Aimee,
My husbands parents immigrated from Holland when they were in their early 20's. Speculaas is one of my husbands most FAVORITE treats! We usually buy them from a dutch bakery in San Jose and have them shipped to us. Now I can SURPRISE him with homemade speculass! Thanks so much for the awesome recipe. Tracy
