Yesterday, McDonald’s introduced an exciting new range of menu items across the UK, including an entirely new drink and the return of some fan-favourite offerings. The latest addition to the menu is the never-before-seen Twix Latte, a coffee-based drink infused with Twix-flavored syrup, topped with caramel cream, and finished with a sprinkle of Twix crumbs. Priced at £2.69 for a medium and £3.29 for a large, this drink promises to satisfy both your caffeine and chocolate cravings.
Alongside the new latte, McDonald’s has brought back the popular Philly Cheese Stack burger and Mozzarella Dippers. The Philly Cheese Stack, a hit when it debuted last October, is packed with two beef patties, a rich cheese sauce, two slices of cheese, crispy and grilled onions, and pickles, all served in a toasted bun. It’s available for £5.29 on its own or £7.19 for a medium meal.
The Mozzarella Dippers, which are breadcrumb-coated mozzarella sticks served with a salsa dip, return in packs of three for £2.39 or a sharebox of nine for £6.49. Other returning favorites include the Chicken Big Mac, Galaxy Chocolate McFlurry, and Twix Caramel McFlurry, offering even more variety to the McDonald's experience.
Yesterday, we went to sample some of these new and returning items ourselves, opting for the Mozzarella Dippers and the Philly Cheese Stack. The Mozzarella Dippers are one of those items that can be hit or miss, depending on how fresh they are. When freshly made, as they were during our visit, they were warm, gooey, and satisfying. However, once they cool down, they lose their appeal, becoming cold chunks of cheese encased in breadcrumbs. If you're dining in, these can be a worthwhile choice, but if you're planning to take them away, you may be left disappointed.
The Philly Cheese Stack, on the other hand, is a standout. It first launched last October and immediately became one of my favourite burgers at McDonald’s. The combination of beef patties with both grilled and crispy onions gives it a unique "fairground" burger vibe, unlike anything else on the menu. The patties are distinct in size—not as thick as a Quarter Pounder, but not as slim as those in a Double Cheeseburger—and the creamy cheese sauce elevates this burger to near gourmet status. I personally would love to see this become a permanent fixture on the menu.
If you haven’t had the chance to try these new items yet, I recommend giving them a go. Whether you’re craving something sweet like the Twix Latte or looking to indulge in the rich, savoury flavours of the Philly Cheese Stack, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
