The only ones I'll try are customers rushing to get their hands on M&S's new hot cross buns

SHOPPERS cannot contain their excitement about M&S's new hot cross bun flavour.

Sweet treat lovers have flocked to social media to share their joy over the release of the new product.

The new Extremely Caramely hot cross buns with pieces of salted caramel fudge are perfect for those with a sweet tooth.

They'll hit the shelves just in time for Easter on February 28, but a lucky few have already tried them as they went on sale at Corby Foodhall today for just £3.50 for two packs.

The announcement of the new flavor has been widely praised by Facebook users.

One wrote: “We have to try these,” while another agreed, saying: “Omg how good they look, I have to try!”

A third even went so far as to write: “The only hot cross buns I eat.”

And a fourth thought: “to try with a cup of tea.”

The caramel buns are just the latest new flavor of hot cross bun that M&S ​​has launched.

They also have Extremely Cheesy Hot Cross Buns and Extremely Chocolatey Hot Cross Buns.

The Extremely Cheesy sandwiches flew off the shelves, with some people calling them “the best thing I've ever tasted.”

The butter enriched sandwiches are made with cheddar and red Leicester cheeses and come in a pack of four for £2.

Gi took over TikTok to share a slideshow of photos of the M&S food she would “sell her soul for”.

“These hot cross buns are the best I have ever tasted,” she wrote.

“They live rent-free in my head all year round!”

It comes as Tesco has also released a new hot cross bun flavour.

Shoppers are raving about the store's new take on a classic British treat.

They say the product “changed the hot cross bun game” and call it “great flipping.”
