Chocolate Seder

It is that time of year again. We are cleaning out the bread and buying the lovely Passover treats. I foresee a lot of Matzah Pizza for dinners next week. A fun way to celebrate the holiday of Passover is to organize a Chocolate Sender! This is a great way to tell the story of Passover with a twist. Everything is chocolate from the chocolate covered matzah to the “wine” (chocolate milk). We found a wonderful and concise Haggadah from reformjudiasm.org [http://www.reformjudaism.org/sites/default/files/articles/files/TheChocolateHaggadah_0.pdf]. A traditional Seder plate consists of egg, maror, lamb shank, karpas, and charoset. Our chocolate Seder consists of these items… only in candy version. For eggs, we found Kinder Chocolate Eggs [https://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Kinder-Surprise-Inside-9-Pack/dp/B00SPJBT8U/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520215947&sr=8-1&keywords=kinder+eggs]. According to the Haggadah mentioned above, sour candies can subsitiute for maror, ice cream drumsticks for the lamb shank, chocolate covered strawberries for karpas, and mixed chocolate for charoset. The cups of wine are substituted with chocolate milk and the washing of the hands is done with chocolate scented hand sanitizer [https://www.amazon.com/Just-Laughs-Sanitizer-Chocolate-Raspberry/dp/B072N3ZPG9/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1520216231&sr=8-4&keywords=chocolate+hand+sanitizer].    The rest of the Seder goes on as a traditional Seder would. I do suggest, when you get to the plagues, have the kids act them out to express the energy that comes with the sugary feast. Chag Pesach Semeach! Has anyone ever organized a chocolate Seder before?
