Overwhelmed by M&S hot x bun choice - help!

46 replies

Bezalelle · 28/02/2020 17:31

I was in M&S today and saw the hot cross buns. Decided to buy some, but was so inundated by the heady varieties that I ended up with the boring regular 'luxury' ones.

Are the other flavours good? Which are best?? I want to be better prepared next time I go in.

Booths did dark chocolate and ginger last year, they were amazing!

Raspberry and white chocolate from Tesco trump the M&S ones

The salted caramel ones make an amazing bread and butter pudding...not that they usually last that long Grin

Chilli and cheese with the cheddar with diabolo chilli's Smile

Sounds delicious

Tesco hasnt done the Blueberry and Maple syrup ones this year Sad They were my fave

Looks like the St Clements ones have replaced them.

@bigbadoldbag Tried one a couple of weeks ago not realising they have cranberries in them. Yuk

I'm assuming Lulu was joking. I thought it was funny, anyway.

Tesco salted caramel and chocolate ones are amazing.

HeIenaDove · 28/02/2020 20:25

So what are the flavours that M&S are doing?

sueelleker · 28/02/2020 20:26

I like the Sweet Orange Marmalade ones. They're nice with a bit of Cheddar.

MargotLovedTom1 · 28/02/2020 20:32

So the chilli and cheese ones are just a savoury bun then?

Cherrysherbet · 28/02/2020 20:35

I’m holding out until Good Friday! Otherwise known as hot cross bun day! I couldn’t start on them now, I’d put on a stone by Easter!

SophieJo · 28/02/2020 20:56

Am thoroughly addicted to chilli and cheese. They sell out very quickly unfortunately. Just hope they will keep them going for a long while yet.

Chocolate and salted caramel are heaven toasted with butter..... 😋

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 01:31

@Cherrysherbet Me too helped by the fact that Tesco are no longer doing my fave ones.

But dont wait till GF They WILL sell out So maybe a week before.

Chilli and cheese hot cross buns ShockShockShock? Do they have raisins in them?? I must have led a sheltered life.

EnidButton · 29/02/2020 01:41

If anyone spots any good gluten free ones please say. I couldn't see any in M&S and they usually do really good gf bakery stuff.

florababy84 · 29/02/2020 01:51

I had a salted caramel chocolate chip one for breakfast toasted with butter and it was squidgy and delicious.

daisychain01 · 29/02/2020 05:11

The luxury M&S HxB are the only ones we've tried and they're great, sorry can't help you on all the other varieties but I did think the same as you, OP it was an overwhelming choice.

Was attracted by the 2 for £2.50 offer!
