Lotus Biscoff Original Caramelised Biscuits – What You Need To Know
From textures to flavors and more, here’s everything you need to know about Lotus Biscoff Original Caramelised biscuits.
1. Packaging
A 124-gram pack holds eight individually-packed units. There are two cookies in each.
2. Ingredients
Wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oils, candy sugar syrup, raising agent, soya flour, salt, and cinnamon are all ingredients used.
3. Taste
A noteworthy ingredient on the list was candy sugar syrup. How is this different from a simple syrup?
Candy sugar syrup is plain white sugar that is boiled in water until it combines into a thick syrup. This is primarily used in Belgian beers (Dubbel/Tripel) to add the distinctive flavor.
Does this syrup bring the caramel flavors?
4. Flavour
Cinnamon, though classified as a spice, lends a sweet warmth to dishes and drinks. Do these biscuits taste cinnamon-y?
5. Munchiness
Dunk in a warm beverage or nibble on as a snack, biscuits and cookies must have a bold crunch, a significant bite to them.
How did Lotus Biscoff fare on the munch factor?
6. Shelf Life
Lotus Biscoff has a 12-month shelf life.

First off, the packaging. It isn’t just convenient but also ensures freshness. There are eight packs, each holding two cookies. This style of packing makes them an ideal on-the-go snack too.
Since these cookies are tightly wrapped, none of them were broken. Owing to this strategic packaging, the crunch in texture is intact. These tasted fresh and had a bold bite!
In terms of taste, all flavoring ingredients made their presence felt. Whether it was the cinnamon warmth, the caramelly sweetness, or the sweet-cutting salt, these cookies had a pretty good taste.
The candy sugar syrup has this caramel richness that pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of cinnamon. A very mild tinge of salt creates a nice balance, ensuring the overall sweetness isn’t overpowering.
We compared the calories of Lotus Biscoff with other regular biscuits (without a cream/center filling) to find that there’s only a marginal difference in the overall calories.
