In the clip, she made ‘caramilk butter’ by melting a square of caramilk on a hot cross bun cut in half before spreading it evenly. Their alternative contains 71 fewer calories than the new Caramilk Hot Cross Buns sold at Woolworths
To make the decadent snack, Bec used traditional Coles mini hot cross buns and two squares of caramilk.
‘This mince gives you fresh hot buns with delicious melted “caramel butter” for a lot fewer calories! You can microwave or air fry them, but I like them a little crispy, ”she wrote online.
“I know we have Easter a long time ahead of us, but I’ll never complain that the hot crossbreads are too early.”
“I don’t know why I’ve never tried Caramilk butter, but oh my god it’s so good,” she said.
On TikTok, many called the treat idea “dangerous,” while others admit they ate an entire four-pack of Woolworths’ Caramilk Hot Cross Buns in one sitting.
‘Great idea! I went to Woolies and they didn’t have the caramilk, ”wrote another person.
The short video has since gone viral on Instagram and has been viewed more than 60,000 times.
