If there is one thing about Easter that we all love, it is the opportunity to tuck into some of our favourite sweets and treats without feeling a shred of guilt.
Of course, many of us usually associate this time of year with chocolate eggs, but there is one other treat that we think deserves equal attention - the hot cross bun.
Luckily, so does Marks and Spencer, as the UK retailer has sent shoppers on social media into a frenzy with the launch of the brand new Banoffee Hot Cross Buns that offer a unique twist on the traditional delicacy. However, some weren't happy to see other flavours missing on the shelves.
The Banoffee Hot Cross Buns are currently priced at just £2 on Ocado, while M&S has said that they are included in its offer where you can purchase two packs of any hot cross buns for just £3.
Sharing its delightful new Easter treat to Facebook, M&S wrote: "Hot cross buns x banoffee pie = the crossover you never knew you needed.
"Our ALL-NEW banoffee hot cross buns are filled with salted caramel fudge pieces and banana purée – perfect on their own or toasted with butter.
"Plus, you can now get two packs of any of our hot cross buns for just £3."
Hundreds of shoppers were quickly sent salivating over the eccentric new flavour, with one shopper saying: "These are absolutely delicious."
A second raved: "They are delicious! Both toasted and un toasted ! X."
While a third added: "Had them with my Ocado shop yesterday.. they are amazing."
A fourth exclaimed: "The banoffee hot cross buns are so delicious , I have ordered more more, more."
However, as excited as most fans were, there were quite a few others who were left miffed that their favourite flavour had not made the lineup this year - namely the controversial Marmite flavour.
One shopper fumed: "Cannot find the Marmote/Cheese version in either of my local M&S … sad times."
While asked: "Where are the marmite ones ??."
A third wrote: "Wish you were doing the marmite ones!"
