Waxman Staff Writer Mar 16, 2016 3:29 PM UTC As if Cadbury Creme Eggs weren’t rich enough to begin with, a London bakery is now selling a croissant-donut hybrid topped with the chocolate-covered candies. Rinkoff Bakery’s “Creme Egg Crodough” is coated with “white and toffee, orange fondant” and on sale for £3 each (about $4.20) through March 26, Easter weekend. “We did them last year because Easter is such a popular season for us, and I wanted to do something that wasn’t a hot cross bun — something really visual and gimmicky,” the dessert’s creator Jennifer Rinkoff tells TIME. “I wanted it to look like a creme egg had splattered, so customers are cutting the creme egg in half so that \[the inside\] spills out all over it.” It’s the latest twist on the “cronut,” a term [trademarked](http://dominiqueansel.com/cronut-101/) by New York City pastry chef Dominique Ansel, which took off [beginning in 2013](http://techland.time.com/2013/11/14/the-25-best-inventions-of-the-year-2013/slide/the-cronut/) and inspired knockoffs at artisanal bakeries worldwide; even chains like Dunkin’ Donuts hopped on the bandwagon. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4260985/cadbury-creme-eggs-london-crodough-cronut/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4260985/cadbury-creme-eggs-london-crodough-cronut/"},"headline":"The Cadbury Creme Egg Croissant-Donut Hybrid of Your Dreams Is Here","datePublished":"2016-03-16T15:29:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:30:57.833Z","description":"The \"Creme Egg Crodough\" means spring has sprung, officially","url":"https://time.com/4260985/cadbury-creme-eggs-london-crodough-cronut/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Food & Drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfd6195f839d59687/69888b34524fc02f56df7352/screen-shot-2016-03-16-at-11-17-32-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
