Seriously, I've been in Israel during Krembo season and always commenting to friends and dinner guests about how wonderful it is to have a seasonal processed candy treat. Mallomars and Krembo in a way take us back to a more primitive/sustainable food market ideal when we can't always get what we want. This is a great lesson, especially for kids. It also helps sell these treats. I was having trouble finding good season comparisons to Krembo in the US and I thank you for helping me think of the Mallomar and the Creme Egg.
