If you want a conventional bourbon cream for your tea break, a packet you can portion out is a clearer choice than assuming a product called a bar contains one: Waitrose & Partners lists its bourbon creams in a 400g packet. A bourbon-topped chocolate bar is a different treat, and the example listed by Delimann Hampers was out of stock on its cited page. If carrying one bar matters more than bourbon flavour, the Joybuy products below are alternatives, not bourbon biscuits; check their pack format and current allergen labels before choosing.
The main choice is whether you need bourbon creams specifically or a bar you can take to a tea break.
If you do not want to carry an opened packet, check whether a listing describes one wrapped portion or several biscuits. Waitrose & Partners lists its Essential Bourbon Creams as a 400g packet, while Hill Biscuits lists Bourbon Creams in a 200g × 12 foodservice format. Neither description makes it a single bar.
The exact product matters more than the word “bourbon”. Waitrose & Partners lists wheat in its bourbon creams and says they may contain sesame. Delimann Hampers warns that its bourbon-topped chocolate bar is made in a kitchen where common allergens are present. Read the current pack label for the item you intend to eat.
Start with the type of treat, then check how it is packed and how the label describes the portion you plan to eat.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Biscuit or bar | Check whether the item is a conventional bourbon cream, a bourbon-topped chocolate bar or another biscuit-based bar. Delimann Hampers describes a chocolate bar topped with bourbon biscuits, not a standard bourbon cream. | I want the familiar bourbon-cream biscuit, rather than a chocolate bar with biscuit pieces. |
| Pack format | Look for the number of biscuits or bars and whether each portion is wrapped. Waitrose & Partners lists a 400g packet of bourbon creams; Hill Biscuits lists 200g packs in a case of 12. | One portion needs to travel with me, or I can leave a packet at home or work and take out the biscuits I want. |
| Portion information | Compare nutrition using the same declared basis, such as per biscuit or per bar. Waitrose & Partners lists 68 kcal per bourbon cream; Delimann Hampers describes its chocolate bar as approximately 120g. Those figures describe different portions. | I would rather use the label for the amount I intend to eat than treat a whole packet or a large bar as one biscuit. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current ingredients and allergen statements on the exact product. Waitrose & Partners lists wheat and a possible sesame presence for its bourbon creams; Delimann Hampers gives a broader kitchen cross-contact warning for its chocolate bar. | I need to check whether the ingredients and cross-contact information meet my requirements before I choose a treat. |
A packet of bourbon creams and a chocolate bar topped with bourbon biscuits are different products. The Delimann Hampers bar is approximately 120g and was shown as out of stock on its cited page.
Check the product description for the biscuit type, pack quantity and wrapping, as well as current availability if you want that particular bar.
Waitrose & Partners lists wheat and a possible sesame presence for its bourbon creams. A bourbon-topped chocolate bar can have a different ingredient and cross-contact statement.
Read the current physical label of the exact product before eating it; do not assume that two bourbon-themed treats have the same allergen information.
Waitrose & Partners gives nutrition per bourbon cream, whereas Delimann Hampers describes an approximately 120g chocolate bar. Their stated amounts are not equivalent portions.

Delimann Hampers describes an approximately 120g chocolate bar topped with bourbon biscuits, rather than conventional bourbon creams.

Use the label’s per-biscuit figures for the number you intend to eat. Waitrose & Partners lists 68 kcal per Essential bourbon cream; a packet’s total weight does not describe a single tea-break portion.
No. Waitrose & Partners lists wheat in its Essential bourbon creams and says they may contain sesame. Check the current physical label of the exact product rather than assuming another brand or a bourbon-topped bar has the same ingredients.
