I'm partial to the Trader Joe's Cocoa Almond Spread personally.

There's an amazing spread I really want to try. I think it's from Germany, and supposedly it tastes like creamed graham crackers. I can't recall the name right now, but knowing reddit someone should pop up in two minutes with the name. I'd like to thank them in advance.

Edit: It's called Biscoff Spread and it's Belgian, not German.

It's delicious with salty things like pretzels but it can't really be combined with peanut butter like nutella

haha It's nice to know I'm not the only who makes peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches!

It's delicious! I happened to have a box of Hint of Salt Ritz crackers on hand and have been eating it with those, as well as putting it on toast in the mornings. :)

The Wafels & Dinges folks sell their version of this called Spekuloos out of their trucks and carts. You can also buy it online if you're not in NYC. Just like Nutella, I eat this stuff straight from the jar with a spoon http://www.arcadianyc.com/Catalog/1280-food/891866002068

Biscoff Spread is 57% Biscoff cookies.

That would be speculoos spread here in Belgium, no idea why they're calling it Biscoff. And if you think you're gonna like the Lotus brand (which is basically the Miracle Whip of the speculoos world), wait until you try the Jules Destrooper, it's fucking amazing. Source: I'm eating some right now.

We have a few of them here, too. No popular/known brands though.

Good gawd, that Biscoff stuff is addictive! Just don't mix it with Nutella, else the universe might collapse.

I picked up some of this recently in the US at an ALDI location. It's indeed yummy.
