Why is Biscoff the most popular thing on the internet? We take a look at this popular spread and make some wildly delicious (and easy) things with it. Em has strong feelings about this spread’s presence in the supermarket and Ben cranks out his fave adorable kitchen appliance again.

Note: When talking about coffee, Em was meant to mention that Biscoff biscuits were the biscuits given out at catered events in Belgium (hence the mention of instant coffee). Just wanted to clear that up in case any Belgian listeners think that they have no taste or coffee culture.

Meanwhile, Em dabbles in whipped cream of all forms and creates a family recipe in the style of a ripple cake.
