Foodies drool over M&S 31p cinnamon buns packet mix – and they say they taste identical to iconic brand’s versions
FANCY a sweet treat? Well look no further than Marks & Spencer for the perfect autumnal snack.
Their packet mix cinnamon buns are perfect for any budding chefs who don’t want to go through all the fuss of making them from scratch but still want to enjoy a warm treat.
One snack has gone viral on social media recently with food fans baking the warm buns to kick off the new cosy season.
Amongst them is foodie Bella Hill, who shared a clip of herself making the buns – and the results will have you dashing to pick up a box.
You simply need to add butter, egg and milk to the dough mix before kneading it out.
The set the dough aside in a warm spot for an hour before rolling it out.
Bella spread butter all over the tasty dough and then sprinkled over the pro made cinnamon sugar mix.
“It smells like autumn,” she raved as she coated the dough.
Then it was time to roll and cut the cinnamon buns in to eight pieces and bake them.
The only downside to the packet mix as far as Bella was concerned was the small amount of icing, which was why she decided to make her own.
“I’m making my own icing because they only give you a tiny bit of icing sugar in the box and I want icing all over these cinnamon buns,” she explained.
Fresh out of the oven, Bella then poured over her icing sugar, making sure they were totally covered in the sweet liquid.
The finished buns looked mouth wateringly good, and fellow foodies raved about the bargain packet mix in the comment section.
One wrote: “I love the M&S cinnamon bun mix! It’s so easy to make.”
“These look so good,” another wrote.
And a third chimed in: “I made them! Soooo good!”
Meanwhile, on another viral video of a food fan making the tasty buns, people compared the finished product to those from Cinnabon – but a whole lot cheaper.
“They actually look like Cinnabon omg M&S win again,” one said.
Another said: “I love Cinnabon so much how did I not know about this?”
“These are a need not a want, I hope there are some left,” someone else wrote.
You can buy the mix for just £2.50, and for eight buns per box that’s a deal too good to miss.
