This Thanksgiving America’s favorite holiday will come face to face with the world’s favorite Jewish holiday – Hanukkah – this encounter gives us, Thanksgivukkah! This is a once in a lifetime holiday that won’t happen again for another 70,000 years so let us celebrate in grand fashion. This November 28th American Jews are invited to the table to tell their stories of rooted gratitude and thanks. Not sure about all of you, but we cannot wait for this once-in-a-lifetime convergence of holidays. In planning for the festivities we’ve put together some Holiday menu mash-ups we thought we’d share.
These potato latkes with cranberry-apple sauce are a Hannukah classic with a Thanksgiving element, earning them a place on the Thanksgivukkah table.

No Thanksgiving meal is complete without its centerpiece and main attraction – the turkey. But this is not just any Thanksgiving. So we have found a recipe that takes a pretty traditional bird, with one twist: It’s brined in Manizchewitz, a super-sweet kosher wine. Follow the step-by-step directions here.
This creamy butternut squash is roasted and pureed with honey, chipotle and smoked paprika. This medley of flavors creates a side dish that will have your guests asking for more.
A traditional Jewish pastry, Rugelach fun and easy to make for any holiday. We add pumpkin filling to this recipe for a Thanksgiving twist.
Of course, no family table is complete without our family tradition. We hope you will bring Papa Ben’s Mandelbroyt to your table wherever you are celebrating this year. Four this unique holiday, try our most popular and most unique flavor, the Spicy Chipotle with Ginger and Dark Chocolate. It is not too spicy, but has a nice little kick at the end after the sweet dark chocolate and delicious candied ginger. Indulge in our family tradition and make it a new one of yours!
With a couple weeks to spare, you have plenty of time to start planning your Thanksgivukkah feast. We hope we shared some inspiring ideas with you and we can’t wait to hear about your creative favorites for this special holiday.

These delicious cookies maybe Papa Ben’s recipe, but it was his wife Jean, daughter Gail, and granddaughter Jenica that turned it into a business.
