A CONTROVERSIAL Cadbury Creme Egg cookie has returned despite last year’s backlash.
The 370-calorie cookies come in boxes of four and each contains a whole Creme Egg coated in dough.
Domino’s has excitedly announced that they will be added back to menus from February 24.
Louise Pilkington, Director of Innovation at Domino’s said: “There’s a reason Domino’s Cookies made with Cadbury Creme Egg are back for the second year in a row.
“They were an instant hit last year, and we know you’ll love them just as much this time round.
“This partnership is a match made in dessert heaven. Combining our iconic cookies with the gooey delight of Cadbury Creme Egg creates an indulgent experience like no other. This is a delicious reunion not to be missed.”
The chain has not yet confirmed how much the cookies will cost but last year customers could pick them up for £6.99 a box.
A prestigious peer said Domino’s Pizza bosses “should be ashamed of themselves” for introducing the sweet treat.
The collaboration between Domino’s and Cadbury was branded “disgusting” by Lord Bethell of Romford.
He said: “This is disgusting. A whole Cadbury cream egg in a Domino’s Cookie.
“These are serious corporate food companies. What are they thinking?
“The executive team, the board and the shareholders should be ashamed of themselves.”
A spokesperson for Domino’s said that their customers tend to share their cookies and added that they are no worse than many other high street treats.

“At just over 370 calories per cookie, they are in line with the content of many other treats available on the high street such as frappes and croissants.
“We know our customers love to share our existing cookies, and we expect they will do the same with the new Creme Egg cookies.”
The chain first introduced the sweet treat last year at around this time in the lead up to Easter.
The Sun has contacted Domino’s and Cadbury for comment.
The pizza giant also introduced smaller 600-calorie pizzas and wraps for under 450 calories.
It has also launched vegan dishes, adding: “We are serious about our role in helping customers manage their nutritional intake and maintain a balanced diet with less sugar, fat and salt, as well as fewer calories.”
