I got my first facial this past weekend. Every woman I know tells me how amazing they are and I’ve never had the experience! I’m kind of weird about my face. It can be really sensitive to certain products and I just don’t really like people touching my face. Is that weird? I’m ok with full body massages but I can’t deal with people touching my face, lol
Anyway, so the esthetician told me that my skin is amazing and I have really great tone. She then told me though she can see more sun damage on my driver side :( I don’t use SPF in my moisturizer (I know) because it’s just one of those things that I don’t THINK to use SPF in unless I’m going to be outside tanning or being in the sun long term. So, of course, now I’m freaking out and scouring the web for the best facial moisturizer with SPF in it. I did buy one at the spa that has 30 SPF but I want something that you guys have used. I love my current moisturizer (Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve) but it doesn’t have SPF! So, please let me know what your favorite face moisturizer with SPF is! Thanks :)
Have you ever had Biscoff spread before? Or flown Delta and were given those addicting little cookies? Well, those addicting little cookies are Biscoff cookies and my friend Katrina Bahl (In Katrina’s Kitchen) wrote an ENTIRE cookbook on Biscoff. So many irresistible treats in this cookbook and I think you need to get your baking mitts on it.
I chose to make these fudgy Biscoff swirl brownies and I’m not just saying this because Katrina is my friend or anything, but I’m saying this because this is the truth. I’ve never had or made a brownie quite like this before. It is the moistest, fudgiest, and most amazing brownie I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. I made a batch of these just in time for Jason’s parents and aunts and uncles who were in town to sample and by far, the #1 comment that everyone said was how surprisingly moist these brownies were.
It was soo hard not to eat the entire pan. We would microwave the brownies for 10-15 seconds and then put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Omg, it was unbelievable. You HAVE to make these and you HAVE to buy the cookbook. There are SO many awesome recipes in there and this is a one-of-a-kind cookbook since there’s no book out there that is dedicated to the Biscoff spread. Yum!!
Fudgy Biscoff Swirl Brownies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (220 g) dark brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 2 cups (360 g) dark chocolate chips , (or milk or semi-sweet, whichever is your favorite)
- ½ cup (114 g) unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (118 g) Biscoff spread, up to 1 cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving at least a 1-inch overhang on the sides. Spray with cooking spray.
- Place brown sugar and granulated sugar into the bowl of your mixer and set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter over low heat or you can do this in the microwave at 30-second increments.
- Remove from heat and pour into the bowl of your mixer with the sugars and begin mixing on low. Add eggs, vanilla, and salt.
- Add flour, 1/2 cup at a time, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add Biscoff and microwave for 15-30 seconds.
- Pour over the pan in 3 strips lengthwise. Run a butter knife through the batter the opposite direction (widthwise) to create swirls.
- Bake 35-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool to room temperature then cut and serve.

The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem solved soon. Many thanks
What version of IE are you using? I just opened up my site in IE 11.0 and it looks fine. Sorry it’s happening to you!
These look gorgeous. Like a normal brownie (aka awesome) but even better due to their biscoff swirl of tasty goodness!
These look beyond fabulous!!
Go to Paula Begoun’s website. She reviews all kinds of skin products and makeup, evaluating their effectiveness and truth of their claims. She’ll point out anyi ingredients that may be skin irritants.
These brownies sound fabulous!
Her site is my new favorite for all things cosmetics – thank you SO much for letting me know!! :) :)
Warm fudgy brownies with cookie butter swirled inside and ice cream on top? *cue choir of angels*
I’m with Katrina, I use the daily Oil of Olay with SPF 15 (I think). It’s fairly inexpensive, but seems to work really well for me. I got my first facial last year and totally fell asleep near the end, haha. I guess it was pretty relaxing!
Also I have been looking for a dessert to make for the holidays and these brownies look like they’re it :) Can’t wait to try them, thank you to Julie AND Katrina!
These are genius!!!
These brownies look awesome! I use cetaphil spf 15 for my daily moisturizer.
these look delish!!
