Krembo Season is Here
According to Wikipedia the “Krembo” was invented in Denmark some 200 years ago. The Israeli version was popular as a homemade concoction in Mandate Palestine. In 1966 the biscuit and cream sweet was first massed produced by the Whitman company taking the name Krembo – a combination of the words krem (cream) and bo (in it).

The Krembo season runs from October to February and some 50 million Krembos are sold each year…that’s an average of 9 person in Israel. Obviously someone else is eating our family’s share because we do not consume 9 per family member.
The Krembo is sweet (very sweet) and one per year is probably enough.
The City Mouse weekly just published 5 Krembo recipes created by well known Tel Aviv chefs. In Hebrew, sorry.
