For those who are looking to add more interest to [croissants and bagels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banquet-dor-biscofffilled-croissants), or other baked goods that are commonly consumed as breakfasts and snacks, Penotti launched two [coffee-inspired sweet speculoos spreads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-toffee-cookie).

While the Original Speculoos Spread from the brand is made with authentic caramelized Belgian butter cookies, these new additions enhance this flavorful base with the taste of Arabica coffee beans and milk. As the brand notes: "The combination of Speculoos and Espresso provides an intense and spicy taste sensation." All of the ingredients included in the sweet spreads from Penotti are 100% natural.

As well as enjoying coffee beverages by the cup, many consumers are now looking to take their favorite [sweet coffee flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milano-caramel-caf-au-lait) to go in the form of spill-proof snack bars and spreads.
