MCDONALD'S is launching a new menu just in time for Halloween, and it features new drinks and the return of an iconic burger.
The fast food giant is adding the new items to its menus across the UK from today.
Among the items hitting menus today is the iconic McRib, which has sparked a huge reaction from fans.
The McRib, last seen on menus in early 2015 on a temporary basis, combines a pork patty with tangy BBQ sauce, pickles and onions.
Fast food fans will be able to buy one for £4.49 as an individual item or £6.19 as part of a medium extra value meal.
The burger, which we were one of the first to try ahead of its launch, contains 509 calories.

Customers have since been posting online buzzing that the menu item is back after an almost 10-year wait.
One said on Facebook: "My absolute favourite, welcome back Ribby. Please don't leave us again."
Others wrote: "It's what dreams are made of" and "cannot wait, it's been way too long".
Also hitting the menu is the Toasted Marshmallow Latte, which will be perfect when the nights draw in and the temperature drops.

The latte costs £2.59 but prices may vary depending on the location.
It’s topped with whipped cream and a toasted marshmallow-flavoured dusting.
Those who don’t like coffee can enjoy the Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate, which has the same syrup, whipped cream and dusting.
The Toasted Marshmallow Latte is 40p more expensive than the Toasted Marshmallow Hot Chocolate, which only comes in a large and costs £2.19.
Fans of the limited-edition Mozzarella Dippers are also in for a treat as McDonald’s launches new Cheese Bites.
They come in portions of five for £2.49 or a sharebox of fifteen for £6.79.
Each portion of five Mozzarella and Emmental bites has a smoky caramelised onion-flavoured breadcrumb coating.
All Cheese Bites are served with a BBQ Dip.
Meanwhile, McDonald’s popular Hash Browns are getting an upgrade this season.
The fast-food franchise will start selling mini Hash Browns across its restaurants from today as part of its breakfast offering.
Maccies fans can pick up five for £1.49 or a Sharebox of 15 for £2.99.
The Sun exclusively got to try them and said they are better than the original.
Making its return since its debut last autumn is the Toffee Apple Pie.
The popular crispy pastry will be filled with the same spiced apple compote, toffee sauce and toffee pieces as last year.
It will be available for £1.99 at McDonald’s restaurants.
There are also two McFlurrys returning to menus this month.
The fan-favourite Halloween M&M’s McFlurry is back. It's topped with Halloween sugar shapes, Galaxy chocolate sauce and M&M’s.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Caramel McFlurry is also returning and will be swirled with Galaxy Caramel sauce and chocolate pieces.
Both will be available in store for £2.19, or £1.59 for the mini version.
Lovers of the McCrispy will be thrilled to see the McCrispy Deluxe joining menus next week.
The sourdough-style bun will contain a 100% chicken breast fillet in a crispy coating.
It is topped with hot and spicy mayo, caramelised onion compose, lettuce, bacon, red onions and a cheddar cheese slice.
It will cost £5.99, or £7.79 for the Medium Meal.

How to save money at McDonald's
Did you know that you can end up being charged more based just on the McDonald’s you choose to eat at?
The Sun previously found that a Big Mac meal can be 30p cheaper at restaurants which are two miles away from each other.
Another way to cut back spending at McDonald’s is by ordering from the Savers menu or by taking advantage of its ‘3 for £3’ deal when it lands in stores.
