I bet you can imagine it now... The jittery excitement as you wait for the grill to finish its job. Then that hot, buttery bun with a hint of spice on your tongue. Or maybe you're a chocolate fiend, buying them by the dozen and finding they never... last... long... enough. Yes it's Easter and it's time for everyone to eat hot cross buns like they're going out of fashion! But have you ever wondered if these are good for you or not? It's fair to say that a chocolate hot cross bun isn't the healthiest treat on the menu but, as a small part of a balanced diet, they won't hurt. To be on the healthier side, treat them as you would any discretionary delight and aim for moderation, one choccie bun every few days while they're available should be just fine for most people. (*Note they are higher in saturated fat than the other varieties available so if this is an issue for you medically, speak to your doctor or dietitian about appropriate consumption
