Ahh the classic bourbon biscuits, perfect for dunking and also delicious on their own.. however do you know what’s even better? When you bake them into a brownie!
For your baking tin I highly recommend this aluminium one which you can adjust to any size you like- it’s super handy for traybakes and will last you a lifetime! One last note before you begin, if you’d like to make your brownies vegan use a non-dairy milk (such as soya milk) and check that your Bourbons don’t contain any dairy either- it does vary depending on the brand.
Happy baking 🙂
