The fast food chain recently announced that it would be offering the [Easter-themed treat](http://time.com/4226180/carrot-cake-hershey-kisses/) for a limited time this spring. However, the candy-filled concoction will only be available in McDonald’s Australian locations, according to a [company press release](https://mcdonalds.com.au/menu/cadbury-crème-egg-mcflurry®). **Read More:** [This Is Why You’re a Total Sucker for Sweets](http://time.com/3974850/sweet-fatty-food-cravings/) Described as “a delicious mouthful of chocolate pieces and Crème Egg topping, blended into a [creamy soft serve](http://time.com/4200670/ben-jerrys-vegan-ice-cream-stores-february/),” it will be sold at “Macca’s” until April 5 (or until supplies run out), [reports The New Zealand Herald](http://m.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c%5Fid=6&objectid=11597544). Unfortunately, there is a downside. A single serving of the newest McFlurry contains 383 calories and 56 grams of sugar, which is more than double the amount that the [World Health Organization recommends](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/world-health-organization-lowers-sugar-intake-recommendations/) an adult should eat on a daily basis. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4242048/mcdonalds-cadbury-creme-egg-mcflurry/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4242048/mcdonalds-cadbury-creme-egg-mcflurry/"},"headline":"McDonald's New Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry is the Dessert of Dreams","datePublished":"2016-02-29T22:25:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:30:35.327Z","description":"Time to book a flight to Australia","url":"https://time.com/4242048/mcdonalds-cadbury-creme-egg-mcflurry/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink","Mcdonald's","Candy","Ice Cream"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4242048/mcdonalds-cadbury-creme-egg-mcflurry/","name":"McDonald's New Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry is the Dessert of Dreams"}}]}] ```
