CHOICE testing reveals which hot cross buns are best
Coles has topped the list in an expert taste test of 21 different hot cross buns - covering traditional, chocolate, apple and cinnamon, and gluten free varieties. CHOICE tested buns from Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA, plus Bakers Delight and Costco.
“Coles was clearly the winner in our testing this year, with their hot cross buns coming first in both the chocolate and traditional fruit categories,” says CHOICE food editor, Rachel Clemons.
“Our experts blind taste tested all 21 hot cross buns, and scored them on flavour, appearance, aroma and texture. We set up our experts in the CHOICE kitchen lab and provided them with the hot cross bun samples in a randomised order, which is different for each expert. Our experts have over 80 years experience in the food industry between them, so they’re the perfect people to test out these Easter treats,” says Clemons.
