Spekuloo..I heart you!

New obsession: Wafel's & Dinges. I finally tried this AMAZING dessert Friday  and can not stop re-living the moment. I'm totally going to order spekuloo off of the website (yes, I will be that girl). After hearing about this truck for awhile, I stopped mid-conversation to make my way to the truck. It was love at first site. Even though I was full from lunch, I was not letting this opportunity pass. Naturally, I had to par-take in the Belgian greatness. I decided to 'go big or go home' with the classic Belgian Waffle opposed to my first instinct to try a small Wafelini. I was definitely torn on toppings...dulce de leche, nutella, fudge...what is a girl to do! I chose Belgian chocolate fudge being the chocolate fiend that I am and opted to try this funny sounding word--spekuloo. The sign said it's better than Nutella and a 'Belgian favorite' so expectations were high.Needless to say, I was not disappointed. 
Each waffle is made fresh and served warm for your liking. It was a pretty good size, but did not intimidate my sweet tooth. I literally ran back to the office so I could try it. The waffle was cooked perfectly, not too hard or soft, warm and loaded with the perfect amount of chocolate and spekuloo, and sprinkled with powdered sugar. The combination of Belgian chocolate fudge and spekuloo was a winner, and don't know if this combination can be topped. Spekuloo is a Belgian treat that looks like peanut butter and tastes like traditional Belgian ginger bread..it's pretty 'orgasmic' as the website boasts. It was a nice touch to the chocolate and had my heart from the beginning. Minus the powdered sugar that spilled all over my desk--I had a truly amazing experience. I will be there faithfully every Friday (well at least this Friday) to get a waffle and end my week right. I highly recommend everyone takes part in this Belgian greatness and get on the waffle band wagon. I'm currently on a mission to become 'Wafeltte of the Week.' Wafel & Dinges has something for everyone, plenty of tasty & creative toppings and good customer service. Spekuloo!
