Speculoos is a thin Belgian biscuit made with brown sugar and warm spice, cinnamon and nutmeg among them, baked until it caramelises. It's the biscuit behind the spread that made this flavour common outside Europe. Pairing it with salted caramel doubles down on the caramelised note rather than contrasting against it, and the spice is what stops the tub becoming one flat sweet thing. Cinnamon against salt is a sharper combination than either is against plain caramel. It sits in Bulla's Murray St range and is the most modern-feeling flavour in it, where the rest of the line runs to nuts, vanilla and chocolate. The biscuit arrives in pieces rather than as a swirl, so it keeps its snap.
