\"McFlurry<\/a><\/p>\n

They say bacon makes most things better, but I believe the same can also be said of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. (See here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Blending Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with soft serve ice cream to create the limited time only McDonald’s McFlurry with Reese’s sounds like McMagic. <\/p>\n

By the way, McMagic is quicker and cheaper than regular magic, and if you use it too much, you’ll get fat.<\/p>\n

To be honest, I thought the McFlurry with Reese’s was on McDonald’s menu all this time, which I guess shows how often I eat a McFlurry. After accidentally Googling McFluffy and then correctly Googling McFlurry, I learned the McFlurry with Reese’s is somewhat similar to the McRib in that it comes back every so often, people have created Facebook pages dedicated to it, and they both don’t have bones. <\/p>\n

While I don’t really care for the McRib, I did enjoy the McFlurry with Reese’s.<\/p>\n

If you look at the pictures, the McFlurry is topped with what appears to be a generous heaping of crushed Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and that crushed candy gives the dessert a wonderful peanut butter and chocolate flavor. However, even after mixing the McFlurry, the bottom fourth of it had very little candy pieces, and I was left eating what was pretty much just vanilla soft serve. <\/p>\n

Also, there’s something else I noticed about the peanut butter cup bits. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have a distinct peanut butter flavor, but I didn’t quite taste it in this fast food dessert. It’s as if the vanilla soft serve ice cream is a flavor vampire. <\/p>\n

\"McFlurry<\/a><\/p>\n

But, again, I did enjoy the McDonald’s McFlurry with Reese’s. It’s a satisfying dessert and I definitely prefer it over another limited time only McFlurry variety — the Rolo McFlurry<\/a>. I can taste why people will take the time to set up and manage a Reese’s McFlurry Facebook fan page.<\/p>\n

Now, of course, this begs the question, if people love them so much, why doesn’t McDonald’s permanently add the McFlurry with Reese’s to their menu? Because it’s not as if its availability is based on pork prices. There’s a lot of soft serve ice cream and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in the world.<\/p>\n
