nutella vs. cookie butter

Instagram has become the modern-day billboard.

For one, most celebrities and everyone who follows them almost always check on the social networking sites such as facebook, twitter and instagram to get an update as to what's happening around the metro.

Heck, even I no longer subscribe to a newspaper (although my dad still does!). But to keep me up-to-date on things, I just browse through twitter and I’m updated! Its because I follow newsites like Inquirer, ANC, CNN, Rappler, telecommunication like Globe Telecom, showbiz sites like Pep, TMZ, Eonline, even sites for government agencies and tons of celebrities…Ha!

Every morning I check on twitter feeds for news to see what’s out there! Hehehe If something interests me, I google it for more info. (Darn, I’m becoming tech-dependent! Yikes!) 

Anyhow, earlier this year, its has been rampant on instagram the Speculoos Cookie Butter spread. As in every celebs have it and sorta became a semi-“status” symbol since only a few have tasted it. If you’re cool and fab and in the “in-crowd”, you certainly have posted a pic on instagram. They swore by it…even compared it to (my beloved) nutella! 

Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter

So naturally, the curious kid in me had to try it…right?!? I scouted the malls and groceries—to no avail. Then I went online, but they are all pre-ordered kind of thing…and it will take atleast 2months for the product because of the demands and bulk orders. Until  early April, I found someone online selling which was pretty darn near our house, and theirs are on-hand stocks—no need to wait! Ha! So I bought 2 bottles (kahiya kasi if one lang bilhin ko!) 

I tasted it, so did my mom. 

My verdict? It was okay, I guess. Nothing spectacular.

I like gingerbread and cookie butter tasted like one. Although I must confess I’m not really a “butter” person—peanut butter and alike. I didn’t like it as a spread. I liked it straight from the spoon! Its not something I will crave for. I can live with or without it. But it’s a good conversation piece though, most guys I (heard) loved the cookie butter! 

I am still a fan of and ever-loyal to Nutella. I love it…I crave it…I hoard it…and I look forward having it! Hehe Because I am a certified chocoholic! I can eat it with bread or from spoon. I can make a cookie or cake out of it. Its so versatile! (can you just imagine my happiness?!?) hehehe

yum! 3 is definitely not a crowd! :)

Over all I’m still for the nutella over cookie butter. But I wont turn down a cookie butter if given a chance! Hehehehehe
