Kruidnoten (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈkrœytnoːtə(n)]) are a cookie-like confectionery, traditionally associated with the early December Sinterklaas holiday in the Netherlands.

The term kruidnoten is often confused with pepernoten.[1][2] Kruidnoten, which translates to "spice nuts" in English, are harder, have a different colour and shape, and are made with the same ingredients as speculaas.[3]

Another variety of kruidnoten, called chocolade-kruidnoten, are covered in either dark, milk, or white chocolate.[4]
