With four per pack for £1.65, shoppers have been leaving some impressive reviews for the chocolatey product on the Ocado website. One shopper said: “These are so delicious! I popped mine in the oven for a few mins and it was the perfect combination of chewy bun and oozy chocolate. Will definitely be adding these to my next shop!”
Another added: “Everything that's wonderful about a buttered bun, but made of chocolate. Chocolatey, soft, moist, melt in the mouth, more chunks of real chocolate than a normal hot cross bun would have raisins. Wonderfully delicious, full of chocolate, takes an iron will to stop at one. Oh, and did I mention the chocolate? May it be hot cross bun season all year round.”
Shoppers took to M&S Instagram and tagged their friends in the comments to inform them of the chocolatey treat. The post received over 150 comments of chocolate lovers desperate to try the new flavour.
