The Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry is back for another year.
As we inch closer to springtime and the Easter holidays, it's only natural that our consumption of ice cream and easter eggs should skyrocket- right? Ensuring that every town in the UK gets their sweet craving fix in one irresistible combination, McDonald's has released a limited-edition menu just in time for Easter.
And yes, it includes the Creme Egg McFlurry.

McDonald’s has also revealed that it's not just dessert that's getting a springtime upgrade, some tasty new options have been added to the menu just in time for Easter, and a few fan-favourites are also making a return.
Earlier this week, the popular fast food chain confirmed that fans will once again be able to indulge in the limited-edition dessert, which is made from dairy ice cream, swirled with Cadbury milk chocolate pieces, and the trademark gooey Cadbury Crème Egg fondant sauce running all the way through.
The Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry comes in both the regular and mini size, and will be available from just 99p.
Although the McFlurry is undoubtedly one of the most-anticipated returning menu items with Easter being a few weeks away, it’s not the only thing due for a comeback, as McDonald’s has also confirmed that the popular Big Tasty burger is making an appearance, as well as a brand-new BBQ version.

The Big Tasty – which is known to rotate on the menu on a limited basis throughout the year – is made with 100% British and Irish beef, melty cheese made with Emmental, tomato, lettuce, slivered onions and lashings of Big Tasty sauce, all sandwiched between a sesame seed bun.
The Big Tasty, the Big Tasty Bacon, and the brand-new Big Tasty BBQ will all be available on the menu for a limited time only.
The original will be priced at £4.89, while a version with bacon, or BBQ will be priced at £5.39.

Joining the Big Tasty range on the new menu, the Homestyle Crispy Chicken Burger will be making a long-awaited return for £4.39 each, as will the equally-loved Cadbury Caramel McFlurry at 99p, and some brand-new Chilli Cheese Bites, which will set you back just £1.99 per portion.
The Chilli Cheese Bites come in a portion of four, are coated in a crispy batter, and served with a rich tomato dip.
All these menu items are now available at McDonald’s branches across the UK.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”
Madre Leeds will open soon and you can even grab yourself a free margarita by signing up to their newsletter here.
We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
