Mother-of-seven, 43, is baffled after opening a 20p packet of Aldi bourbon biscuits to find none of them were filled with chocolate cream

  • Amanda Fisher, from County Kerry, Ireland, bought the biscuits for her children
  • She said she hoped to enjoy them with a cup of tea or as a snack for her family
  • Ms Fisher said Aldi were willing to send new packet of biscuits free of charge 

A mother who bought a packet of bourbon biscuits for her children was baffled to find none of them were filled with chocolate cream.

Stunned Amanda Fisher, 43, said she was shocked when she opened up the packet of biscuits she bought at Aldi.

But instead of your usual bourbon – a sandwich-style biscuit made up of two chocolate biscuits with a chocolate filling – she found every single one had no buttercream.

Ms Fisher, from Castleisland, in County Kerry, Ireland, bought the biscuits from Aldi on Tuesday for 24 cents – around 20p.

She said she hoped to enjoy them with a cup of tea or as a snack for her family.

Mother-of-seven Ms Fisher said: ‘All of them had no cream inside. At first my daughter thought my son had licked all of the cream out of them.

‘I have never seen that before and thought it was funny.

‘I was surprised when I opened the packet and saw the first one. I decided to get the rest out and they were all the same.

‘I told Aldi about it and they offered to send me a new packet but I wasn’t that bothered because they didn’t cost much.’

Ms Fisher said Aldi were willing to send a new packet of the 200g biscuits free of charge.

She posted photos of the buttercream-less biscuits on Facebook to show her friends.

She said people made funny comments such as ‘it’s like being robbed in your own home’ and it’s ‘daylight robbery’.
