McDonald's Menu: Which Sundae Is Healthier: Hot Fudge, Caramel, Or Strawberry?
McDonald's sells a wide variety of desserts, some healthier for you than others (or should we say, some not quite as unhealthy as others?). Their hot fudge is definitely a cult favorite, milkshakes date back to the earliest McDonald's menus, and those apple pies are the stuff of legend. Some desserts you should probably stay away from — a 12-ounce M&M McFlurry contains 650 calories and 23 grams of fat – but some desserts, including their fan-favorite sundaes, are reasonable in moderation.
