Haroset with a Twist

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
An upscale candy shop has put an unusual spin on a standard Passover confection. Vosges Haut-Chocolat has taken chocolate-covered matzo to the next level with its Charoset Matzo — bits of matzo topped with dried apples, nuts, honey and spices, covered in dark chocolate. This is not the first time that Vosges has cooked up something curious: Other products include chocolate pigs filled with smoked bacon, and dark chocolate Easter bunnies made with Mexican chilies and Ceylon cinnamon.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
