If you're a fan of Sour Patch Kids — and you probably are, because it's impossible not to be — you're going to want to sit down for this news.

Are you sitting? OK, here it goes: Sour Patch Kids ice cream is officially a thing.

Ice cream giant Baskin-Robbins developed the candy-inspired flavor as April's “flavor of the month,” and unsurprisingly, sugar-lovers everywhere are freaking out.

According to Cosmopolitan, the sweet (and sour) treat features a base of sweet marshmallow and raspberry ice creams, swirled together with a tart Redberry Sour Patch ribbon.

Because more is always better, Baskin-Robbins will also allow customers to top off their "perfectly puckering treat" with a handful of actual Sour Patch Kids.

Is it excessive? Absolutely. But for candy junkies, it's a dream come true.

Unfortunately, the over-the-top flavor will only be available for the month of April, so get your fix before it's gone for good.

Check out the ice cream (and the elated reactions to it) below.

It's official: Everyone's favorite candy has received the ice cream treatment.

Here it is in all its beautiful, sweet-and-sour glory.

Fans are crazy about it.
