I called tonight about their cookies, which I've started seeing locally.  The customer rep could not possibly have been more helpful, or knowledgeable about our issues. 

He assured me that both the cookies and the spread are made in a completely, totally PN & TN-free facility.  Can't wait to try the cookies; I imagine they are like the Bistro Biscuits I got from TJ's yesterday.  Yummo!
Does that include the "Anna's Thins" cookies? I think I've seen those at the store.

The Biscoff cookies are the same ones that some airlines used to serve onboard, if I recall . . .   ;)

Is this where I blame iPhone and cuss like an old fighter pilot's wife?

**(&%@@&%$^%$#^%$#$*&      LOL!!

No, Anna's are from a different facility and are all "may contain" or "shared equipment". 

Pity, because I used to looovvvvve those.

I just found it at Stop & Shop today.  Next to the PB.  I bought it, but just got home and have not tried it yet.

got it!  Bought some last night - very interesting! Tastes (as it should) just like a cookie. It's super sweet. I have no idea how I'll eat it, it needs something super dark chocolate maybe?   I can imagine making a frosting and flavoring it w/ Biscoff or for a cupcake filling. Another idea is swirling it into homemade vanilla icecream!

I have ZERO idea HOW IN THE WORLD this is a "peanut butter replacement"?  They better watch out, the Nutella-lady is gonna sue Biscoff!

So, is it kinda like eating a can of frosting?  I am having such a hard time imagining just what this is!

it's smooth, but not like frosting. It tastes like Biscoff cookies, which kinda taste a little graham crackery to me. Like a "graham cracker shortbread cookie" kinda. I thought it would have been grainy --- creamed cookies --- but it's super smooth, I'm guessing like what a super smooth fat-rich peanut butter texture would be. But, it tasted NOTHING like pn butter or anything nutty, it tastes like the cookies.

It's very strange.

This is a close comparison, IMO.



Like brown sugar and cinnamon grahams whipped with crisco.   :P  I prefer the smooth (though obviously not-so-much... really isn't to my taste).

The 'crunchy' version is like... um... gritty, somehow.  The way that oreo cookie ice cream is gritty, but drier.
Resistance isn't futile.  It's voltage divided by current.

Somehow I missed this thread.  I was visiting my family yesterday & my 16yo nephew was telling me about this spread.  My kids ears perked up, I told them it probably wasn't safe.  My nephew tells me it's vegan.  I'm going to see if I can pick some up for a special treat...

MaryM, DS loved it.  I don't have much of a sweet tooth so it wasn't my thing, but he loved it on Challah or on toast.  Also on Ritz crackers.

I have never seen it but here where I live probably won't. I will look when I move. Is this spread safe for sesame allergy?

I finally figured out what it's really good on--bananas. I just smear some on the side of a banana, and eat it that way.  Oh, it's so good!
