I've been hearing a lot about this stuff from my friends. I've been an enormous fan of the Wafles and Dinges truck and their amazing speculoos spread for a long time, so I was a little skeptical of the one they sell at Trader Joe's. First off the hype around this stuff is a bit insane, you can only buy two jars a person. I've seen people try to bribe and flirt their way to an extra jar at the register. The one down by NYU is apparently has a hard time keeping it in stock and people are selling the $4 jar for around $7 to their desperate dorm mates.
While the spread is tasty, I don't think it compares to the one from Wafles and Dinges. This one has less of that snappy gingerbread taste that makes the spread so special and comes off a bit bland. But with it's easier accessibility, I can see its appeal, especially sincese you have to track down the truck to buy the good stuff and it costs about a dollar or two more. I can't say whether or not I'd buy it again since I've only ate it twice, but I'm definitely going to try and think of some recipes for it.
Love, fashion, and good eats,
