I tried it for the first time today, expecting it
to be overly sweet. It was not. It was just fine,
and had a proper amount of spiciness, more than I
was expecting.

I also finally broke down and bought the dark
chocolate bar with speculoos filling. It was better
than I expected, with just the right thickness to
the chocolate shell to give a good mouth feel to
the bar as a whole. Unfortunately, the filling
did not seem as spicy as the spread from a jar.
That may have been because of the chocolate or
maybe it really was a different recipe from the
spread.

I'm not going to buy either product again (actually,
the spread was a free sample, so I didn't buy it)
because they're too far out of my health comfort
zone, but both products were better than I expected.
If you don't care about your health, you might enjoy
them.
