10 Ways with Hot Cross Buns
During Easter you can always find me with food in my hand and mouth, in particular chocolate. I’m daydreaming about the dark chocolate bunnies right now. Easter is a holiday where I beg my thighs to forgive me. I admit Easter is my Achilles heel. Yeah I know, a tad dramatic, but that’s just the way I am!
Making hot crossed buns is great, but what do you do when your boyfriend says he wants them and then doesn’t eat them? Not to name names. Check out what I do with my left over hot crossed buns to save them from the trash and then give me a few more ideas!
