Enjoy the caramelised biscuit taste as part of the drink itself with our easy tip
Credit: Getty
Enjoy the treats for less with these sweet ideas . . .
DRINK UP: Dunking may have had its day. Instead, enjoy that biscuit taste as part of the drink itself.
For a Biscoff latte, stir a tablespoon of spread into a quarter cup of strong coffee, then top with hot milk.
For a more decadent drink, add whipped cream. For a cooler treat, blend a scoop of ice cream with half a cup of milk, a ripe banana and then a heaped tablespoon of Biscoff spread.
SUPER SPREADERS: The main ingredient for these tastes can come from a 400g jar of Biscoff, down from £3.35 to £2.60 at Waitrose. You could also try Asda's caramelised biscuit spread for £1.99.
As well as eating it on toast, you can make chocolate chip cookies, putting a dollop of the spread on top of the cookies before baking.
For brownies, make your usual recipe and pour half the batter into the tin. Put random teaspoons of Biscoff spread over the mixture then cover with the rest of the batter.
Make DIY Biscoff ice cream by stirring swirls of the spread into low-cost vanilla ice cream. You could crumble some of the biscuits on top, too.
UP YOUR GAME: A pack of caramelised biscuits can be used for next level desserts.
They are a triumph in no-bake cheesecakes, using crushed Biscoff instead of digestives in the base. Whisk a couple of heaped tablespoons of the spread into the topping mixture, too.
How to cook the perfect biscoff apple crumble and it's the best thing you'll ever make in the air fryer
They also transform a tiramisu. Use a double layer of biscuits instead of sponge fingers.
Dip in coffee before using them to cover the bottom of a dish. Spoon over mascarpone whipped with cream and top with grated chocolate.

B&Q shoppers are racing to snap up £10 buy that elevates your garden and instantly adds privacy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) B&Q is selling the perfect budget friendly product to elevate your garden and add instant privacy to your outdoors space. With summer now upon us, and the Met Office predicting a heatwave is "likely" this weekend, many of us are likely planning to spend lots of time relaxing in the garden. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 B&Q is selling the perfect product to add privacy to your garden Credit: Alamy 2 Ornamental grass is great for adding privacy to your garden Credit: B&Q However, there's nothing worse than sitting outside with a glass of wine and a good book, only to realise that your nosy neighbour is peeking at you over the fence. Putting up a large fence around your garden may seem like the obvious choice to keep away prying eyes, but this can be expensive - and can sometimes lead to disagreements with neighbours. Paul CEO of plants and perennials specialists J. Parker's revealed that one stylish way of creating privacy in your garden is by planting ornamental grasses. He said: 'Grasses can be used easily to create internal screens or hedges that flower beautifully, move in the slightest breeze, and need little care during the summer months. "I recommend silvergrass or pampas grass to not only conceal your garden, but to introduce interesting textures. "Their fast growth rate makes ornamental grasses ideal for privacy hedges because new plants can rapidly fill in any gaps.' B&Q's Stipa Pony Tails Ornamental Grass is currently priced at £10.49, making it a perfect solution for penny pinchers. The height of the plant when you purchase it will be 30-45cm, but ornamental grass can grow up to three metres tall. The plant is low maintenance, so won't cause you any stress, plus its feathery plumes will elevate the look of your garden into a stylish haven. The expert revealed that another handy tip to add privacy to your garden is to cover up fences with evergreen climbers. I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30 He said: 'If you want to disguise fences, balcony railings or rooftop spaces, evergreen climbers are a fantastic solution. "Star Jasmine would be my top choice, it's a hardy, vigorous grower with glossy evergreen foliage, so it's the perfect all-year-round cover. "In summer, it bursts into fragrant, star-shaped flowers that fill your garden with an enticing scent. "If you don't have a surface to grow against, create a living fence by planting shrubs or small trees close together to make a natural wall of privacy. How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. "Varieties like golden privet hedging or, for a shorter screen, Salix (like Flamingo Willow) are trendy options that work well to cordon off designated areas in your garden.' Salix, or flamingo trees grow tall and quickly, meaning that they are a popular choice for hiding gardens from prying eyes. The trees are native to the UK and are popular due to their bright pink foliage, which is a similar shade to the flamboyant birds they are named after. This makes them perfect for adding a splash of colour to your garden, whilst also ensuring your outdoor space is shrouded from prying eyes. Shoppers have recently spotted flamingo trees for sale for £13 at Asda.
