With Easter just around the corner, may of us will be looking forward to indulging in chocolate eggs and hot cross buns.

This year, Marks & Spencer has added salted caramel hot cross buns to its seasonal range and they taste divine.

Sticky and sweet, the alternative take on the classic currant bun is packed with chocolate chips, salted caramel fudge and toffee pieces.

If this doesn't sound tempting enough, we created a salted caramel hot cross bun French toast recipe for you to enjoy for breakfast this Easter.

Served with chocolate sauce, broken Easter egg and coconut yogurt, you will certainly want to give this a try over the long bank holiday weekend.
