This year, McDonald’s brought back the fan-favorite McRib, which was first introduced in 1981, according to McDonald’s Wiki. The McRib is a sandwich that features a rib-shaped boneless pork patty, barbecue sauce, onions, and pickle slices.
Dunkin also brought back its festive Pink Velvet Macchiato for Valentine's Day. It features bold espresso, red velvet cake flavor, and notes of cream cheese frosting to give it that ombre pink color.
Hot honey was definitely hot on menus this year. An example was Wingstop's reintroduction of its Hot Honey Rub. The rub features a bold kick of cayenne pepper and ancho chili.
Also, you can't forget Taco Bell's Decades menu, which lists some of the most popular items from each decade, starting with the 1960s. Their caramel apple empanada was introduced again, which consists of a golden brown, crispy empanada loaded with warm apple pieces and a creamy filling with caramel notes.
