Mmm… a traditional Easter treat from COBS Bread

‘Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns! One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!’ So goes a nursery rhyme inspired by cries of “Hot Cross Buns!” of English street vendors when selling their wares.

Hot Cross buns have been around for centuries, dating back as far as 600 AD, and have long been a symbol of Easter. Of course, they are also fantastically delicious! The spicy aroma, dried fruit, icing and sweet glaze, served hot with lots of butter... nothing says ‘Spring’ as much as these delectable treats.

COBS Bread continues their part in the tradition by baking up more than 130,000 Hot Cross Buns over the Easter weekend alone.

Along with the traditional mixed fruit recipe, COBS now offers a delicious variation with a Chocolate Hot Cross Bun. A favourite with kids, these buns are each packed with more than 100 milk chocolate chips.

Hot Cross Buns are available now at COBS Bread—stop by to try a sample. Like all of COBS products, Hot Cross Buns are baked fresh daily from scratch, and freeze really well—so buy extra to enjoy later in the spring.
