To be disappointed with my hot cross bun

[PrincessofEuphrania]

I have looked so forward to trying the salted caramel and chocolate hot cross bun which I purchased from my local supermarket. I now feel a bit disappointed, not quite the taste sensation I was hoping for. I am going to have to eat another one just to be sure aren’t I?

I have been trying to get the gooey ones from M&S but they have been sold out for weeks. Also nails out of chocolate ones as well. Had to have cheese ones. I feel your pain OP!

@lexi873nooooooo!

Love a traditional hot cross bun
BUT I really enjoyed the chocolate ones from m&s and also I’ve tried the salted caramel and chocolate orange ones from both m&s and Tesco…..I really rated them! Lightly toasted with a fuck ton of Kerrygold butter. An absolute delight

Thanks OP, you’ve reminded me to go try the cheese ones I got from M&S just yesterday - how could I forget I bought them?!

If it’s the Tesco one YABU - toasted and with loads of butter it’s lovely. The cheese one however is a disappointment

I only really like the traditional fruited bun, but using one to sandwich a couple of well-grilled rashers was a revelation.

Warm it slightly in toaster and no spread needed, it’ll help a bit

Yes sold out here too. But I comforted myself by reading the comments on here saying they weren't that great anyway. I'm fancying a cheese one now!

I want to try the cheese ones with bacon but sold out round here

I had one today. Much much much better than expected. I wish I'd bought two packs instead of one and a box of crème eggs

I got the M&S cheese HCB was very disappointed. I thought they would be like traditional buns with added cheese
It deserves me right,I’m sticking to the traditional ones in the future

If it’s the Tesco one yabu. They are delicious 🤤 😂

Asking for a friend but apparently Aldi had some Mystery Flavours ( totally random) any feedback on these?

I did some extensive HCB sampling last month.
Sainsburys bakery or TTD with no butter. Toasted and slightly cooled with lemon curd.
No jazzed up flavour

I was horrified by the M&S lemon curd filled ones... there was no fruit in it except a blob of lemon curd. It was like a bloody burger bun with some lemon curd in it!

It did not live up to expectation at all, it was about the same level of crap as a plain iced bun, but pretended to be so much more. Deceitful and devious I call it.

Stuck to the standard or the extra fruity from then on, never shall I dally with fancy hot cross buns again!!

However it is quite nice if you shove some crispy bacon in a standard toasted/buttered hot cross bun. Mmm.
