Who recommended the rhubarb and custard hot cross buns?

I think I love you

I’m not keen on the rhubarb and custard ones and we have tried a variety of hot cross buns

The Waitrose chocolate orange ones are so addictive. One is never enough!

I didn't recommend them but I absolutely love them!! The tesco orange & cranberry ones are nice too.

I tend to like the traditional ones but got the Sainsburys in-store bakery caramel and chocolate last week and to quite DD "they were delish".

No sign of R&C HCBs in my Aldi so I got some brioche ones instead. And some Chunky bars. It's going to be a good night...

This thread sounds dreamy, I have never seen a Rhubarb and Custard one or Choc Orange one!

Oh I just like the original ones best! Husband got brioche ones the other day and I wasn’t happy 😥

They sound absolutely vile

The Rubarb and custard ones were half price in my aldi recently I bought 4 packs. They are indeed very sweet and very tasty.

It is almost three weeks until Easter! Can't you wait?

I'm surprised it took this long for the hot cross bun/mince pie police to arrive.

I've tried many flavours and R&C is my favourite by a country mile. Real bits of custard going all warm and gooey in the toaster and real Rhubarb too. Outstanding!
Anyone know how long they will be available in Aldi? I assumed til easter but my local one only had a few packs left last week.

Anyone prepared to post me some?! I've traveled all the local Aldi today and can't find any

Just seen a few other posters recommending the Sainsbury's chocolate and caramel hcbs...I'm averaging a pack every two days but they haven't had any in stock since the weekend. Getting seriously panicked that they've stopped doing them.

I haven't eaten any HCB yet but I will remedy this .

I'm not a huge fan, but I want bog-standard , no deviations buns .
Toasted , no butter , just some lemon curd

I tried them and wasnt impressed. Will be popping to M&S to try some of theirs.

The aldi ones are good but are amazing with salted butter on, perfect mixture of salty and sweet

The Tesco raspberry and white chocolate ones are the favourite in our house .

I made a special trip to Aldi for the rhubarb & custard HCBs off the back of the last thread. They were everything I had dreamed they would be and more! Went back today and sadly none in sight, just berry ones and apple & cinnamon ones (I think). I am sadly ruined now and no other HCBs will do.

Uuurrrggghh I usually hate fancy wanky flavours of hot cross buns, but rhubarb and custard sounds like. I thing I have experienced before... not adding to shopping list honest

For those who say it’s too soon for hot cross buns, the crosses of the aldi ones were all off kilter, they looked more like Scandinavian flags. I ate them as a pro Europe statement

It's never too early for HCBs. Tried to make them once. Won't make that stupid mistake in a hurry again...

I have a pack of rhubard and custard HCBs in the freezer. I hope they will still taste as good when defrosted.

Bit off topic, but assuming you are rhubarb fans this recipe has been mildly life changing for me:

I bought some Tesco bakery ones (the smell drew me there)

I think they're more basic and doughy , but they'll be nice toasted .
