Waitrose Chocolate & Orange Hot Cross Buns (£1.85 for pack of four)
Let it be known that I'm not usually a fan of chocolate orange. To me, those are two very different flavours that should be enjoyed well, well, away from each other. But I thought it would only be fair to give the Waitrose buns, which are each made with dark chocolate and orange zest, a try for the sake of those who (weirdly enough) enjoy citrus with their confectionery.
What I liked: I was nearly screaming, crying, and throwing up at the fact that I actually liked this flavour. Once warmed up, the rich dark chocolate chips melted in my mouth and complemented the Cointreau-style flavour perfectly. It was giving grown-up jaffa cakes.
What I didn't like: I don't have a bad word to say about these hot cross buns. They were delicious, and had a nice puffy bun shape. A great all-rounder and real surprise for someone who usually steers clear of the chocolate-orange combo.
