From 11am today - Wednesday, October 16 - fans of the fast food franchise will be able to head to their local restaurant and sample some delicious new options that are perfect for this cold and cosy time of year.

As well as the brand new offerings, you'll also spot some old favourites that have been brought back to enjoy at this time of year - including one that was scrapped from menus nearly a decade ago.

So whether you’re a Halloween fan wanting a seasonal sweet snack or you're on the lookout for your favourite limited-edition item rejoining the line-up, there’s something for everyone in McDonald’s new October menu.

Starting off strong with everybody's favourite side dish that has gotten a brand new revamp - the all-new cheese bites. From 11am today you can get a portion of five mozzarella and emmental bites in a smoky caramelised onion flavoured breadcrumb coating, served with BBQ dip.

It's also available as a 15-piece sharing box which is perfect for any Halloween party you're hosting or attending.

Also completely new to the menu is the toasted marshmallow latte - a smooth latte blended with toasted marshmallow flavoured syrup, topped with whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow flavoured dusting.

And if you’ve got a craving for something sweeter, McDonald’s has got you covered with the toasted marshmallow hot chocolate.

The breakfast menu will also be getting a little bit of a refresh this month thanks to the new mini hash brown bites. The crispy exterior and soft, fluffy inside is a staple part of breakfast, and now you can enjoy them in a fun size version.

As well as these new additions, McDonald's is also bringing back a few old favourites from today, which fans will be really excited about.

Most notably, the famous McRib - known for its tender pork patty, tangy barbecue sauce, pickles, onions, served all in on a homestyle bun, it has been a cult favourite since its debut. Fans have been eagerly awaiting its comeback, and now you can buy it once again, but only for a limited time.

The toffee apple pie is officially back too - a crispy pastry filled with a spiced apple compote, toffee sauce and toffee pieces.

Also rejoining the menu is the McCrispy Deluxe. Featuring 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy, crunchy coating topped with hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion compote, seasonal lettuce, bacon, red onions and a cheddar cheese slice, packed into a sourdough style bun.

Fan favourite Halloween M&M’s McFlurry is also making a comeback, made up of soft dairy ice cream swirled with M&M's and Halloween sugar shapes, topped off with Galaxy chocolate.

And other returning McFlurry is the Galaxy Caramel edition. The soft serve is swirled with Galaxy chocolate pieces, and topped with a Galaxy caramel sauce.
