Hot Cross Buns in M&S yesterday £1.90 for 4.

Maybe a little more expensive than some, but looked delicious!

I’ve been doing a bit of Hot Cross Bun testing this last few weeks and I can confirm that the M&S Luxury Fruited Buns are the nicest I’ve tried so far! - when I bought mine, they had an offer of 2 packs of 4 for £3 - it was a mix & match offer on their range of different flavoured hot cross buns and they sell Gluten Free buns too, so I chose a pack of traditional buns for me to eat straightaway plus a Gluten free pack to put in the freezer for next week, when a friend who cannot tolerate Gluten is coming to visit.

I’m currently trying some Tesco “Finest” range hot cross buns, which were slightly cheaper than M&S (2 packs of 4 for £2.50) but they are not nearly as nice and definitely less fruity.

I have read that Aldi Luxury Fruited hot cross buns compare favourably to M&S buns and are only £1.25 for 4 - but I haven’t tried them myself.

Plenty in all stores now.
I will have a nibble on an M&S 'Made Without' hot cross bun!

They aren't so tasty as Asda's top of the range ones IMO. Not sure what they call them, Extra Fruity?

M&S do the best buns, especially with a thick layer of dairy butter....

I’ve added Asda to my Hot Cross Bun “tasting list” - their shop is directly opposite M&S Food Shop in my town, so I’ll give ‘em a try - all for the sake of my market research tasting experiments of Hot Cross Buns, of course!

Who's buns are best is down to personal opinion....I think my buns are the best in the world.

No Asda in my town, the nearest is 10 miles.
Is it worth the journey i wonder...?

Nah i'm happy with M&S buns thanks!

Absolutely i agree.

I love hot cross buns and pick up a pack of six regularly from Tesco, so tasty toasted and spread with butter. I have them for breakfast sometimes too.
