Whichever origin they may have, spéculoos are no ordinary biscuits: they usually have a special shape, either that of a person or an animal. The shape is given by using a mould, called a "planche à spéculoos". In the region many ancient "planches", or boards for making spéculoos have been discovered which are so finely sculpted they are true works of art. Today, the spéculoos is ideal taken with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, but can also be enjoyed with desserts, or as a sweet accompaniment to foie gras.
