I am a brand ambassador for Central Arkansas McDonalds. While I am being compensated for this post all thoughts and opinions are my own.
July is National Ice Cream Month and is also one of the hottest months of the year. Coincidence? I think not! I don’t know about you, but I plan on celebrating ice cream a lot this month…HA!
Luckily for me (and you!) McDonald’s has a lot of different ice cream options for you to try and I can honestly say that I have tried them all and they are all equally amazing!! So whether you like your ice cream in a cone or in a cup or eaten with a spoon or straw, McDonald’s has you covered!
McDonald’s has four basic ice cream options to choose from and then several flavors for each. That’s a lot of ice cream to cover so let’s get to it!
Vanilla Cone. This is just your basic vanilla soft serve ice cream swirled up in a crispy cone. You can’t go wrong with this classic, however I find it a bit messy so plan accordingly. I always ask for extra napkins with my cone because I am a grade A klutz! HA!
Sundaes. Oh my word, I love a good sundae on a hot summer day!! McDonald’s sundaes come in three yummy flavors….Hot Fudge, Caramel and Strawberry. If you know me, and I think most of you do at this point, then you know Caramel is my JAM. But I have to say that Hot Fudge is a close second. Don’t forget to ask for nuts!!
McFlurries. Hello my favorite ice cream treat of 2016! I don’t know what it is about a McFlurry that makes me drool but I love these things! Right now McFlurries are available in two flavors, M&M and Oreo, but be on the lookout because McDonald’s likes to sneak a surprise flavor in every once in awhile…miss you Reese’s McFlurry of Summer 2015!!! And other areas of the country got Kit Kat McFlurries and over in Australia they got a Cadbury Egg McFlurry!! I would be so broke if Arkansas ever got a Cadbury Egg McFlurry. Just sayin’…
Shakes. Some days require you to be a little more hands free and this is where the ever so delicious McDonald’s shake comes in! There three shake flavors always on hand…vanilla, chocolate and strawberry, and one seasonal, shamrock. I don’t think we have gotten the Shamrock Shake in central Arkansas (which is a crying shame because those bad boys are delicious) but my fingers are always crossed for next year!!
So now that we have covered all of this sweet, cold, deliciousness I am ready for an M&M McFlurry ASAP…and what better place to get a sweet treat on this hot summer day than the completely remodeled McDonald’s in North Little Rock on McCain?? Today is the GRAND OPENING and yesterday I got to go to a preview party!
I got to go “behind the scenes” and tour the back area and I even got to make my very own Carmel Frappe and see the McFlurry station!! Y’all know I was in heaven, right? HAHAHA!!
What is your favorite ice cream treat from McDonald’s??
McFlurries are the best. I love getting them whenever I stop at McDonald’s. I always opt for extra candy, too. I love my candies in my ice cream! ;)
Oh man that is such a bad idea to write about LOL. I have such a weakness when it comes to ice cream. Now you got me craving ice cream LOL.
I had no idea it was national ice cream month! I have always loved the plain vanilla cones at McDonalds. They just hit the spot.
I had no idea McDonalds is celebrating this. I love their McFlurries. Need to drop by their store later to check this out.
So so tempting. I love McDonald’s ice cream. Right now I’m enjoying the frozen strawberry lemonade. – Yolonda
I love McDonald’s ice cream. I love the chocolate shakes as well as the McFlurries. Those are my favorites!
My favorite treat is a Oreo McFlurrie with caramel added. It is so delicious my kids love them.
Summertime (or anytime really) is the perfect time for anything Ice Cream! YUM!
I love McDonald’s ice cream. It is low fat and I love it. I had a chocolate dipped cone a few nights ago. :)
That looks so good just about now, it’s pretty hot out here in our neck of the woods. I might hit up McDo pretty soon.
I don’t know how I missed that it was national ice cream month! I’ve missed part of the month celebrating!
I am a big fan of their McFlurries! Yum! Didn’t know it’s national Ice Cream month. Would certainly celebrate!
sweet deal at the McD’s ice cream is awesome! my favorite dessert as a matter of fact :)
You had me at Ice Cream!! I’ll be heading to the drive thru this afternoon for sure.
I am a big fan of McDonald’s ice cream cone! So good and affordable!
I love McDonalds ice cream especially their mc flurry. I really don’t mind celebrating with them. :P
I didn’t even know there was an ice cream month! I love to get a McFlurry from McDonalds. I ask them to mix in some caramel too. It is so good.
I wish they had this happening at my local McDonalds too! I’d be there every day!
