Its all about Hot Cross Buns this Easter
Marks and Spencer’s have went crazy with their Hot Cross Buns range this Easter. When we called into our local Marks and Spencer’s store this week we were amazed to see such a great range of Hot Cross Buns. We’re already massive fans of anything baked with fruit in it so we didn’t need an excuse to want to try them all!
Hot Cross Buns use to be a more prominent Easter sight in British supermarkets but in recent years chocolates and other Easter treats seem to have pushed these gorgeous buns off our radar. We’re excited to see Marks and Spencer’s releasing such a great and different range of Hot Cross Buns to suit all tastes.

So we’ll start with the traditional hot cross bun….Marks and Spencer’s have went one further and ensured the most indulgent hot cross bun by releasing their Luxury Hot Cross Bun in both regular and mini sizes. These mini buns are so cute, but not so cute you won’t want to eat them all. Packed full of juicy fruit, mixed peel and a perfect balance of spices these buns are sure to please a hot cross bun connoisseur.
