# Bun-Flavored Chocolate Eggs This Chocolate Egg Treat from Prestat Tastes Like a Hot Cross Bun By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2017-03-25 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-treat References: [prestat](http://www.prestat.co.uk/shop/easter-130/hot-cross-bun-spiced-easter-egg-170g.html) Both hot cross buns and chocolate egg treats are staples of Easter eating, so Prestat created a single sweet to combine the tastes of both. The Hot Cross Bun Spiced Easter Egg boasts the taste of a "fruity and fragrant" hot cross bun, a flavor that's created with ingredients like a handmade spice-infused milk chocolate. To add to the surprise of biting into this unique [chocolate Easter egg](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/filled-chocolate-easter-eggs), Prestat includes smaller foil-wrapped egg-shaped chocolates inside of the larger, hollow egg. Unlike many [chocolate Easter products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easter-2025) that feature lots of plastic in their packaging, the Hot Cross Bun Spiced Easter Egg is wrapped in a ribbon and nestled with darkly colored tissue paper in an upscale box. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bun-flavored Treats:** Brands can innovate by creating bun-flavored treats for other seasonal and non-seasonal holidays. - **Easter Combinations:** There is an opportunity to combine traditional Easter flavors with chocolate to create unique Easter treats. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Innovators can focus on creating eco-friendly packaging for their holiday-themed products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can create and market new flavors for holiday-themed treats. - **Confectionery:** Confectionery companies can experiment with new flavor combinations for holiday-themed chocolates. - **Packaging:** The packaging industry can work on creating eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing packaging for holiday-themed products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Baked Good-Inspired Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cadbury-hot-cross-bun-bar.md) - [Australian Pastry-Themed Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-cross-bun-chocolate.md) - [Breakfast-Inspired Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-egg-easter.md) - [Private Label Easter Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outrageously-chocolatey-custard-cream-biscuity-egg.md) - [Viral Chocolate Easter Eggs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kataifi-breton-egg.md) - [Easter Popcorn Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-fried-egg-choccorn.md) - [Curd-Filled Hot Cross Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curd-filled-hot-cross-buns.md) - [Hollow Chocolate Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-croissant-easter-egg.md) - [Savory Easter Buns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-easter-buns.md)
