> a peanut shortage prompted Delta, then America’s fourth-largest airline, to seek an alternative onboard snack<p>I never knew this was the reason. I had assumed that airlines stopped serving peanuts as an accomodation to the increasing number of people with peanut allergies.
Have you heard of Biscoff spread? It's kinda like peanut butter except, it's made out of cookies <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZsIY6PUPU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZsIY6PUPU</a> (might not be sfw)
Once in a while we pick up a pack of these from Costco, when we haven't flown in a while. They're pretty sweet, so we don't get them too often, but once in a while as a treat.

pairs well with a coffee but with a gin and tonic pretzels are the way to go.
Claire Saffitz makes cinnamon rolls with these cookies as the inner cinnamon filling, they’re so good with the spice
As a Belgian I still dislike this new branding.
Please, make sure you try these at least once in your life: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculoos" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speculoos</a>
Aren't they supposed to be full of sugar? Each time I've been tempted to pick them up when shopping, one look at the ingredients and nutritional profile is enough to dissuade me. I guess trying them once in a while won't kill me, though.<p>Apparently, they are a a brand of speculoos cookies, and this Wikipedia synopsis is eye opening:<p>> speculaas [speːkyˈlaːs] ⓘ refers to the more traditional variant, made with a mix of various spices, which is nowadays most popular in the Netherlands; speculoos [speːkyˈloːs] ⓘ refers to a Belgian variant that omits the traditional spices in favour of caramelized sugar for flavour, and which is nowadays the most common variant in Belgium and worldwide<p>So the Belgians enshittified speculaas to create speculoos, pumping it full of sugar, and presented it to the world as something special.
They're... cookies. A treat.<p>Looking at the nutritional profile of cookies doesn't make sense. You're supposed to eat them in such low quantity/frequency that it doesn't matter.
Yes things made with sugar have sugar.
Too sweet. Much would rather p-nuts.
I love these cookies
Americans love sugary factory-dust garbage of course they think it’s a treat. Non-US flights have 100x better service and amenities.
Honestly that's one of the few things I look forward to when flying these days, and a serious consideration on picking Delta if other factors are equal between airlines.
