קרמבו Krembo


You know it's winter in Israel when Krembo pops up in the stores.

What is Krembo? Krembo is a delicious cookie, marshmallow, chocolate combination conveniently wrapped in blue foil and ready for immediate consumption. Krembo season is very short (only 4 months) but nevertheless 50 million are sold each year in Israel (Wikipedia article above).

I can't help but get one most times I go to the grocery store. They are just too gooey, yummy and fun to pass up. For only 2 shekels, you can give yourself a quick sugar boost and a smile. It reminds me somewhat of a smore, but without the bonfire and hot marshmallow. Next time you're in Israel in the winter, definitely pick one up!

Sounds just like a mallomar....too bad we have to buy a whole box! But it does make it easier to avoid temptation. I hope you're working out a lot!
