Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

100 MORE REASONS TO GET STUCK INTO HOT CROSS BUNS

Traditionally, keeping a hot cross bun from one Good Friday to the next was thought to bring good luck but we doubt anyone could keep a freshly baked choc chip hot cross bun for a year without taking a bite!

An indulgent twist on tradition, this Easter Bakers Delight will be baking choc chip hot cross buns fresh daily, with over 100 choc chips in every bun!

In almost 27 years of business, Bakers Delight has prepared a whopping 120 million hot cross buns - enough to supply Australia's population almost six times over.

Head Technical Baker, Travis Hamilton describes Easter buns as serious business at Bakers Delight.

"Easter is one of the busiest times of year and when it comes to the hot cross buns it's all hands on deck.

"The choc chip hot cross buns provide the perfect treat for families and children, and are ideal as is or warmed up for a melting chocolate sensation," said Travis.

For a serious chocolate fix this Easter, treat your family to a Bakers Delight choc chip hot cross bun. And if chocolate's not your thing, try Bakers Delight's delicious traditional variety, packed with juicy currants and sultanas (no peel!), or a fruitless, spicy blend.

Hot cross buns are now available in-store at Bakers Delight bakeries for $1 each or in a six-pack for $5.00. To locate your nearest bakery visit: www.bakersdelight.com.au.
