Here's more about the new limited-edition duo:

• Sweet & Spicy Jam: The chain describes it as a breakfast-inspired "jammy red pepper dipping sauce with a tongue-numbing Szechuan peppercorn kick." It also includes apple cider vinegar and cayenne pepper.
• MamboSauce: This one is described by McD's as "a tomato-based, sweet, spicy and vinegary sauce, inspired by an Washington, D.C. area sauce staple."

The company came up with the new sauces by exploring "the incredible tastes and flavors found in communities across the country," Tariq Hassan, chief marking and customer experience officer at the chain, said in a news release.

The sauces "live at the intersection of flavor and culture-pulling from decades of rich food history and tradition in local restaurants and home kitchens, and bringing the delicious spice, sweetness and kick of heat we know today’s customers are craving," Hassan said.
