I fell in love with Biscoff Cookies, it seems a life time ago, and when I started seeing them in our local Kroger, and it was like seeing an old friend! I started bringing them home in small quantities and noticed they were disappearing quickly! Turns out my family is as big a fan as I! A few months ago, I noticed when I was purchasing our favorite all natural peanut butter, there above on the next shelf was the familiar red, white and gold label from the cookies, what?
BISCOFF SPREAD!

Well, if you know me, I didn’t have to think long on this one and snagged a jar ‘just to try it out’ (yeah right) and I didn’t get the groceries put up at home before I’d opened the jar, dipped in a spoon and found myself just shy of heaven! (I hid the jar, btw, I’m selfish that way)
Since then, I’ve noticed the spread in almost all our local grocery stores right there in the peanut butter section, but if you need help locating the product, try the store locator to find it where you live!
Recently, I was contacted by the company to tell you about Biscoff Spread and a fabulous contest they have going on. Knowing how much I love the product and how many different ways I’ve used it since I found it, I thought you’d all enjoy a fresh recipe and some more information on it as well as some glorious details on their contest. When the product arrived here at our home, my husband immediately opened the jar and dug in a spoon, he’s as in love with it as I am!
Biscoff Spread is made from the actual Biscoff Cookies, in Belgium. It contains no Trans fats, no preservatives, no cholesterol, no GMO or artificial colors and most importantly for those of you with children who are nut sensitive, no nuts! Plus it’s completely Vegan! You can use it just as you would peanut butter, on toast or bagels, for sandwiches or snacks (it’s particularly delicious spread into a celery rib or you could do just as I do and sneak a teaspoonful when you need a quick snack.)
I took my favorite Blondie Recipe and added in ½ Cup of Biscoff Spread and well, you’ve just got to try these! Grab a print for yourself and make some this afternoon!

OMGoodness! We LOVE Biscoff! It’s one of the few decadent treats that we dip into from time to time. It was actually in Brugges, Belgium that I first discovered the awesomeness that is what I lovingly refer to as “cookie butter” . . . Gareth was indulging in chocolate ice cream and I had vanilla ice cream with what they called “Speculoos” Biscoff on top. It was HEAVEN IN A BOWL!
Anyhow, I still eat it that way, and my daughter Gaby, gets a spoon and with either scoop it onto apple slices, or if I’m not looking, eat it right out of the jar.
Oh oh oh! Before I forget, second-favorite way is on top of hot oatmeal. OMGoodness. Such a treat and so good! I can’t wait to take Gaby to Brugges so she can have it where it originated, and at the same little cafe, which is still there!
I’m a spoon person myself. But these.. oh these will make your tongue slap your face!
Still no Biscoff in Australia where I live. I can only hope it will find its way soon. :) Your blondies sound great.
