profile offers something unique for those looking beyond chocolate. The caramel adds sweetness, while the salt from the popcorn elevates the dessert's flavors, creating a balanced sweet-and-salty experience. Customers report that the popcorn retains its crunch despite expectations, likely because it’s added as a topping rather than mixed throughout the ice cream.
The Caramel Popcorn McFlurry is available in two sizes: snack and regular. The snack contains 52 grams of sugar and 250 milligrams of sodium, delivering a sweet and salty kick. It also provides potassium, calcium, and iron, though it’s still a dessert indulgence.
There are only two main ingredients regarding allergens: the caramel sauce and popcorn contain soy, while the soft serve contains milk. With this limited allergen list, the treat remains accessible to many customers. For those heading across the border, stopping at McDonald's for a Caramel Popcorn McFlurry might be worth the trip, showcasing a distinctly Canadian twist on the classic McFlurry experience.
