    Ok, just using a spoon and dipping it in the jar aside, I buy these really thin rice cakes by Real Foods (they're the same size around but 1/2 the height and 1/2 the calories) and spread a tablespoon on it.

    Biscoff spread and cookie butter are amazing. I haven't had either in a while though as you really can't eat them with anything.

    They're different things? I bought a small jar at Walmart at one point but now not sure which one. I *was* proud of myself for logging every last gram of that jar tho. :)

    Biscoff spread is a cookie butter using Biscoff cookies. Usually when people say just cookie butter, they are talking about the Trader Joe's famous cookie butter, which uses a different cookie. Both are really good. But you are right, very sweet, which is why I can't figure out what to eat it with.

    I went to a party one time and they had sandwiches with those flat chocolate covered pretzel thins with a schmear of cookie butter in the middle.

    Basically these:

    Last winter we had a massive tin of shortbread that someone dropped off in our office. I spread peanut butter between two, and it was amazing. I need to try that with cookie butter.

    Look at the little eyes and nosey.

    That looks soooooooooooooo good tho.

    I'm trying to think of all the cookie butter items Trader Joe's sold. Spread it between a couple shortbread cookies, swirl some in some cream cheese, make cheesecake. :p

    That sounds good too. You know TJ's has a cookie butter sandwich cookie now, but I haven't tried it yet.

    Thanks. Going to try just pretzel thins with the cookie butter and see how that is (so I can have more in 1 sitting lol). Then the chocolate.

    With the Biscoff spread I've been putting it on a tortilla & nuking it in the microwave for a few seconds. Sooooo good.

    Hahaha you are all making me drool badly.

    Went to Shop Rite, couldn't find any of the things I've been looking for sadly (yogurts, oreos) but I got these

    keebler-fudge-stripes-pumpkin-spice-cookies-.jpg?itok=t7NQJG4S

    Will have to try them out when PMS is over (or I'll probably eat the whole package).

    Bought a box of these from GNC since they were a dollar cheaper than Quest to see if they were as good & they're definitely not!

    The bar has a weird texture that my sister said reminded her of Laffy Taffy. The bar also doesn't have much of a taste compared to the Quest bar.

    The calories are 10 less than Quest, but I'll definitely take quality over lower calories when it comes to protein bars.

    That's what my friend used to make them. They were delicious but super rich.

    Ooh! Every time I go into Giant I always look at the cookie aisle to see if they're in. The reviewer on Impulsive Buy said they don't have much or any of a pumpkin taste, but they're still good.

    I guess I just don't get it. Like, yeah, it's spreadable cookies... But why?

    For me it's that hint of ginger in the Trader Joe's cookie butter. It's just really good!

    I have some HEB cookie butter, 2 for $4 right now for those interested, sitting in my cabinet. I've had Trader Joe's cookie butter sandwich cookies, but never the plain butter. I'm gonna wait until I finish my one of the other two PBs, JIF and dark chocolate wonderful, to crack one open.

    I bought a small bottle of this stuff because it was on clearance. It was good enough for my Oreos, and I was pretty okay with the taste. I'd pick it up again if it weren't super pricey normally.

    Trolli Sour Gummy Sharks were the Free Friday Coupon deal at Kroger a week or so ago. These aren't very sour, which is good for me, but they're also really bland. I've had nearly two servings, and only one or two sharks had any sugar. I'm gonna toss what I have left.

    These guys send me out a LOT of coupons a few weeks ago. I was a little worried when I was getting ready to pull some out because it looked a lot harder than I'm used to, but it was actually really nice! I think I'm going to make an Pop Tart sandwich with some soon.

    Can I just say I'm counting the days until I can get trader joe's ginger joe-joes? Unfortunately they seem to only come covered in white chocolate (ok, that's not the unfortunate part) in a mixed pack. They're all really good, but the ginger are to die for. And they weren't out until almost christmas last year. :sad:

    Lol. Well, I tasted it in their cheesecake bites and it was good, but probably too sweet for me on their own.

    I got a variety pack of joe joes last year and the ginger ones were the best...

    Am I the only one who thinks those look like something other than a shark?

    With some imagination... yeah. Especially the right one... lol.

    I tried the Ansi chocolate chip cheesecake bar today. It was pretty good. Again, I like the texture, but the flavour is fairly mild and doesn't actually taste like cheesecake. That's all the flavours of the cheesecake bars I got and I would summarize by saying B-up bars are tastier and have a similar texture, which (as I've said) is softer and smoother than Quest. But besides the strawberry, the cheesecake bars are nice if you want something with a mild flavour and smooth texture. I don't intend to buy more, though.

    I get what you're saying, but they just remind me of airplanes more than anything. Disappointing little planes...

    I just noticed this at my local David's Natural Market. Definitely an interesting choice of ingredients, but surprisingly very good (and by that I mean not horrific like I was expecting)! Tastes like Thanksgiving in a less salty jerky. Good, but probably not something I'd spend $3 on again xD

    Yeah, doesn't sound particularly appetizing.
