Extra Cream Bourbon Creams (M&S) By @Cinabar

There is only one thing that can improve a Bourbon biscuit, and that is more cream. Marks and Spencer’s are on to this and have created these new biscuits with added filling: Extra Cream Bourbon Creams. These sound perfect for my afternoon coffee, so I picked up a pack to try.

Now perhaps I’m greedy, or perhaps I’ve been influenced by programmes like Man v Food, but when I opened these, I was staring at them, trying to figure out where the extra cream was. They are bigger than a standard Bourbon, but not as much as I had hoped. I took a picture with a ruler, in case it was just me.

The flavour was good, and I admit that when I bit in, I could pick up on a little more filling. The flavour was nice and chocolatey, and the centre was creamy. There was good texture from the crunchy biscuits and the softer centre, and I think they worked well. I think if I had had one of these biscuits without knowing that there was supposed to be extra cream, I wouldn’t have noticed it at all. Having said that, these Extra Cream Bourbon Creams were still an absolutely lovely biscuit and very enjoyable with an afternoon coffee.
