• Looks like a hockey puck with thin wonky cross.
• Minimal fruit in untoasted bun but lots of fruit in toasted bun, so uneven among buns in pack.
• Aroma is slightly yeasty with not much spice. Texture is spongy, dry and gritty. Flavour is bland.
• Sandy, strong texture, fruits very clumpy. Cross not great visually. Good for a gluten free alternative. Toasted flavour would be great with butter.
• Chocolate pieces evident but unevenly distributed so affects taste and texture, little choc flavour evident.
• It's better toasted. The toasted bun had better chocolate piece distribution which affects balance of texture and flavour.
• Pale round hockey puck. Very uneven chocolate distribution.
• Slight chocolate flavour when toasted - more choc chips needed.
• Strong smell of nut butter or flax. Texture is nice not too grainy. I don't get much chocolate flavour, choc chips inside but not much flavour or texture from this.
• Aroma not appealing but better when toasted. Texture has some structure but very flat, better when toasted. Basic not much flavour.
• Dark appearance.
• Looks like it'll be super sweet and decadent but isn't. Barely any chocolate chips.
• Deep cocoa scent. Soft uniform texture but no choc chips. Toasting gives slight chew. Flavour is suprisingly bland and slightly bitter.
• Cacao bun, not really chocolatey, choc chips have all melted into the bun, good aroma of chocolate but flavour really lacking.
• Visually looks great. Expectation is big chocolate flavour but you don't get it. Lacking chocolate chips.
• It's much better toasted with pleasant aroma and flavour with good fruit variety and good flavour and texture balance.
• Lots of cranberries, crumbly inside, broken fruit from overmixing, weird smell.
• Unpleasant flavour but pleasant when toasted with mild spice flavour, nice cranberries and sweet peel, very slight artificial aftertaste.
• Over proofed, mouldy smell. Look is great, but that's as far as it goes. Toasted is similar, yeasty smell and flavour is toned down.
• White flecks inside, looks like it's not mixed properly but flecks gone in toasted bun.
• No chocolate aroma but slightly improves on toasting.
• Hard, spongy, dry, gritty texture but much improved on toasting.
• Flavour is bland, slight chocolate. Still bland when toasted but a little more chocolatey.
• Round, hockey puck. White specks throughout and on top. Not much chocolate flavour. Cross is sunken into the bun. Better toasted. Needs more chocolate.
• Looks like a plump nice bun, and texture looks great but powdery unpleasant mouthfeel. Hard to differentiate taste and texture because texture makes it unpleasant to eat.
• Smells like flaxseed but not unpleasant.
• Looks nice and fluffy but it's powdery - not a pleasant eating texture. Bland taste, better mouthfeel when toasted. Lingering flaxseed aftertaste.
• Visually good looking but fake smell.
• What it's lacking in spice it makes up for in fruit. Slightly artificial spice aftertaste.
• Apricot is a great touch, needs glaze, when fresh it has a raw spice flavour but when toasted it has great texture and flavour.
• Perfect for toasting and buttering. Love the array of fruits.
• Disappointing taste - really artificial.
• Looks lovely, particularly the big fruit but it has an odd artificial aroma and a weird, unpleasant artificial flavour that lingers. Aroma is slightly less strong when toasted.
• Great appearance, perfect cross but stale, very fake flavour, spice seems not present, aftertaste is terrible.
• Looks like a hockey puck, round, brown, lots of fruit. Looks very dark when toasted. Minimal aroma. Gritty texture but fluffy and still a bit gritty when toasted.
• Not unpleasant flavour when toasted, slathered in butter would be nice.
• Good appearance and great texture for a gluten free bun.
• It's better toasted - chocolate is sweet and artificial but better flavour balance although could be more evenly distributed.
• Not enough chocolate or cinnamon to make it interesting.
• Not here nor there, need to amp up the chocolate flavour.
• It's better toasted with more fruit and more evenly distributed so there's better flavour balance. Fluffy structure which collapses on eating.
• Very plump, large fluffy bun.
• Can't smell spice, even less smell when toasted.
• Very fluffy texture. When toasted still fluffy and bit dry.
• Lacking in fruit and spice flavour.
• Cross is wonky. More like a bread with mixed fruits. Plump fruits, no spice or flavour.
• When toasted there's lots of melted chocolate that's evenly distributed so there's good texture, but not much chocolate flavour even though there's good chocolate aroma.
• Not enough chocolate chips but toasting intensifies the chocolate flavour.
• Fudgy but not as chocolatey. Texture is better when toasted.
• Fruit not evenly distributed so uneven balance of flavour, texture on eating is a bit dry.
• Sparse fruit but juicy fruit.
• Pleasant appearance, yeasty aroma, dry but fluffy texture with good chew. Slightly artificial aftertaste but nice fruit.
• Good texture once toasted, fluffy and chewy. Flavour - pleasant, what lacks in spice makes up for in fruit.
• Cross is streaky (flour and water may not have mixed properly).
• Dough looks undercooked or not mixed correctly. Little spice aroma and flavour, dry texture when is evident even when toasted.
• Fruit is not evenly distributed so flavour is not balanced.
• Super dense and dry.
• Appearance is dull and undercooked, no spice smell, texture is dense and doughy and lacks flavour. Only flavour is sweetness from fruit.
• Untoasted texture is underbaked and raw. Toasted texture is better.
• Toasted bun did not present as well as untoasted bun.
• Milk chocolatey colour, full of chocolatey goodness.
• Even appearance, milk chocolate brown, nice glaze. Chocolatey smell. Texture is so doughy it's almost fudgy.
• Better fresh, a little dry when toasted.
• Nice milk chocolatey flavour, no spice. Toasty flavour over powers chocolate a bit. This one is better fresh.
• Choc chips are visual on outside, fudgy and doughy. Needs more glaze. Love it toasted, no need for butter (maybe add nutella!), what you see is what you get, colour is nice - one of the better chocolate buns I have had.
• Looks great, good amount of chocolate chips. Toasted - visually is perfect, chocolate smell is good, fluffy and dense from chocolate chips, flavour hit the mark.
• Flaxseed aroma and not much aroma when toasted. Texture looks great but turns to powder in mouth which is slightly improved on toasting. Powdery mouthfeel and flaxy aftertaste. Chocolate chips too small to be of note. Unpleasant. Flavour is slightly improved on toasting but needs more chocolate.
• Nice looking for gluten free, shape is great. Flaxseed aroma and flavour is very strong. Where is the chocolate flavour?
• Good fruit distribution although some sultanas very dark which detracts from appearance and can add an unpleasant bitterness and aftertaste when toasted.
• Big variation across samples. Some brown regular sultanas, some odd dark seedy ones.
• Mild spice and yeast aroma.
• Texture looks fluffy but is very dense and doughy. Texture is much better when toasted.
• Yeasty flavour with only mild spice.
• Nostalgic aroma of hot cross bun, not too much fruits, not much glaze, texture is soft. It's better toasted.
• Toasts well with pleasant texture and flavour (as artificial taste of untoasted is less evident). A nicely balanced flavour, good texture and appearance - a nice product when toasted.
• Love the addition of peel.
• When toasted texture is better, it's soft inside with nice fruit and peel flavour.
• Better toasted - artificial flavour is gone when toasted.
• Little spice aroma or taste.
• Texture becomes quite doughy on eating.
• Glaze disappears when toasted, no real spice flavour, cross is crunchy, dry and needs butter.
