McDonald's Introduces S'mores Pie for Summer
In advance of National S'mores Day and National S'mores Month, which both fall in August, McDonald's has added a new dessert to their roster: Baked S'mores Pie.
Dessert sightings were first reported in Florida, where customers said the marshmallow and chocolate-filled hand-held pies were coming out of McDonald's oven. But we learned the campfire favorite is actually now offered nationwide. McDonald's locations across the country began selling the sweet on June 18 with confirmation from the mega-chain's publicist that the product will be available for a limited time through September 11, 2012. (Eleven days past the honorary month.)
How does the baked pie hold up against its fire-roasted sibling?
According to the blog theimpulsivebuy.com, the warm pie was brimming with chocolate, which leaned more towards dark than milk, and it was "buttery, dense, and mercifully not too sweet." Though the chocolate and marshmallow is enveloped in a graham cracker-based pie crust, the shell, unfortunately, didn't get the thumbs up from the blogger.
Wonder how the nutritional profile for Baked S'mores stacks up? It's got 290 calories, 12 fat grams, 41 grams of carbs, and 210 mg sodium. On the bright side, the dessert gives you 2g of your daily fiber!
