We finally found a peanut butter that we love through Trader Joe's.  But apparently Trader Joe's also makes a version of Biscoff and now the PB has a warning on it regarding shared lines with wheat.  Grrr. 

Not sure what to do because the last jar didn't have the warning, the new jar does.  But I am guessing they didn't change manufacturing processes in the last month. 

And yes, I should have called but at the same time it's one of those items that you don't think about.

Ugh-- any chance you could find a local grind-it-on-the-spot place in a health food store?    Not the same, I know.  I'm a fan of creamy, myself, and the insta-grind stuff always seems to wind up a little grainy for my taste.   :-/

We can make due with what is readily available in the grocery store and have in the last week because I haven't been able to make it to TJ's.  We liked the fact that this one didn't have palm oil though.  I am pretty sure if I searched in the grocery store I could find one sans palm oil and junk fillers.

DS1 who abhored peanut butter for years absolutely adores it now and would gladly eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner unless I am making spaghetti.  It does make for a fun lunch making time - PB&J on rice bread for DS1, PB&J on wheat bread for DD and Sunbutter and jelly on wheat bread for DS2.  Which is why I ask for complete silence and have to have three counters cleaned off to make lunch.

oooh, we found some of this today at Wal-Mart by the Wowbutter. 

Oh my.  It's freakishly good.  FREAKISHLY good. 

We're all dreaming up different ways to use it.  Pretzels???  Bagels??  Apple slices??  Honestly, I foresee most of it going being eaten straight out of the jar with a spoon.

Have I mentioned how FREAKISHLY GOOD this is???

(not at all healthy though.)

That's precisely how my DD feels about the stuff.  LOL.  I had to wait until the second jar to even get to TRY any of it, and I still can't quite figure out why she thinks it's so terrific. 

She's a bit obsessed, in fact.  Any mention of the store which carries it is followed by a perky, pleading... "MMMMmmm... Biscofffff spread??  Puhleeeeeeeez?"

We tried it!  It's good but I'm not sure how we'd use it.  As of now it's a special treat to have a spoonful!   It might be good on a cupcake...

Found it yesterday and decided to give it a try.  Just tasted it on a banana.  Good, but I prefer Sunbutter or soynut butter on it.  It is tastey but not a PB sub IMO.  More of a dessert item.  Dd loves it, which is good.  She is enjoying it with saltines, and right now, dipping pretzel goldfish in it.  Ds refuses to try it, lol.  "looks gross" according to him.

Finally bought a jar...oh boy it could be very dangerous.  So far best on apple slices.  Tried it on graham crackers but the graham flavor hides the biscoff flavor.

It's good on Biscoff cookies!  I found both today at Walmart.  Thanks, guys, for the idea!

oh yeah, I mean -- I don't know how people think it's a PB substitute, it's only the color and consistency that is the same.

IT'S FR---ING CRUSHED UP COOKIES!

I put some on a crepe last night that also had super dark chocolate swirls in it from melted 80% cacoa bars. I think I can only have the Biscoff spread with super dark chocolate...it's so sweet!
