Easter is one of my favourite times of the year. Family, celebrations, sweet treats, what’s not to love?
But one of the most exciting and fun parts of this season is getting creative with certain ingredients we cherish for special celebrations, and there are few iconic treats as easy to spruce up as the good old fashioned hot cross bun.
This Easter I tried out some exciting treats like the Forage And Feast Limited Edition Extremely Cheesy Hot Cross Buns 4 Pack and the Forage And Feast Limited Edition 4 Triple Chocolate Hot Cross Buns and I got to relieve some of my Easter cravings while getting creative with some goodies I already had in the fridge.
Whether you’re in the mood for something sweet or savoury, try it for yourself!
