Just found this company that is marketing speculoos spread in the US:

Watch out for the high fat content! 6g per 2 Tbsp serving is double the fat found in peanut butter. I guess we'll have to enjoy in moderation ...

I have consumed both of these things, when on an extended business trip in Rotterdam some time ago. I have since resisted, including on DL. On DL it is because I normally do not eat their food, otherwise because they are not exactly my cup of tea. I am reminded of Marmite, which I also will not consume.

What kind of peanut butter only has 3 grams of fat per 2 Tbsp? I need to get some.

The last 4 flights I traveled on didn't offer up the Biscoff cookies. They just slapped 2 bags of peanuts on my tray. 
I love me some Biscoff.

Tamarin Spread
Calories 200 / From fat 130
Total Fat 15g (23%)
Saturated Fat 6g (30%)
Trans Fat 0g
Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter
Calories 190 / From fat 140
Total Fat 16g (25%)
Saturated Fat 3g (15%)
Trans Fat 0g
So ... all in all the two products are comparable except for saturated fat content.

bought a box load of biscoff recently (went through like 6 bags already. think im going to get diabetes now) and they came with some of the spread samples for free.
spreading them on two slabs of biscoff and eating it together = biscoff overkill. still cant decide if its a good or bad thing.
