McDonald’s is launching a new menu full of limited-edition treats next month, and there’s an “unmissable duo” of desserts on the lineup.
Oh, and it’s an “unmissable duo” of pink desserts, no less.
Apparently set to “captivate the taste buds” of fast food fans across the UK, it won’t be long before Maccies lovers will get to tuck into the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry, and the Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie, as the two brand-new sweet treats will soon be available from McDonald’s restaurants nationwide.
A pink twist on the Nestlé classic chocolate bar, the KitKat Ruby Chocolate McFlurry is made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with Ruby Chocolate, covered KitKat pieces and wafer bites, and topped with a sweet raspberry sauce.

If raspberry isn’t really your think though, don’t worry, as you can just keep it simple with the return of the KitKat Milk Chocolate McFlurry instead.

And if a pink KitKat McFlurry doesn’t make life rose-tinted enough for you as it is, you can pair it up with the all-new Raspberry and White Chocolate Pie too – which is described as being an indulgent crispy pink pastry filled with a smooth white chocolate ganache and raspberry compote.
The duo of desserts will officially be on the McDonald’s menu nationwide from Friday 9 February for a limited time only.

For anyone keen to get on the action a little earlier though, you can download the McDonald’s App for exclusive access two days before they arrive in store on 7 and 8 February.
It’s not just those with a sweet tooth that are being catered for with the upcoming menu reshuffle either, as there’s also a couple of returning fan-favourite burgers and massively-popular sides making a long-awaited comeback too.
It’s already been revealed that the iconic Breakfast Wrap will be available to tuck into from Wednesday 7 February, after it spent four long years off the menu.
The breakfast classic’s return also comes after thousands of fans put their name to several petitions calling for its comeback.
So, as you can probably tell, people were pretty chuffed to hear they’ll be able to order it again.
Alongside the Breakfast Wrap and the two new desserts, the fast food chain has announced that both the Big Tasty and the Big Tasty with Bacon will be making a “triumphant return”, as well as the beloved Mozzarella Dippers – which will be available either as a side of three, or in a Sharebox of nine, accompanied by a tangy salsa dip.
So if you’re up for a full-on fast food feast, then make sure you get yourself down to Maccies from Wednesday 7 February.

Manchester has been named one of the most ‘stressful’ places to drive in the UK
Emily Sergeant
The UK’s most challenging driving locations have been revealed, according to new data… and isn’t good news for Manchester.
No matter whether you’re a new driver or have years of experience behind the wheel, some roads can test even the most confident of motorists.
From congestion and poor road conditions, to limited parking and higher incident rates, it’s fair to say that some areas make driving more stressful.
But which parts of the UK are the hardest to drive in?
Well, in a bid to answer that question, MoneySuperMarket has analysed a whole host of data – such as road infrastructure, road safety, road conditions, vehicle crime concerns, and insurance-related trends – for 58 UK cities, boroughs, and local authorities to create a drivability score and discover the locations that drivers find most stressful.

Manchester, unfortunately, claimed third place on the list of top 10 most challenging locations for drivers – with an overall drivability score of 25 out of 100.
Other northern cities and towns like Leeds, Preston, Blackpool, Bradford, Wakefield, and Oldham have founded themselves in the top 10 too, meaning the North West is sadly the most-represented area.

The findings also reflect some of the concerns drivers experience on the road, with more than a third of motorists (34%) saying they have avoided driving because they were travelling in an unfamiliar area, while almost a third (32%) have chosen not to drive due to heavy traffic or congestion.
Dealing with impatient or aggressive drivers was the most commonly cited source of stress, with almost two-thirds of motorists (65%) saying they find situations such as tailgating and beeping stressful.
“Driving is part of everyday life for millions of people, but our research shows just how much stress and uncertainty it can bring,” commented Alicia Hempsted, who is a Car Insurance Expert at MoneySuperMarket.
“Particularly in areas where there are more incidents recorded, car-related thefts are more common, or where there is heavier traffic or less familiar roads.”
