THE RECIPE for McDonald's new limited-time Grandma McFlurry has leaked online. Since the fast-food chain's announcement on May, 16, many customers have been speculating online about what the new secret grandma-inspired flavor might be. Fans theorized about the secret flavor on social media , with their only hint being that it tastes “reminiscent of grandma’s favorite treat that she hid in her purse.
” McDonald’s said customers who want to find out the flavor for themselves, "will just have to try it." But now, those dreams of customers tasting the surprise flavor and taking their best guess didn't last long. On the day of McDonald’s announcement, a Redditor who claimed to be an employee revealed the secret ingredient as butterscotch.
In the post , one commenter wrote that the location he works at, received shipments of “butterscotch crumbles," setting off the alarm. Then this week, another Redditor claiming to be a McDonald's employee posted a picture of the butterscotch syrup bottle. The bottle can be seen with a label that reads “Grandma McFlurry Syrup” on top, with "Butterscotch Flavor" written along the bottom.
This new McFlurry was revealed to be littered with butterscotch candy crumbles, and warm butterscotch flavored syrup poured on top of reduced-fat vanilla ice cream for a taste that is supposed to remind you of the treats in grandma's pockets. "I know I shouldn't probably say this," wrote one comment. "But my coworker opened up a bottle and used it in.
