To eat the chocolatey hot cross buns?

I took them out of the freezer (been in there a month) Saturday night so that we could have them for a naughty easter breakfast. It didn't happen in the end and they're still laying there, taunting me, begging me to give in to my desires and scoff them.

Are they okay or will I wake up feeling like I've had my middle run over by a lorry?

I'm shocked they are still uneaten!

Othernamesweretaken · 05/04/2021 22:29

Go for it! It's the last bit of the Easter Holidays and it's your duty! They'll be absolutely fine- nothing risky in them. Enjoy

Unreasonabubble · 05/04/2021 22:30

You can't refreeze them so not point in wasting them!

cloudcett · 05/04/2021 22:31

I'd have eaten them already! You can always be healthy tomorrow Grin

You're all right, I'm being ridiculous. Even if I do wake up with a stomach ache, it will have been worth it for chocolatey hot cross buns.

why do they keep messing around with Hot Cross bun flavours - I try them occasionally, but haven;t come across anything to rival a richly fruited hot cross bun.
Worst contenders so far: Apple/Salted Caramel/Chocolate orange are in the running, but nothing to contend with the abomination that was chilli and cheese.

Hope you enjoyed them OP

They are vile! We bought some a few years ago. YABU to eat something so bleurgh. Normal Hot cross buns are 100% nicer!

I'd rather eat an eye than a raisin.

Out of interest which brand of Chocolatey HXB’s were they? The M&S triple chocolate were absolutely to die for

The marmite and cheese ones from M&S were heavenly! I also ate the chocolate M&S ones - also amazing.

YABVU chocolate hot cross buns are horrible (despite what my children think). Original hot cross buns are the only good ones. But only if they don’t have horrible candied peel in them. I am fussy about hot cross buns. Easter Grin

I was disappointed to find they don't contain any dried fruit.

WhiteVixen · 06/04/2021 08:58

I had some amazing brioche chocolate chip HXBs from the Co op last week, they were delicious.

skirk64 · 06/04/2021 09:00

Am I reading this right, they now make Hot Cross Buns without raisins or currants or sultanas or whatever the fuck has been put in them since the dawn of time?

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAN-TASTIC!

BarbaraofSeville · 06/04/2021 09:03

Why wouldn't they be OK? What do you think will go wrong with them that will make your 'middle feel that it's been run over by a lorry'?

Bread will almost never cause food poisoning, not until it's covered in mould and you wouldn't eat it like that anyway.

They might go a bit stale and/or mouldy after a few days, but they won't harm you.

PenfoldPenny · 07/04/2021 00:31

Op.......... Not liking raisins isnt a reason to eat Chocolate hot cross buns! Awful things.

Hot cross buns shouldnt be sullied by weird ingredients. Its the law!

mummabear74 · 07/04/2021 01:06

Hope they were good OP. I can highly recommend the M&S chilli & cheese hot cross buns. Absolutely delicious.

I went back to the co-op after opening a pack of these because they were SO good and I wanted to stock up the freezer (🐷 🤣) and they were sold out 😢 Roll on next Easter 😅🤣
