Biscoff cookies have a cult-like following for a reason. Known for their unique caramelized flavor, these cookies are more than just a snack; they’re a comforting experience. Some fans are taking their love of Biscoff to new heights, integrating them into desserts and recipes that elevate the humble cookie.

Take Staccato L'ouverture’s tweet, for example, where he raves about adding Biscoff cookie crumbles to his cheesecake for an “out-of-this-world” flavor combo:

"I used to put Biscoff cookie crumbles over my Eli’s Cheesecake. It was phenomenal!"

And it’s not just fans like Staccato. Alaska Airlines, an airline known for serving Biscoff cookies on their flights, stoked the debate by tweeting:

"Great snack debate: Biscoff cookie or pretzels?"

In response, Gabe Morrison chimed in with a firm stance, expressing his disappointment whenever he's handed pretzels instead of Biscoff cookies:

"This isn’t even a topic of discussion. Biscoff cookies all day! I’m beyond disappointed whenever I’m handed a bag of pretzels."

 

While Biscoff may boast a caramelized elegance, pretzels hold their own as a timeless classic. They’re salty, crunchy, and versatile, often dipped in chocolate, caramel, or even peanut butter. Pretzels have always held a special place in snack culture, known for their wide range of flavors and textures.

Rachel (@Baby71cakes) jumped into the conversation to remind us of the thrill of flavored pretzels:

"If you haven’t tried these pretzels, I highly recommend you do. I’ve had all three flavors, but this one is my favorite."

For those who love variety, pretzels provide the perfect base to experiment with different flavors and toppings, making them a go-to snack for those who enjoy salty and sweet combinations. And let’s not forget the creativity of treats like the "Definitely Amazing Cheesecake," which incorporates both pretzels and Biscoff for a decadent dessert:

"We dip it in our Salted Caramel Chocolate, then roll it in a blend of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, crushed pretzels, Biscoff cookies, and some vanilla cookie crumbles! We sauce it up with Cookie Butter, Caramel, and Marshmallow," shares @DefinitelyRAN.

"Alright, y’all. So I tried the Biscoff S’mores (with some caramel on top) and can confirm: it’s going to be a problem. I’m not even gonna lie, I took the first bite and moaned a little."
