Strange hot cross bun & Easter egg flavours

MSE_Laura_F

Starting to see a few intriguing flavours pop up in shops in the lead-up to Easter.

MSE James spotted this Co-op 'Hot Cross Bun Egg':



I bought a Cadbury's Dairy Milk Hot Cross Bun bar from Poundland a few weeks ago (it was very tasty).

(Keep in mind that luxury eggs and luxury hot cross buns don't tend to be MoneySaving - though if you do spot any deals we'd love to hear about them.)

Seen any of your own?

There's a hefty range of M&S hot cross bun flavours, including Marmite Cheese, and Salted Caramel. Off-putting, or good idea?

Again, these luxury versions aren't MoneySaving (but always worth looking out for in the yellow-sticker shelf when Easter's over).

Laura H snapped these in store:

Excellent idea, love the marmite ones and the chocolate ones, I hate dried fruit so it works for me but they have been available all year long which doesn't really make them hot cross buns - bit gimmicky but a keeper for me

Any HCB is fine in my book. I do not discriminate

Mnoee

Tesco finest have been doing salted caramel, apple and a few other weirder flavours for a few years.

I'd imagine those curry ones would be quite nice, especially with the sultanas. I used to make curry bread by subbing the oil in a basic bread recipe for balti paste.

M&S do some cheese ones. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

So what is the MoneySaving version of Hot Cross Bun flavoured chocolate egg @MSE_Laura_F??

MSE has gone increasingly off track thinking price rather than value is king... if there is only on option then its simultaneously the most money saving and extravagant option out there.

We made our own last year.  They were better than any you can buy.  A bit time consuming but since we retired we have time for such things
