McFlurry with Snickers

Storage Time

Best consumed immediately; 1-2 hours in the refrigerator if absolutely necessary, but quality will degrade significantly.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F) if storing briefly, though freezing is the only viable long-term option.

Freezing

Freezing a McFlurry with Snickers is possible to preserve it, but expect a noticeable change in texture upon thawing. For best results, transfer the McFlurry to an airtight, freezer-safe container, ensuring minimal air exposure. To thaw, place the container in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight. Avoid thawing at room temperature, as this can lead to rapid melting and bacterial growth. The texture will likely be icier and less creamy than when freshly made, and the Snickers pieces may become harder.

Signs of Spoilage

• Significant ice crystal formation indicating refreezing or prolonged freezer burn.
• Off-putting sour or fermented smell emanating from the dairy base.
• Visible separation of the ice cream and candy components, with a watery or grainy texture.
