Sat in work and just opened a pack of Waitrose mini chocolate & orange ones and ZOMG(!) I am going to eat the whole pack by lunch at this rate!

I doubt they will replace the good old traditional long term but at the moment they are too addictive (and I will probably eat too many and not be able to face them again).

I particularly enjoy the M&S luxery ones. Lightly toasted and smothered with cold butter.......does life get much better?

Any will do me...as long as they're toasted to the point of nearly burning and smothered with enough salty butter to the point that it's dripping off my fingers as well. ๐Ÿ˜€

As for season...I've been eating them since they first appeared in Sainsbury's down the road...I think it was 2nd January. ๐Ÿ˜†

Had some nice Tesco Finest ones with a yellow label on last week, the pretty till girl asked what hot cross buns are like and whether they were nice!?

I said I couldn't believe a British person could get to adulthood and not have eaten one, she replied "I'm only 20, not an adult". Ha!

Aldi luxury ones are great value for money, as are the Tesco Finest when on bogof.

With butter and some nice strong cheese.

Aldi standard range bitterly disappointing.

Not a hint of spice, texture all wrong.
Basically, it's yer standard bun, wiv a cross on it.

Avoid.

I've developed a taste for Tesco salted caramel flavour buns, they're soo moorish. Toasted, salty butter and a good mug of tea, nom.

I like the Sainsbury's ones with cranberries and golden raisins. And an unseemly amount of butter, naturally.
