I have been making so much with Peanut Nutella and Biscoff recently. But it’s mainly because I need to work through the jars of spreads in my pantry! I am done with the Peanut Nutella and nearly done with the Biscoff, so never fear. I will move on from these flavors soon. But I’m glad…
Peanut butter, Nutella, and Ritz crackers are an elite combination, one I mastered in the sixth grade when I had very strong after-school snack game. So, in my efforts to use Peanut Nutella in as many ways as I can think of, I figured a Ritz combination was in order. Also, because I had Ritz…

I’ve been craving Biscoff a lot recently. Which is kind of random, for me. I typically don’t think of Biscoff/cookie butter, and it’s certainly not something I seek out.
