Chocolate Hot Cross Buns Review - Devil of a Cookbook - P103
« on: April 01, 2013, 06:27:55 am »
Hi all,

Made these for Easter and I can highly recommend them.  They were so easy to make although I found the mixture needed a little longer than stated to incorporate all of the ingredients before kneading.  We chose to make 16 small buns but they were still reasonable enough in size once they had been cooked.

What I liked most about this recipe is that they actually tasted like Hot Cross Buns due to all of the spices whereas the store bought ones usually taste only of chocolate.  

I would definitely make these again and I loved that there were no obscure ingredients...5/5!

I have added a picture below.  You can't really see the piped crosses very well but they were easier to see with the naked eye.
