FAST FOOD NEWS: McDonald’s Cinnamon Cookie Latte and Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce

News McCafe Holiday menu items

McDonald’s has given us two presents this holiday season that we have to pay for with our own money — the McCafe Cinnamon Cookie Latte and Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce.

The Cinnamon Cookie Latte features the sweet taste of cinnamon, milk, and freshly brewed 100% Rainforest Alliance Certified espresso. It’s also topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s available hot or cold, and can be ordered all day long throughout the holiday season.

The McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce combines the cinnnamon and sugary treat that made its debut earlier this year with a side of chocolate sauce. It’s available by the half-dozen or dozen, and only during breakfast hours.

If you’ve tried either one, let us know what you think in the comments.

News Dunkin Beyond Sausage Sandwich

Today, Dunkin’ rolled out nationally its Beyond Sausage Sandwich, which was tested over the summer in Manhattan. It tested so well that the chain decided to launch it nationwide earlier than expected.

The sandwich showcases Beyond Meat’s breakfast sausage patty made with 100% plant-based protein and a mix of spices crafted specifically for Dunkin’. It also features an English muffin, egg, and American cheese. The Beyond Sausage Sandwich has 29% less fat, 33% less saturated fat and fewer calories, cholesterol, and sodium than a regular Dunkin’ Sausage, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich on an English muffin.

To celebrate the national launch, Dunkin’ will be offering customers a complimentary sample of the new sandwich on Friday, November 8 and Saturday, November 9, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at participating U.S. locations, while supplies last.
