The biggest slave to Nutella I am, I never thought another spread might capture my heart. Speculoos comes pretty close. The same color and consistency of peanut butter, yet it’s sugar-y sweet and somewhat spiced and crunchy too.
In other words, it’s like crushed up Speculaas—those thin, crunchy Danish cookies—that have been blended with extra sugar and additives and preservatives so you can smear it on bread and croissants and make weird sandwich combinations out of (Speculoos and pear? Speculoos and Nutella? Speculoos and Nutella and peanut butter??). It’s really good for you, too. No, really! It gives you lots of energy and happiness.
Speculoos, people. If you’ve had it, you know the bliss that I describe. If you haven’t, you must try it. And if you can’t find it, maybe I can be convinced to start a Speculoos mail order business.
Ah, that's what those jars are I keep seeing and getting very excited about because I think they're cheap peanut butter.
ReplyDeletemy ass hates you
ReplyDeleteseen a link to this somewhere else - can't remeber who said it was good.
ReplyDeleteBut I did find 'Skippy' peanut butter in a Parisien supermarket much to my US friend's disgust as she carried jars over from Florida for the French Zorro! One of the few Frenchmen who actually likes peanut butter!
Hi, Spekulatius are actually from Belgium/Netherlands/Germany.
ReplyDeleteThey taste great!
I keep hearing/reading about this!! I wonder if I can find it in a UK store?
ReplyDeleteWhat is in it? I almost bought it this weekend, and I hesitated. Can you be more descriptive?
ReplyDeleteLove Speculoos! Good thing it's so readily available here in The Netherlands!
