Bourbons are great. Not only are they delicious (Smooth chocolate buttercream sandwiched between two crunchy chocolate biscuits) but their shape means that they make a great dunker; There really is nothing worse than the moment of horror upon realising your chosen dunker is too wide to fit in your cup of tea #britishproblems. Invented in 1910 by the biscuit company Peak Freans, Bourbons have remained a popular choice in the UK especially alongside their sister biscuit, the Custard Cream.
