Haroset with a Twist

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.

A message from our CEO & publisher Rachel Fishman Feddersen

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning, nonprofit journalism during this critical time.

The coming year promises to be filled with more complex and historic developments. We are entering an era where independent, fact-based Jewish journalism will be more important than ever. We need to be ready for whatever 2025 will bring, and with your help, we can be.

We’ve set a goal to raise $260,000 by December 31. That’s an ambitious goal, but one that will give us the resources we need to invest in the high quality news, opinion, analysis and cultural coverage that isn’t available anywhere else.

If you feel inspired to make an impact, now is the time to give something back. Join us as a member at your most generous level.
