The Cookie Butter Craze

For those of you who haven't tried it, cookie butter is a popular treat that takes a spiced European cookie and turns it into a peanut butter-type spread. The cookie butter craze has officially taken over the world. 

I tried it when Trader Joe's started carrying it a couple years ago, but it wasn't really my thing.  As a full-fledged fan of Nutella, I don't understand the cookie butter hype, but I fully support anything that causes sane people to lose their minds.

Little did I know that the butter was in such high demand!  After a relaxing night out with friends, cookie butter and Pretzel Crisps, I learned that not only do most Trader Joe's have a limit of two jars per person, but apparently, they sell out ridiculously fast!

The next morning, I made my way over to Trader Joe's, picked up a jar (there were six pallets of jars on a Sunday) and proceeded to make a cinnamon-vanilla cupcake with cookie butter buttercream frosting...just for the addicts. 



By Tuesday, ALL SIX PALLETS WERE GONE.  Seriously.  Ya'll are crazy and I love you.
