We loved this recipe! I made it with the limited edition Choc Cross Bun chocolate and it added just the right amount of extra orange and spices. Definitely a treat but we didn't find it overly sweet or too chocolatey (as if that is a thing?). Next time I will aim for a tighter roll and will perhaps leave the house while it cools completely so I am not tempted to cut into it too soon. 5 stars from all in this house.

My Family loved it although they found it too sweet! I noticed that as I cut it, it started to come apart a little so definitely need to make sure to roll it tightly so it all stays in one piece. Super easy recipe to make and clear instructions, next time ill use a little less chocolate and it should be perfect!!
