Get Ready To Slobber Because Jalapeño And Cheese Hot Cross Buns Are Now A Thing

Hot cross buns — they used to be a comforting Aussie staple that called to mind toasty notes of cinnamon or rich, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate...but not anymore.

So naturally, one of BuzzFeed Oz's more culinarily-adventurous palettes volunteered to give these hot crossys a go.

Hameda's verdict? "It kind of just tastes like bread with a hint of pickled jalapeño juice and, like, a tiny amount of cheese."
