Easter 2023: Flavoured Hot Cross Buns Editor Review
I Tried the Supermarket's Weirdest Hot Cross Bun Flavours so You Don’t Have to

M&S Banoffee Hot Cross Buns (£2 for four)
Now, these bad boys have been doing the rounds on TikTok, so it would only be right for me to try them for myself and see if they lived up to the online hype. In true banoffee pie fashion, M&S's Banoffee Hot Cross Buns are filled with indulgent salted caramel fudge and banana purée, before being finished with a bun glaze.
What I liked: The texture is fluffy and light, and has good chewiness thanks to the lashings of caramel sauce. The banana flavour itself is quite subtle, too. A real sticky treat.
What I didn't like: If I'm being honest, this flavour gave me flashbacks from lockdown where I was guilty of baking a little too much banana bread. But that's not to say that these hot cross buns weren't tasty.
