Recipes for small, sweet noshes for passing around after dinner--or for mailing in care packages.
Halvah
A delicious, nutty-tasting sweet made of sesame seed paste (tahini) and other flavorings. Making this nosh is a bit involved--you'll need a candy thermometer and some patience.
Israeli Chocolate-Coated Orange Peels
While these delicious noshes that are commonly found in stores around Passover time, they are wonderful year-round! They are especially good when made with fresh Jaffa oranges.
Israeli Sum-Sum (Sesame) Cookies
Simple cookies with nutty flavor. Made with olive oil rather than butter.
Mandelbrodt
Cousins to the Italian biscotti, these delightfully crispy almond cookies have a satisfying crunch and are easy to make.
New York Black and White Cookies
These cakelike, sugary-coated cookies are a New York favorite.
