A poll of 1,500 chocolate lovers revealed biting off the top and using your tongue to lap up the contents is the most popular way to tuck in.
A quarter of those surveyed agreed that this dependable method it their go-to.
Simply biting into the egg and consuming the chocolate and filling together was a close second with 23% of people agreeing.
Other methods include sucking the creme out of the shell, which received 15% of the vote and “peeling” the foil back like a banana and biting away bit by bit, which was agreed on by 13% of voters.
Even using a teaspoon got a mention, with 3% of people admitting to the odd habit.
Meanwhile, 8% of those surveyed say they “nibble it like a small animal” to make the experience last as long as possible, while 7% eat the whole egg in one.
The research was commissioned by the makers of the egg, Cadbury, to launch its ‘Admit It To Win’ competition.
Through the campaign, the chocolate empire is inviting fans to confess how they devour their Creme Eggs, with winners receiving up to £10,000.
“We’ve long asked: ‘How do you eat yours?’” spokesperson Joshua Collier said.
“But honestly, there’s no right or wrong way and people should do their thing – we’re finding more and more wacky ways people are eating theirs.
“Some of them are almost unbelievable, and there are methods we’d never even thought of, after having produced Cadbury Creme Eggs for more than 60 years.”
Some of the more extreme ways Brits have downed a Creme Egg include deep fried, while another admitted making theirs into a sweet-and-savoury sandwich by combining with bread.
One respondent eats the goo first, then freezes the outer chocolate shell overnight and eats it the following day.
Another revealed they’ve squished the confectionary with a rolling pin before eating it with a fork.
While one fan took things to the next level by dipping chips inside it, and another admitted they suck out the goo with a straw.

The chocolate treat has also been used by 11% of those polled as a cooking ingredient – and the most popular way to use it is when making brownies, according to 39% of people.
This was followed by cookies, with 33% of people agreeing, and cupcakes at 27%.
Some have even put it on on pizza, 7%, and 6% added them to croissants – and further 6% even use it to create a sweet take on the traditionally savoury Scotch egg.
The study also found 16% of fans admit they often eat their egg alone because they are afraid others will judge the way they consume it.

And while 72% believe the gooey delight is an “Easter staple,” 47% would like to see them available year-round.
More than half believe they should be eaten at room temperature, while 27% prefer it cold, according to the OnePoll.com figures.
“Food is deeply personal, and the way we enjoy it often says something about who we are,” Joshua Collier added.
“That’s why experimenting with how we eat isn’t just fun—it’s an expression of individuality.
“Cadbury Creme Eggs have been a canvas for playful indulgence for decades, inspiring everything from debates to challenges, and this spirit of experimentation is something to be cherished.”
