Those with a sweet tooth are in for a treat next month with the very egg-citing news that a Cadbury's Creme Egg pop-up cafe will land in Dublin next month.

The Crème de la Creme Egg cafe will be located within Lock 6 on Canal Road in Dublin, and will be open for a limited time between Tuesday February 16 and Saturday February 20.

Chocolate lovers can expect a range of delicious gooey treats including Creme Egg toasties, Creme Egg and soldiers and a Creme Egg tray bake. 

For those who want to try and balance their five-a-day against all of that sugar, the shop will also be serving up strawberries and Creme Egg. 

There is no entry charge to visit the cafe but customers are advised to book a place as there is a very limited availability for walk-ins. You can reserve a place by clicking here.

A Creme Egg pop-up store opened in London's trendy Soho neighbourhood last week and judging by the below Instagram snaps, we will be basking in chocolate heaven when the Dublin store opens its doors in 18 days (yes, we are counting).

So how will you be eating yours?

Last year, Cadbury's, which is owned by US giant Mondelez, came under fire for exchanging the beloved Dairy Milk chocolate for “standard cocoa mix chocolate”.

The company were quick to respond to the chocolate revolution saying that , "The Creme Egg had never been called Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Creme Egg."

Mondelez said in a statement: "The fundamentals of the Cadbury Creme Egg remain exactly the same as the original in the 1971 recipe with delicious Cadbury chocolate and a unique gooey creme filling.

"In fact, only six out of 45 years of gooey history saw the shell made with Cadbury Dairy Milk.

"Cadbury remains the number one treat at Easter. The Easter season changes every year depending on when Easter falls. It was two weeks shorter in 2015 than 2014 so it's hard to compare like for like.

"This is why most of the big chocolate brands show a fall in revenue for 2015 against 2014."

The chocolatiers sparked outrage again in recent weeks with Creme Egg enthusiasts taking to Twitter to voice their anger over the reduced size of Creme Eggs packs.

The popular six-packs have been reduced to five, but many retailers are still selling the smaller packs at the same price as they sold the six-packs last year.
