Speculoos Mars Pie | PPQ

Mars Pie

Another ode to my favorite cookie and spread - Speculoos. I've used the cookie here and the spread here. This newest iteration, courtesy of Project Pastry Queen, incorporates both the Biscoff cookie and the Speculoos spread in the form of a Mars Pie, or what I'd like to think, a bite-sized S'mores cookie.

Rather than making a large cookie, I choose to make a smaller sandwich version that people can finish off in a bite or two.

Spec Marshmallow

This was the best thing about the recipe: a soft fluffy homemade marshmallow drizzled with melted Speculoos spread - Speculoos marshmallows!!!! After the sandwich cookies were completed, I put large heaping spoonfuls of melted bittersweet chocolate on the tops of each sandwich and using the back of a spoon, swirled the chocolate around so it ran off the edges and dripped down the sides of the cookie. I finished off them off with 2-3 teaspoons of Speculoos cookie crumbs.

Labor intensive but yummy and fun to make and eat. I'd definitely serve this at a party or event as part of a dessert spread. For the full recipe, visit Shawnda at Confessions of a Foodie Bride as she was the original host of this Project Pastry Queen recipe.
