At a mere 530 calories in addition to the annual favorite mint flavored shake, this year the golden arched eatery is adding a chocolate version, with two layers- a chocolate shake on the bottom with a mint-custard mix on top.  A Shamrock Chocolate Chip Frappe with a mixture of mint syrup, mocha and caramel frappe, and Shamrock versions of hot chocolate and frappe' simply adding mint syrup to those beverages.

So that you don't really have to wait, they're starting to roll out these enticing diet destroyers now.  Thanks again hamburgler...
