Parle Hide And Seek Black Bourbon Review: Savour Its Richness

When it comes to biscuits, we all have individual choices and favorites. Some prefer digestive biscuits, whereas some others prefer cream-filled biscuits. A popular variety of cream biscuits are the Bourbon biscuits. Bourbon biscuits have a layer of cream placed between two biscuit pieces. Over the years, brands have come up with different variations of bourbon biscuits. 

One such variation that we decided to review was the Parle Hide and Seek Black Bourbon. What caught our attention was the unique black color of the biscuit filled with vanilla cream.
