Speculaas...
It is thought that the Dutch name Speculaas comes from the latin 'speculum' that means mirror.
Traditionally speculaas biscuits are the mirror image of the carved wooden moulds they are baked in.
Windmill shaped speculaas biscuits are known throughout the whole world, as are male or female speculaas figurines.
These days speculaas biscuits can take any shape or form. But you can do so much more with speculaas spice than just making biscuits.

Louise's vandotsch speculaas spiced marshmallows
Research psychologist turned cake designer, Cotswolds-based Louise loves food, is a self-confessed ‘sweet-aholic’ and, in addion, bakes a lot. According to Louise, sometimes things don’t work out, but when her bespoke cakes and other kitchen exploits do they end up at her blog Crumbs and Corkscrews.
Although Louise made these “squishy, bouncy marshmallows rippled with a sticky and sweet caramel, tinged with the warm and spicy vandotsch speculaas spice in the middle of the summer" according to Louise "they are absolutely perfect for an autumn sweet treat curled up with a mug of hot chocolate or for Halloween or Bonfire night.”
I'll take your word for that and try them out myself, one of these days.
What follows is an overview of the ingredients that Louise used to make her vandotsch speculaas spiced marshmallows, including:
