SHOPPERS are raving about a new flavour of hot cross bun at one of the UK’s most popular stores.
M&S has just brought in lemon-curd-filled versions of the popular Easter treat – and fans are already hooked.
The retailer has brought these buns new in for the approaching season.
The website describes them as “Fluffy, lemony M&S hot cross buns with an oozy, zingy lemon curd filling.”
The delicious-sounding description adds: “Prepared to our exclusive recipe for an egg-stra special seasonal treat.”
The website’s images show the tasty treats, displaying the traditional hot cross bun with a rich, yellow lemony filling.
Foodies on social media have already been left with a hungry stomach as they share their excitement for the new flavour.
One Facebook account posted a closer look at the lemon-curd snacks on Wednesday, with a caption that reads: “Closer look at the Lemon Filled Hot Cross Buns from M&S, which we popped in an air fryer for 5 minutes and this made the lemon curd filling become more runny.”
One comment said: “We are off to find these tomorrow!
Another shopper wrote: “These look amazing.”
And a third added: “I put clotted cream on top and drizzled more lemon curd over mine!!! Incredible!”
Those who are desperate to get their hands on this new flavoursome four-pack of hot cross buns are advised to act fast.

Colin is decorated with white chocolate cupid wings, a red chocolate drizzle and red heart sugar sprinkles.
While girlfriend Connie dons pink cupid wings to match her trademark pink bow, with a white chocolate drizzle and pink heart sugar sprinkles.
The cakes are retailing at £7.50 each as the romantic day nears.
