    No Trader Joe's near me. Dang.

    Seeing the Packers shirt, there is a Trader Joe's in Madison...

    Sorry I don't do trader joe's because they're owned by Aldi. Just google all the negative stuff about Aldi here in the US.

    i say OH -TO-THE-WELL...trader joe's is the most amazing store EVA! haha. okay, rather ignorant and shortsighted but in my eyes TJs can do no evil.

    I'm with you. I love my Trader Joes. However...I didn't see this item this weekend. I got hooked at the Cocoa Almond Spread. ***THUD****

    what does the sugar content look like? i won't touch nutella because it simply isn't healthy.... i compare it to cocoa pebbles!

    healthy or not--it's DAMN GOOD. I have to get my sugar from something and I'd rather it be cookie butter than ANYTHING else :) hehe.

    lol... i say that and then make a big batch of chocolate chip cookie dough to snack on... what's up with that? :blushing:

    Cookie Butter is less than 1g of protein :sad:

    I can't really fill my macros the way I can with Natural PB

    Speculoos cookies (and cookie butter) are the best! My mom will sometimes send me the real deal from Belgium, but it's good to know good old Trader Joe's has some.

    Agreed! I've got a jar at home and I'll have a spoonful after work when I get a sugar craving. It's the best 90 calories in a spoon around!

    ^ This. TJ's is the best store EVER.

    The cookie butter is amazing, and they put the same crack in their Pumpkin Ice Cream come fall. *kitten*...delicous evil *kitten*!!! : )

    Sooo...only 15 calories less (per tbsp) than peanut butter. I've never been on the nutella bandwagon, peanut butter wins every time. I'll stick with my peanut butter, banana, and cinnamon toast in the morning for the extra 30 calories for the full 2 tbsp serving.

    Yes, the stuff is GREAT!! I ordered my Speculoos online at Amazon... even though I ended up paying double. Trader Joe's isn't nearby unfortunately. But Publix carries Biscoff (nearly the same as Speculoos but doesn't have the same gingerbread-y thing going on... but still great!) and we got some of that a few days ago. Half the cost simply because of no shipping.

    GET THIS STUFF NOW!! :heart: :heart:

    ETA: My fave way to eat this stuff: Frozen multigrain waffle, 2 Tbsp of Americone Dream or a decent vanilla ice-cream, 1 Tbsp cookie butter, dash of cinnamon... perfect!!

    Well, it looks like peanut butter---tastes like graham crackers and butter, toffee, deliciousness mixed in. I guess it's comparable to Biscoff Spread in Britain or something.

    If you've flown Delta and know about the cookies they offer--those are Biscoff cookies and absolutely amazing! So yeah, the cookie spread is like that :) mmmm

    I am so going to Trader Joe's on the way home from work. You almost lost me at Nutella as I think that it taste horrible; but you had me at "graham crackers and butter, toffee, deliciousness mixed in". I'm not sure how I missed this in Trader Joe's.

    I don't like nutella either--this stuff--oh my goodness it is soooooo good. you MUST report back with your thoughts. don't forget your waffles...it's crucial!

    Will do. I love Trader Joe's Frozen Gluten Free waffles; even though I don't have Celiac disease, these are just freakin' awesome!

    Yes, and I've yet to find a better way to eat this stuff!! Outside of a finger in the jar & the waffle & ice-cream... and do not skip the cinnamon :)

    considering it tastes nothing like nutella--bad move.

    Well, you said it tastes better than Nutella. If someone said something tasted better than a pile of crap, I wouldn't be jumping up a down. I'd be more like, enjoy that "better than crap" thing. LOL.

    point taken but the thing with Nutella is that the vast majority of people think it's like HOLY *kitten* GOOD. (i don't but still)...so I was making the comparison to emphasize the goodness that is COOKIE BUTTER (NOM NOM NOM). I don't think most people say a pile of crap tastes good. It also tastes nothing like peanut butter---the comparison is mostly that it's a spread and similar in consistency...youd use it in much the same way I suppose.

    I use it instead of PB on my daughter's PB&J sandwiches because they cannot have PB at pre-school (please note that my daughter is pancreatic insufficient and therefore is on a high fat, high protein diet.)

    I went to Trader Joe's and bought the Cookie Butter and some Wheat-Free Frozen Waffles. I spread the Cookie Butter on the toasted waffle and took a bite..., :love: :heart: :love: both the Cookie Butter and I melted away into total bliss.

    Thank you OP for this thread! :drinker:
