It might only be February, but Easter vibes are already in full swing – and supermarkets are getting seriously creative with our favourite seasonal treats.
While chocolate Easter eggs are going wild with gooey fillings, giant shells, and even versions sprinkled with crisps, hot cross buns are having their own moment in the spotlight.
Enter M&S, which has taken the humble bun and turned it into something truly indulgent. Last year, we loved the lemon curd-filled buns, but this year they’ve gone all out: think a tiramisu bun oozing with mascarpone and a red velvet bun with a creamy white chocolate centre, alongside classics like chocolate and custard-filled varieties.
It’s no wonder these buns are blowing up on TikTok – every bite looks insanely delicious, and they’re perfect for sharing (or, let’s be honest, tucking into a few before anyone else spots them). While I haven’t tried them yet myself, a full review is coming soon, so watch this space.
Has this got your mouth watering? Read on for the full lowdown on the M&S filled hot cross buns that are set to be the Easter treat of the season.
