McDonald's launches Nutella burger in Italy

The 'Sweety con Nutella' sees a thick wedge of the popular hazelnut spread

McDonald's has just launched a Nutella burger - but you'll have to travel to Italy for it.



The 'Sweety con Nutella' has the popular hazelnut spread sandwiched between two giants buns. It even comes in a signature burger box, just like a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder.

The new product will be available in the chain's cafes, but not at the hot food counters. The addition of this burger to their menu was announced on the fast food giant's Facebook page on Thursday with the message, "A soft sweetness has arrived that you will not be able to resist. Try Sweety with Nutella now: soft bread with a creamy, indulgent centre."



In addition to the Nutella burger, the Italian McDonald’s also features a pecorino cheese topping that no other McDonald’s in the world offers and has tiramisu on their dessert menu.

But Italy’s McDonald’s is not the only one to have special items reserved for its customers. The fast food giant's Asian customers have a deep fried katsu burger and a black bun burger on their menu.



The Nutella burger obviously took over the internet with the post being shared more than 50,000 times and attracting 30,000 likes. It was also celebrated on Twitter:
