Biscoff Bars

Have you tried Biscoff spread yet?  If not, what rock are you living under?  Just kidding.  But I'm serious about this--run, don't walk, to your nearest Walmart and pick up a jar (or three...).  All the hype you've heard about Biscoff spread is true--it really is the best thing since Peanut Butter.  After hearing all my favorite bloggers raving about Biscoff, I knew I had to try it.  I enjoyed my first jar...

Spoonful by spoonful.

Yes, when I wanted a sweet treat, I headed straight for my jar of Biscoff.  A few delicious bites later, I was satisfied.  When I bought my second jar, I thought maybe I should use it for something other than a snack.  Perhaps, a recipe?  After all that is what I do!

I took my recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Bars, but I swapped out the Peanut Butter for Biscoff spread.  What a fantastic switch!  These bars were incredibly rich, but oh so delicious.
