Chocolate Hot Cross Bread & Butter Pudding

Bread & Butter pudding is traditionally a dessert using up left over bread, but left-over Hot Cross Buns? Obviously not. You’ll need to buy them especially and hide them well to make sure no one eats them up before you bake this recipe! Best prepared the day before so the buns soak up all the chocolatey goodness, then cooked fresh for devouring with a good scoop of vanilla ice cream.
