When
Bakers Delight approached me and asked whether I'd like to taste test their hot cross buns, and host a giveaway for my readers, I jumped at the chance. I already knew that I *love* their hot cross buns, especially the choc chip ones. I wouldn't exactly call myself a connoisseur, but I have tried my share of supermarket sold HCBs and can definitely recommend the Bakers Delight ones as being fresh, substantial and delicious.
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!
