Pepernoten, or kruidnoten if you are being precise, are small crunchy biscuits spiced like speculaas. In the Netherlands and Flanders they come out in autumn for Sinterklaas on 5 December, thrown around the room by the handful.
A handful is about 115 kcal, with 18 g of carbs, 4 g of fat and 1 g of protein.
They are small enough that a bag empties itself. The chocolate coated ones are a step up from the plain.
Tips
- 1Pour a handful into a small bowl and put the bag away.
