M&S is bringing back its popular Chilli and Cheese Hot Cross Buns for summer. Launched at Easter, the buns went down a treat with shoppers, and the creative foodies at M&S have decided the tasty baked goods are too good for just one weekend a year.
The brand has brought them back for BBQ season, and is encouraging shoppers to use them as burger buns! It's certainly outside the box but the pictures look delicious.
Made with West Country Farmhouse Cheddar, caramelised and dried fried onions, dried red and green jalapeno and chipotle chillies, with Worcester and hot pepper sauces; the buns have a real kick. The supermarket suggests you turn that up a notch again, and pair them with their new Hot Chilli Burgers.
Kirsty Rowley, M&S Product Developer, said in a press release: "This fiery burger and hot cross bun combo is something dreams are made of! The super soft Chilli Cheese Hot Cross Buns are perfect for sandwiching our new succulent Hot Chilli Burgers. For my ultimate burger, I layer with crisp romaine lettuce, a few slices of tomato, a generous helping of Cornish Cruncher Cheddar and a dollop of mayo. Absolutely delicious!"
We can't wait to try the combo, but may well eat the buns slathered in butter before the burgers have time to get off the grill! Getting several packets seems wise.
M&S Chilli & Cheese Hot Cross Buns, available in store, £1.50 for 4
