For the most part, they&#8217;re crunchy. The cocoa coating dampens the crunch a tad, but that&#8217;s better than uncoated pieces getting soggy in melting soft serve. I was expecting some saltiness from the pretzels, which would&#8217;ve made this more of a sweet and salty treat. But I&#8217;m fine with their crunch and whatever pretzel flavor comes through, which I&#8217;ll admit is not a lot. However, there are a lot of pieces. Every spoonful I dug up had a few. As for the coating, it has a mild chocolatey flavor that&#8217;s more noticeable than what\u2019s inside it. <\/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\/2022\/05\/mcdchopreflurry3.jpeg?resize=500%2C500&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"McDonald s Chocolatey Pretzel McFlurry Top\" title=\"mcdchopreflurry3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The caramel in the Mount McFlurry crater in the middle of my cup is gooey and sweet. But, unlike the pretzel pieces, it&#8217;s not as noticeable in every spoonful after I\u2019ve stirred everything a few times. Also, while it adds butteriness and more sweetness, it might&#8217;ve been better if it was salted caramel. Perhaps I should&#8217;ve asked for a salt packet to sprinkle on top. Oh, wait, salt melts ice or something, right?<\/p>\n<h3>Anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>Speaking of McDonald&#8217;s caramel topping, if it seems as if the fast food chain uses it often when it comes to new McFlurry varieties, you are McCorrect. Last year, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/05\/02\/mcdonalds-caramel-brownie-mcflurry-review\/\">Caramel Brownie McFlurry<\/a>. In 2020, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2020\/09\/23\/mcdonalds-chips-ahoy-mcflurry-review\/\">Chips Ahoy McFlurry<\/a>. And in 2019, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2019\/06\/10\/mcdonalds-stroopwafel-mcflurry-review\/\">Stroopwafel McFlurry<\/a>. I&#8217;m not complaining, but I&#8217;d like to remind the R&#038;D folks in McDonald&#8217;s test kitchens that they also have hot fudge and strawberry toppings.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>McDonald&#8217;s Chocolatey Pretzel McFlurry is tasty. Though, I&#8217;ll admit it&#8217;s not the most exciting combination when compared with previous limited time McOfferings. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s as scrumptious as the Stroopwafle or Caramel Brownie McFlurry, but it&#8217;ll satisfy a summer sweet tooth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.59<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> Regular<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> 670 calories, 19 grams of fat, 14 grams of saturated fat, 45 milligrams of cholesterol, 320 milligrams of sodium, 109 grams of carbohydrates, 75 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber, and 15 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is it?
