They're also very chocolate-deficient and therefore not worth my time. Life is too short for anything vanilla, shortbread, or sugar cookie adjacent (which I recall Biscoff to be).
I understand that this is a blazing hot culinary take and might be the most controversial thing I've written on HN. Before downvoting please consider that this isn't elitism or opinion - everybody the world over deserves the joy of flavor in their confections instead of cloying bland sweetness. Embrace variety and live your life. Throw your Biscoff in the trash and buy some Tim Tams or Thin Mints.
That's why you buy the ones with chocolate :) https://www.biscoff.com/us/our-products/biscoff-classic-cook...
You had me till Tim Tams.
Those things have been enshittified to being brown dyed sweet biscuit your decrying and I hate that we (Australians) still talk them up.
The last time I had them (almost a decade ago) they were delicious. Reading that they've been so adulterated makes me sad :-(
