If that's not adventurous enough, there's the Chilli Cheese "hot cross heaven" buns to spice up Easter celebrations.

"Made with tangy West Country cheddar and a dash of hot sauce, these savoury buns are delicious served with a dollop of chilli jam for an extra kick," said an M&S spokesman.

Finally, for lovers of chocolate, there are the award-winning 'Extremely Chocolatey Hot Cross Buns' .

These are described as "rich, dark chocolatey buns studded with white and milk chocolate chunks."

The spokesman said: "They're total heaven – and a brilliant bun for anyone who isn’t a fan of the traditional fruity versions."

As well as traditional fruit hot cross buns, M&S are also selling vegan Easter buns and eggs under their Plant Kitchen range.
