Move over, Nutella!

"Pull up a chair. Take a taste. Come join us. Life is so endlessly delicious."

Normally, I pride myself in not falling prey to the shopping on an empty stomach shenanigans.  Today was different.  So, so, so very different.  The flesh is weak my friends.  The flesh is weak.  This morning I made a quick trip to the supermarket (one that was not to involve buying delicious things to stuff my face with).  Silly me thought that a 100 calorie bag of pretzels would be enough to prevent my sweet tooth from running wild.  I-was-wrong.  Like I said, normally these things do not happen to me.  Today, TODAY was different.  As I strolled through the frozen foods (ice creams, pies, etc.) section, I stopped as soon as the "Eggo" label was seen through the corner of my eye.  There was a quick debate (it lasted about .05 seconds and my craving won, obviously.  So, I stopped and stared at all the options that Eggo now has to offer.  When I was younger this was never an issue (it was original or buttermilk).  As I went over the different flavors, I figured, if I am going to do this, it may as well be kinda (and I am stressing the kinda) healthy.  Putting my qualms aside, I threw that box in the basket and walked away, quickly.  Here comes the best part (at least I think so).  I couldn't possibly eat my waffles without Nutella (no, I could not).  So, I walked my butt to the peanut butter aisle (this is where they keep the Nutella).  I was about to grab the little Nutella jar when I saw the Biscoff.  Biscoff?  What in the world is that?  I grabbed the jar and read.  Hmm, an European substitute for peanut butter, sounds good.  Contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, sounds good.  Biscoff is a vegan spread.  Say what?  Exactly.  I dropped that Nutella jar and left with the Biscoff in hand.  Though I was a little weary as to how the Biscoff would fare against Nutella, I was totally amped to try out something new.  And, good heavens, I am so glad I did.  Bye-bye Nutella!  Biscoff, you have found a permanent home in the Santos residence (I made my husband eat a waffle with Biscoff for dessert tonight, he is head over heels).  Biscoff, where have you been all my life?  This stuff is amazing.  AMAZING!  I plan on eating it with everything this weekend.  Pancakes, waffles, blueberries, strawberries, and toast.  Did I mention this stuff is delicious?  Heavenly?  Mouth-watering?  One spoonful and you'll be thinking, "Nutella who?".  Listen, don't judge.  Have you heard that saying, "Don't knock it till you try it"?  This is so fitting.  Biscoff, Biscoff, Biscoff, you and I shall meet again, tomorrow, say 7:30 AM?  It's a date ;)
