Horrible

Not even saved by quality butter and peanut butter

M&S did chocolate orange ones one year which were divine and never made them again. Sad times. You can keep your revolting salted caramel alternatives.

Also if you don't like something you don't have to eat it. Or you could make it into bread and butter pudding. Even a sad bun is transformed with the additions of chocolate and custard.

To me sultanas and spices are in hot cross buns.
Other flavours shouldn't be called hot cross buns however nice or otherwise they are.

I like the old fashioned tradition best.

The only ones worth eating are from m&s, they are AMAZING, all others aren’t worth the time

So what you're telling me is that I have to eat all of this pack (because while I say they're horrible, I mean it is cake and it is chocolate so Im not saying that they cant be eaten), I have to eat this whole pack I think you said and then I have to go to M+S and buy some more and eat that whole pack as well.

I think thats what you said.

I think Iceland is great.

Chocolate hot cross buns are all kinds of wrong though and it's not even Lent yet.

Well I thought someone would mention M+S.

Mine are from Iceland so I know what people are going to say about that.

I picked some up from m&s this morning, delicious when microwaved for 20 seconds.
