Speculoos Popcorn

Speculoos or Biscoff Spread Popcorn Vegan and Delicious

Popcorn is utterly delicious when popped at home; a world apart from the smelly, over-priced vats that are sold in the cinema.    I find it is best enjoyed super-fresh, still warm from the pan.  If you do not slather it in fatty and sugary toppings, it is both a healthy and filling snack.    It always amazes me that although popcorn seems totally dry, there is enough water still within to turn to steam with enough pressure to cause it to pop.   I try to use a more expensive gourmet popcorn, after all a little goes a long way, and overall it is still a frugal snack (not to mention an excellent way to entertain small children on a rainy afternoon).

Bowl of Speculoos popcorn

Delicious and morerish Speculoos spread is hard to describe, I only discovered it on my last trip to France.  It is Lotus biscuit paste in a jar.   Spicy and caramalised (remarkably Lotus biscuits account for a massive 20% of biscuit consumption in their home county of Belgium).  Perfect spread on toast, pancakes in cakes or sometimes it begs to be eaten straight from the jar with a spoon standing in front the still open cupboard.  Remarkably it is one of those “accidentally” vegan products, free from diary and eggs.  It is also a good peanut butter substitution for nut allergy sufferers.

    My italian housemate always used to make popcorn (and wrecked one of our saucepans too in the process) but it’s something I never think to do at home. I know Ted would love it though and it occurs to me it would be ideal for his birthday parrty. Now to see if I can make my single jar of speculoos paste last until then!!

    That sounds like amazing stuff. I have always wondered about what makes popcorn pop, although obviously not enough to look it up, so thanks for clearing that up, hehe :D

    You can also make popcorn in the microwave without having to use specially-branded microwave popcorn. Basically, you just need a paper bag, full details here: http://www.squawkfox.com/2010/07/27/popcorn-recipe-gourmet-popcorn. This looks like a great popcorn topping, and I love the idea of speculoos flavour on everything!

    I do love popcorn and can just imagine this being so addictive. Then again, it’s low fat so I can eat bowls full and enjoy it!!

    Very late in seeing this, only just discovered your website and never heard of the delicious sounding speculoos but it all sounds fab – I love popping corn and it always seems brilliant that it’s so exciting to my 5 yeard old yet frugal and healthy. Have to get my hands on some speculoos. Andrea

    Found the spread in Waitrose this week – apparently they’ve been stocking it for a while now!
    My god, I can only say that on the way I bought it I devoured half the jar in front of the cupboard, just spooning it out. Now I’m trying to save it! :)
