A new Gold Sauce is on its way to the Golden Arches.

McDonald’s announced its Special Edition Gold Sauce this week, flavored with a blend of vinegary North Carolina BBQ sauce with notes of honey, smoke, and mustard, according to a news release.

New menu items, including the Special Edition Gold Snack Wrap, Bacon Special Edition Gold McCrispy, and Bacon Special Edition Gold Deluxe McCrispy, will all be available nationwide on September 3.

Customers can also order a side of Gold Sauce to try on existing items, including McDonald's recommendation of McCrispy Strips and fries.

The gold-color sauce will arrive a week after the return of McDonald's Pumpkin Spice Latte and Pumpkin & Creme Pie on Friday.

The beloved Pumpkin Spice Latte is made with rich, freshly brewed espresso, steamed milk, and a blend of pumpkin and cinnamon flavors. It is available hot or iced.

The Pumpkin & Creme Pie is a flaky, golden turnover-style crust baked with a sweet sugar topping and filled with creamy pumpkin pie on one side and smooth creme on the other.

The new and returning menu items follow McDonald’s announcement that the fast food chain will cut combo meal prices by about 15 percent after backlash over rising costs, with a $10 meal soon dropping to $8.50.
