I\u2019m not sure if you get double the chocolate sauce with 12, but it\u2019s probably worth asking for. I went with the six-pack for $1.59.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/McDonalds-McCafe-Donut-Sticks-with-Chocolate-Sauce-Innards.jpeg?resize=599%2C562&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald s McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce Innards\" title=\"McDonald's McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce Innards.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"562\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They look the same as the ones from earlier this year. They&#8217;re incredibly light, super flaky, and very fragrant of cinnamon and donutty goodness. I would almost call these &#8220;cronut sticks,&#8221; but they lack a few pastry layers to qualify fully. My car began smelling like a donut shop almost immediately after I\u2019d received the bag. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/McDonalds-McCafe-Donut-Sticks-with-Chocolate-Sauce-2.jpeg?resize=600%2C594&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald s McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce 2\" title=\"McDonald's McCafe Donut Sticks with Chocolate Sauce 2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"594\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s talk about this chocolate sauce. This sauce is thicc. It&#8217;s also smooth, sticky, rich in chocolate color, and it adhered well to the donut sticks. I did find I needed to be careful, as some of the pieces were a little too fragile and would sort of collapse from the pressure of the \u201cscoop.\u201d But a generic dip was quite successful.<\/p>\n<p>The sauce tastes exactly like the hot fudge topping on McDonald&#8217;s soft serve sundae and comes in packaging similar to McNugget dipping sauces (careful not to mix those up, although honey could be an interesting adventure for these donut sticks. OOH! Or Hot Honey! Okay, I digress.)<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the chocolate is a welcomed addition to the already delightful donut sticks. It\u2019s not overpowering, and there was enough sauce in the container to dip my way through all six pieces. The chocolate doesn\u2019t take this treat to an overly luscious place, but it certainly elevates the regular sticks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $1.59<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 6 Donut Sticks + 1 oz.
