Kosher for Passover chocolatesI got a care package from Sam at Oh! Nuts with some kosher for Passover goodies that my officemates are enjoying. Whatever they don’t gobble up will come with me to Toronto on Wednesday when I visit my in-laws for the holiday. As you recall, I was recently looking for kosher for Passover candy, and certainly found a source for it. In total, Sam sent me four packages:

  • Chocolate-covered nougat (shown in picture)
  • Assorted jellies (yum – especially good for Tori, who can’t stay away from jellies!)
  • A bag of hard candies
  • Assorted lollipops

Sam is a great guy. Not only does he have great products, but he is very generous. Thanks, Sam, from the NCA office and from the Axelrad family in Toronto, who will enjoy these very soon!

CandyI have had a heck of a time trying to find candy that was kosher for Passover to bring when I visit my inlaws in a couple weeks. Kosher, sure. That’s easy. In fact, you can find many regular candies that are kosher, certified by one organization or another, at your supermarket you go to every week. Kosher for Passover is another story. You can read a bit about what kosher for Passover means just for our homes. Can you imagine what it would mean for a factory that makes food products?

I Twittered my friend Sara from PopJudaica.com about where to turn for some good treats and she suggested Oh Nuts, which has kosher for Passover candy and chocolate. It’s like a struck a goldmine of great products in one place. Of course, Oh Nuts doesn’t have the matzah tie I have been hoping some loyal reader might buy for me (email me for the shipping address), but it is a great store nonetheless.
