McDonald's Canada updated its menu to add something new. The fast-food chain announced the arrival of the new Bacon' N Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder.
The new food item offers a new twist to McDonald's Canada's signature Quarter Pounder as it was upgraded to include delicious ingredients that were already mentioned in its name - bacon and crispy onion.
As posted on McDonald's Canada website, the new Bacon' N Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder boasts of a quarter-pound 100% pure Canadian beef patty. It was made into a delectable sandwich with the addition of hickory-smoked bacon strips, crispy onions, pickles, two slices of cheddar cheese, and creamy grilled onion sauce.
McDonald's also added ketchup and mustard to the sandwich enclosed in toasted sesame seed buns. According to Canadify, customers can also order this sandwich with two patties, and this option is called the Double Bacon' N Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder.
These are available at participating McDonald's restaurant outlets around Canada. Then again, it should be noted that the new sandwich will only be in stores for a limited time.
For health-conscious customers, the Bacon' N Crispy Onion Quarter Pounder at McDonald's Canada has 680 calories for a single patty sandwich. The burger is priced at $7.49 for a la carte and $11.49 for the meal that comes with fries and a drink.
Aside from the new burger item, McDonald's Canada also announced the return of its holiday drinks. The burger joint brought back its peppermint-flavored drink line for this Christmas season.
The said beverages were not on the holiday menu last year, so fans are excited about its return after a long time. Narcity mentioned that two favorites, which are the Peppermint Mocha and the Peppermint Hot Chocolate, are now available at McDonald's Canada stores.
The Peppermint Hot Chocolate is a nice holiday beverage made with an unbeatable blend of chocolate peppermint syrup and steamed frothed milk. It is served with whipped cream and crushed candy cane bits as colorful decoration on top.
Lastly, the Peppermint Mocha features espresso, chocolate peppermint syrup, and steamed frothed milk. And just like the hot chocolate, it also comes with whipped cream and crushed candy canes on top.
