Like many, I tend to have low expectations for airplane food; I’ve learned to be satisfied with a packet of unsalted peanuts. Now imagine my surprise and delight on a flight a few years back when a flight attendant handed me something that had an actual taste: Biscoff cookies. Cinnamon-y, crisp, and straight out of Belgium, these cookies made their mark on my heart.
Fast forward to an ordinary Wegmans excursion, in which I stumbled across a jar of these legendary cookies… in a spread. The game was forever changed. I consider myself a Nutella fan, but Biscoff definitely gives it a run for its money.
Biscoff spread is vegan, nut-free, and even has less calories and sugar than everyone’s favorite hazelnut spread. Nutella may have a cult following, but these 5 Biscoff spread recipes just might convert you.
