Chocolate Hot Cross Buns

I whipped these up and they were surprisingly easy. I made a few adjustments to a normal hot cross bun recipe so I could have a chocolate version and was quite pleased with how they turned out.

I keep forgetting how long you have to wait for dough to prove but was grateful for the fact as it meant I could do washing and cleaning while the dough and then the buns were proving.

Here are the final results...

Oh yeah, one comment I got was 'Would you like some bun with your butter' and well what can I say... I love butter :) Next time I make these I will make them smaller. I was full after having 1 of these. The kids however didn't dissapoint and managed to polish them all off that afternoon.

The people who make me - me

My photo
My 4 guinea pigs... Daniel My husband. He is not the best critic because he will eat everything I serve him on a plate and say it tastes 'nice'. Nate My 17 year old son who will eat anything put in front of him. Juni My 8 year old son who is fast becoming like his big brother in regards to the amount he eats. Nika My 6 year old princess. She eats more like a little sparrow and rarely over indulges in food. She is my favourite critic as she will tell me what tastes good and what tastes great. My family Pop My dad. Although he has minimal involvement in my life, I believe he has played a major roll in the person I have become. Mum My ear, shoulder and confidant. A woman worth her weight in gold. She is always there to have a good chin wag with and has inspired a few of my creations. Then there's me - Kiri. I have always enjoyed baking. I learnt early on that the quickest way to my heart was through food which is probably why I LOVE to cook for people.
