With Rosh Hashanah coming up, we decided to put together a list of our top five choices of treats for the Jewish New Year. It’s customary to eat sweet foods and avoid salty and bitter ones altogether to symbolize hope for a ‘sweet’ New Year! Between these desserts and the obligatory apples dipped in honey, your New Year will be off to a very sweet start indeed.
Treat House, a gourmet crisped rice emporium, is offering a special limited edition Apples and Honey flavor just in time for Rosh Hashanah.
