Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns

Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns

Hot cross bun season is well and truly upon us and new flavours have been hitting the shelves. From the savoury of the cheesy bun to the sweet blueberry or apple and cinnamon, it’s certainly a who’s who’s of flavour combos. The one I immediately needed to try was the Tesco Rhubarb and Custard Hot Cross Buns. These are made with sweetened dough with added rhubarb puree, freeze dried rhubarb, dried cream and vanilla flavouring. Each for pack is £1.80 each and are currently included in the 2 for £3 deal. They sound promising and look fabulous, but what do…

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg

Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg

The viral Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cream Egg has hit shelves and is taking on the Creme Egg head on. Yes Easter has been taking over the supermarket aisles since Christmas but I think we can safely say we are now all here for it. Each egg retails for 70p each and some stores are offering 2 for £1.20. These have been spotted in Co-Op, B&M, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons. They smell exactly like the OG and are not particularly sealed well so are easy to split in half to reveal the fluorescent orange filling. The chocolate it think and creamy…

This is the chocolate Easter treat you didn’t know you needed until now. Fusing two of my favourites, chocolate and popcorn, Mars Inc have given us the Maltesers Popcorn Bunny.

Alternatively you can also purchase these in mini bunny form. Each chunky bunny is made from milk chocolate and filled with a popcorn flavoured malt filling (35%) and corn crumble pieces (2.2%). I confess when I purchased these I wasn’t holding my breath but…

Cadbury Orange Mini Eggs

Cadbury Orange Mini Eggs

The chocolate orange trend doesn’t look to be going anywhere anytime soon. Given Easter is almost around the corner, I think it is about time we unleash the Cadbury Orange Mini Eggs! As ever Christmas was barely over and the Easter goods had hit supermarket shelves. The release of these Orange Mini Eggs was quiet and I must confess I first got a bag in January… These only come in 80g bags and you can pick them up in Tesco. Interesting not as vibrantly orange as I imagined, although if they do get a little wet they turn luminous orange.…

Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns

Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns

Flavoured hot cross buns, is it a love it or hate it type of relationship. I certainly fall into the camp that loves the traditional but will absolutely relish in some new flavour combination, even if it is verging on cake. Red Velvet is one of my favourite cakes so naturally these Tesco Finest Red Velvet Hot Cross Buns were an absolute must. Each pack comes with 4 hot cross buns that are made from sweetened dough encriched with cocoa powder, buttermilk and soft cream cheese and white and dark chocolate chips. Look at that gorgeous colour! With the sweeter…
