Aldi Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns - literally heaven!

[JMAngel1]

Just sayin'
Who knew?

Alright gobby don't tell mnet you will start a stampede
ate two packs already

Ha ha - they're going to fly out like - aaaaah!
Seriously people, leave some for me in Cheadle branch - I'm going back in!!

I’m really glad you like these - I work for the company that makes them! I tried them a few months ago and loved them immediately

We have a new-ish Aldi locally that I haven't got round to visiting yet...definitely making a trip this week now!

Going later. What section of the store are they in?

They are lovely, they must be quite new, because they hadn't any when I first looked for chocolate ones.

I bought the chocolate/caramel ones too, but I haven't opened them yet.

So jealous.
I am in Australia and the Aldi hot cross buns here are disgusting

Oh my goodness that sounds so good. I love the m and s apple ones.

They are not hot cross buns if they have rhubarb and custard in them. Hot cross buns do not have chocolate in either, or apple, or caramel

Rhubarb and custards are my favourite sweets (the little fondant tubes, not the hard ones) and I can’t be trusted around hot cross buns as it is, so this could be lethal

Just come back from a shopping run and I either missed them or our local doesn't stock them :( I'll try again next time!

They sound yum, hope we get them in OZ!

My Aldi didn't have them last weekend. I hope they get them soon. I really want one.

There's an Aldi in Cheadle
Adds rhubarb hot cross buns to shopping list

I tried the Waitrose Elderflower and Lovage Hot Cross Buns last weekend.

Why are all these cakes masquerading as hot cross buns?

Why does everything have to have a new fangled flavour? Traditional foods and flavours are just fine.

Rhubarb and custard. Food of the gods.

Just got 4 more packets! I left 4 behind because I'm not greedy!!!
They're just in the bread/crumpet/waffle section.

Yes there's an Aldi in Cheadle Heath - Stockport road opposite Morrisons.

Our Aldi doesn't have any

Got a footlong strudel for 89p though, it'll have to do

What are they like? Are there separate blobs of rhubarb and of custard within the bun?

There's no custard, the 'custard' is actually white chocolate chips.

The rhubarb is there though, quite a few chunks per bun. Way nicer than sultanas and peel.

Big question before I go shopping:
Do they contain palm fat?

Aldi normal ones did last year so stopped me buying them?
Can you please check ingredients for me OP?

I'm normally a bit of a purist over hot cross buns, but tried the Tesco maple syrup and blueberry ones today which were amazing and I may just be converted.

Definitely adding the Aldi ones to my list (which I then give to my mum because she actually lives near an Aldi).

Hmm. I love rhubarb and custard but that just seems wrong so more for you lot.

I love the Waitrose wholemeal ones. The consensus in our house is that hot cross buns have got too "cakey".
