McDonald's axes four popular menu items but Spicy McNuggets and Mozzarella Dippers make comeback in menu shake up

McDonald's is making major changes to its menu this week - and while some delightful limited-time products will leave for the year, other fan favourites are making a comeback.

While the leading fast food franchise is culling the tastes of Cyprus and Spain from its menu, a number of new items and old classics are set for a return.

As of tomorrow (September 7) Maccies will stop selling its Spicy Spanish Stack, Chicken Fiesta, Halloumi Fries and Spanish Fruit Punch, but the cheap and cheerful chain will bring back its beloved Spicy Chicken McNuggets - which first appeared in 2019.

The Mirror reports that the McNuggets be back with a banging new recipe, and McDonald's say that they will also be spicier than ever facing criticism for their lack of heat in the past. However, foodies won't have long to get their hands on the treat though, as they're only available until October 18.

Burger fans will rejoice after hearing that the coveted Big Tasty is also making a grand return. A British and Irish beef patty topped with melted Emmental cheese, tomato, lettuce, slithered onions, and lashings of the signature sauce - wrapped up in a toasted sesame seed bun.

The legend first came to fruition in 2003, and has made multiple yearly appearances since due to it's widespread acclaim.

McDonald's will also welcome back Mozzarella Dippers, as well as the Mars and Twix McFlurries for those who have a sweet tooth.

As well as this, the iconic McDonald's Monopoly will make a return from tomorrow - allowing customers to win anything from free food and discounts to luxury cars and cash prizes. For those who don't know, the game mimics the classic Monopoly board, with customers able to collect game stickers that represent classic roads and train stations.

Once you've collected a set, you can claim a prize - and the rarer the set, the better the giveaway is. However, the Monopoly also has a new twist in the form of a 'double peel' feature, which allows customers to collect game pieces in real life, as well as through the McDonald's app. The app itself will in-turn feature a digital gameboard and prize wallet.

How to claim McDonald's Monopoly prizes:

Customers can win prizes by collecting game pieces from selected menu items such as fries, wraps, drinks, and McFlurrys. All you have to do is peel back the game pieces from the selected items and see if you've won.

Selected items will have peels on the wrappers, and will either reveal a property or instant win. Some prizes can be won instantly then and there, while for the bigger prizes you'll need to collect property pieces of the same colour.

You can then enter the codes or scan through the McDonald's app and on http://mcdcollect.co.uk when the promotion starts. Here you'll also find a Digital Peel, where you'll get another chance at winning.

Each property that is banked in your Monopoly wallet will give you another chance at winning. You will also receive a free code to play if you sign up to the My McDonald's Rewards – this applies to both new and existing customers. Not all items will have stickers on the back.
