Here are the results from lowest scoring to highest...
Tesco Mini Toffee & Banana Hot Cross Buns - £1
These are a cute idea for the kids as they come in a miniature size. They are also raisin free so if you're someone that hates those little guys popping up in your food, you might like these.
Scoring quite averagely on value, these failed to impress our judges in taste, appearance and texture.

Co-op Irresistible Richly Fruited Hot Cross Buns - £1.25
Co-op haven't messed around with trying new flavour combos here and have instead stuck to a classic. These come in a pack of four and scored pretty averagely in appearance and value but lost points where it counts, flavour.

Sainsbury's Taste The Difference Fruity Hot Cross Buns - £1.40
These are of the pricier options in the bunch but this is no surprise considering they are from Sainsbury's own premium Taste The Difference range.
They took average scores in all categories except value, where our judges saw them as perhaps a little overpriced.

Marks & Spencer Sweet Orange Marmalade Hot Cross Buns - £1.79

Morisson's 4 Extra Fruity Hot Cross Buns - £1
This is also a great value option from Morisson's working out at a miniature 25p per bun.
