The buns arrived yesterday, and were promptly relegated to the fridge by Daddy. I'm not sure why, and it meant that I didn't know they had arrived. I don't recommend refrigerating your HCBs, I don't think it's necessary for freshness - after all, how long are your buns really going to last!?
By the time I found them, there was only one chocolate hot cross bun left! In fact, it seems like Bub and Daddy went a little crazy with them last night for dessert.
I know some people are critical that chocolate hot cross buns are a "corruption" of traditional fare, but I think that's overkill. My moto is that if it tastes good, we should enjoy it! That's not to say that I don't also like traditional buns with their cinnamon-y goodness, with a smattering of butter for extra decadence.
I love nothing more than a microwaved choc chip hot cross bun with its choc bits all melted and gooey accompanied by a cup of coffee on a weekend morning. Otherwise, we tend to eat them for afternoon tea, or even for dessert.
Yum yum
Look - they're bigger than my hands!

I'm a regular at our local Bakers Delight - I buy their Chia sliced loaf twice a week for my hubby's lunches, and on weekends I buy other goodies such as raisin bread, turkish bread, and so on. With all this I get two or three freebies a month, so I'm well looked after! I don't mind the chocolate HX buns, but they are a bit rich to have more than one or two, so we prefer the traditional fruit and cinnamon buns.
ReplyDeleteThis is the sweetest giveaway!
