McDonald’s has revealed that 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.
That’s right, the Cadbury Creme Egg McFlurry is back.
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.

All these menu items are now available at McDonald’s branches across the UK.

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo and they’re so cute

Three tiny ‘chaos potatoes’ have been born at Chester Zoo… and they’re really flipping cute.
Born to parents Maris and Albert in late summer, the three rock hyrax pups – only affectionately known as ‘chaos potatoes’ – have just passed their first vet check with a clean bill of health, and now weigh roughly 350g.
Hyraxes are found across sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, where they live among rocky landscapes and are most active in daylight.
The litter includes two boys and one girl, and keepers at Chester Zoo have decided to give them potato-themed names – Russ, Spud, and Jackie.

Currently, the three pups are a fraction of the size of the adults, which can weigh up to 4kg, but despite their small stature, they have an unlikely relative.
Believe it or not, rock hyraxes are actually a part of the same evolutionary group as elephants, as well as sirenians, which are the family of aquatic mammals that includes dugongs and manatees.
“Hyraxes are one of those species that you have to look for, but once you’ve seen them, they are fascinating to watch,” explained Megan Carpenter, who is a Keeper at Chester Zoo.
“The pups are little chaos potatoes. They are much more energetic than their parents and sometimes get the zoomies, darting about and testing their climbing and parkour skills.
“In contrast, the adults often wedge themselves into corners and grip on to steep rock faces for hours at a time. They’re incredibly well adapted to living among rocks and are much better climbers than you might expect.”
