Hi I’m from Germany and I recently discovered these different spreads other than peanut butter here that I found quite tasty.
One was a peanut butter chocolate spread from Reese’s who also makes my favorite candy Reese’s peanut butter cups.
And I found a chocolate cream that’s like Nutella but with crunchy pieces mixed in like the one in the image (tastes like Ovaltine powder or Whoppers candy and 55% of the ingredients is just sugar).
Nutella (/hazelnut spread) of course is very popular here but I rarely eat it. As a kid I used to love and be obsessed with this cookie butter from Lotus.
Other spreads I know would be Dulce de leche which is caramel flavored and popular in Latin America.
Is that something Americans would eat or does this sound very exotic/weird and they mostly stick to standard peanut butter?
I wouldn’t consider this a common product in the United States but I wouldn’t say it would be out of place either.
Peanut butter is most common, and Nutella became really prominent in recent history in the US but we also have cookie butter, marshmallow fluff, Cookies and cream spreads and S’mores spreads.
Oh man I completely forgot the cookie butter. I used to eat this at my grandma’s house as a child all the time and I loved it! (added that to the post)
Never had the Cookies and cream spreads but it looks very good, especially the marshmallow fluff I want to try.
