Biscoff Spread?!?!

So for dinner tonight I just made pigs in a blanket and tater tots. . . easy and delicious!!  Now onto more important things!!!

Today an awesome friend give me a jar of Biscoff Spread.  What is that you ask??  Well, it's completely delish is what it is.  For Reals!!  It is similar to nutella or peanut butter but no chocolate or peanuts. . .so yeah I guess you're right, not the same at all.  HA!  It is basically a cookie all creamed up into a spreadable form.  It tastes sweet without being overly sweet and would be WONDERFUL on apples, pretzels, toast, and more!!

Here is some info about it directly from Biscoff's Website:

Europe’s Alternative to Peanut Butter
Biscoff Spread is a sweet, creamy spread made with Biscoff Cookies (57%). It is a delicious European alternative to peanut butter or chocolate spread. It is excellent on toast, in a sandwich with jam or even on apples.
 
Facts about it:
 **Biscoff Spread is made with Original Lotus Biscoff Cookies.
**The main ingredient is Biscoff – made with over 57% Biscoff cookies.
**It has a creamy and smooth structure with consistency of peanut butter.
**Contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
**It is free of nuts!

Biscoff Spread's Inspiration
Biscoff Spread’s story begins in Belgium in early 2007 with the simple but brilliant idea of Els Scheppers, a culinary enthusiast. Her idea? Create a creamy spread with the unique taste of Lotus Speculoos cookies. With recipe in hand, Els entered the Belgian prime time TV show “De Bedenkers” (The Inventors), competing against 2,000 other entrants. On November 25th a jury of food experts and TV personalities chose Els’s Speculoos spread recipe as one of the finalists of the competition. Lotus Bakeries and Els Scheppers worked together to perfect the recipe and so gave birth to this new culinary delight!

Now you really need to go out and buy yourself a jar and try it!!  It has been found at Meijer and Walmart just as you see it in the photo above and also at Trader Joe's under the name cookie butter.  This is seriously awesome!!  If there is something you want me to test out and then blog about, please contact me at turninggroceriesgourmet@outlook.com and I'll see what I can do!!
