Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns (£1.60 for pack of four)
This is the second dessert-inspired hot cross bun to hit our list, and I was already sold from the get-go. Red velvet cake is an absolute classic, so Tesco's take has some serious boots to fill with its recreation. These buns are studded with white chocolate chunks, dark chocolate chips, and medium fat soft cream cheese.
What I liked: Just like a good red velvet cake, these hot cross buns have a subtle chocolate flavour in the bun itself, while there are plenty of white chocolate chunks and dark chocolate chips for a little added sweetness. The lashings of cream cheese make for a naughtily indulgent treat. I was pretty hesitant to share these ones.
What I didn't like: Despite nailing all the elements of a red velvet cake, the recipe was still a little dry, but it's nothing that a little extra thick cream (in place of butter, obvs) can't fix.
