When McDonald’s brought back the Snack Wrap, everyone cheered. That first bite of the iconic menu item had fans transported back in time. Now, the popular food is getting a flavor upgrade, and it is a taste that no one expected.
Across the restaurant world, sauces, dips and drizzles have taken over the food conversation. Whether it is people who want to play with their food or guests who want a flavor boost in every bite, plain is pedestrian. The bland, boring food is off on the menu.
McDonald’s Snack Wrap Gets a Flavorful Twist.
While the popular Snack Wrap is not disappearing, guests will have a new variation to try. Starting on September 3, McDonald’s is debuting a new sauce. Anyone hungry for this taste better act quickly. This specialty sauce is only around for a limited time.
The Special Edition Gold Sauce is a variation on North Carolina BBQ sauce. Made with mustard, that style of sauce is known for its vibrant, golden color.

For those unfamiliar with Carolina BBQ sauce, the condiment has a tangy, vinegar forward flavor. Honey offers a touch of sweetness and mustard brings a hint of spice. Often, an underlying smoky quality ties all the flavors together.
According to a McDonald’s statement, the new sauce was created to pair with its chicken. When used in a Snack Wrap, the flavorful sauce offers a zesty boost to the simple dish.
Is McDonald’s New Sauce Just for the Snack Wrap?
Since McDonald’s new Special Edition Gold Sauce was created to pair with its chicken, the quick service restaurant condiment can be ordered with four of the fan-favorite chicken menu items. While the Snack Wrap is the best pairing, there are other options.
Guests can try the new sauce on the Bacon Special Edition Gold McCrispy, Bacon Special Edition Gold Deluxe McCrispy and McCrispy Strips. If the McCrispy Strips are ordered, ask for a second sauce to ensure that every bite gets a dip or drizzle of that golden deliciousness.
The most interesting food pairing is the Gold Sauce with bacon sandwiches. Since bacon can be unctuous, the sauce’s punch of vinegar can cut through the richness. It is a flavor combination that will get everyone cheering.
Although this sauce is around for a limited time, fan enthusiasm could change that scenario. As people have seen across the restaurant world, vocal fans cause big changes in quick order.
