Trader Joe's now offers Speculoos Cookie Butter chocolate bars

Remember back in January, when Trader Joe's brand Speculoos Cookie Butter was so scarce in the 215 that my buddy Adam Riff ended up FedEx-ing me some from Cali? In that "Delicious or Suspicious?" experiment, it was scientifically determined that Flemish cookies transmogrified into Jif-like storebought butter was a great fucking idea. Looks like the aloha shirt-wearing life lovers at TJ's agree, so much so that they're now carrying SPECULOOS-FILLED CHOCOLATE BARS. You sick bastards. Obviously I bought one.

I guess it's the candy preparation process, but the dark choco-enveloped cookie butter in this particular treat is not as oily and creamy as its spreadable compadre — think more the consistency of Reese's peanut butter, which has also long been available in a jar. Oh man America is doomed.

Can we add a "like" feature onto this jawn? I don't really have anything to say about the post, but I sure do "like" it.
