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.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
