Disclaimer: I don't really get Biscoff. Sure - they are the in thing right now, but they were always the little biscuit with coffee in my day. That little biscuit got bigger and then people started using it to make cheesecake bases and all kind of things.
But once you do that - it's just a weak gingerbread. The unique bit was the small crunchy burst of flavour with your coffee. Like I said - I don't get it.
Here we have an Oreo style arrangement with two of the larger Biscoff biscuits with a lovely vanilla creme in the middle. Its a good idea as ginger and creme goes well - Fox's Ginger Crunch has been doing it for years.
And they look pretty good too.
And they taste great too - that light ginger flavour and the creme to balance it out. Much softer biscuit than the traditional version too.
Maybe the popularity is due to them being a little toned down from the traditional ginger biscuits, maybe the crumb was a little softer and people liked that? Maybe it's just a cool brand that we associate with expensive coffee and it makes it feel more luxurious at home?
Eitherway at a £1 for 11 this feels a little steep, but as a nice holiday treat we quite enjoyed this.
Even if we had it with tea instead of coffee.

Haha! You either REALLY don't get them or this is a wind up.
The spice is cinnamon not ginger.
I think their popularity has increased because of the Biscoff spread, rather than the biscuits themselves.
