    Have you eaten them?

    Serious question please: How is this a treat?

    Aren’t dried (not raw) lentils non-food (they must be cooked or sprouted)?

    Plus that’s a lot for a mouth full of teeth to chew up (so make sure that you only chew it without teeth).

    Thank you

    Chocolate lentils are not lentils, they are like M&Ms.

    Chocolate lentils are just candies — they call them that because they’re shaped like lentils and they can’t say “m&m’s”, not because they have lentils.

    Rewind…. Just realized that chocolate lentils are not chocolate covered lentils (in my defense they seriously look like they are and I guess that’s why they seriously called them that).

    Btw chocolate lentil brownies look really good

    Unlike M&M’s, they are pareve. At least most of the time, if not all the time. I don’t know if they make them milchiks, but if they do, I probably wouldn’t call them “chocolate lentils”; I would probably call them “Cholov Yisrael M&M’s” or “Cholov Yisrael Reese’s Pieces”.

    Speaking of which, can anyone explain to me why no one has yet invented Cholov Yisrael Peanut Butter Cups? Someone I know made them once, and they tasted as good as the real stuff, so there’s no excuse.

    If someone were to do that, there would probably be a tremendous market for it, and I would probably start keeping Cholov Yisrael since there would no longer be a reason not to.

    Dearest LU: Today is your lucky day!

    Google “cholov yisroel peanut butter cups”

    The first result in my search is a link to a store that sells just that ~ Cholov Yisroel Peanut Butter Cups

    AKA *Gourmet Dairy Peanut Butter Cups* (Cholov Yisroel)

    “This product is approved Kosher by the Star-K-Dairy Cholov Yisroel”

    Now imho, the cost factor may be an issue at $35. Dunno about shipping to EY. Still it makes for a very special gift 🙂

    If everyone in the CR chipped in a nickel, we could get some for LuL.

    Just realized that chocolate lentils are not chocolate covered lentils

    Next you’ll be telling me that jelly beans aren’t beans and that Kit Kats aren’t made out of felines.

    YY: I’m down. Even would do a quarter at least 🙂

    Wolf: Grrrness. Sorry this whole “chocolate lentils” thing is new to me. I went to a Kosher candy site and saw them. Chocolate lentils. I figured that it’s like Chocolate almonds. Or Chocolate cherries.

    Do I really need to explain? Obviously not. I don’t have to defend myself for believing something was a real thing. At least I am open-minded and can imagine it being a real thing.

    I lived in a very vegan world before too… so it’s pretty normal to hear of healthy and yet odd food combinations.

    Anyway. Thanks.

    YY – great idea! I’ll look out for a mishloach manos of peanut butter cups from the CR on Purim.

    Hokey smoke, Bullvinkleoyehvich. I just realized that chocolate matzah is not really matzah, and I’ve been doing seders wrong for 50 years.

    So, if it is foolish to think that chocolate covered lentils contain real lentils, does that extend to chocolate covered ants?

    Chocolate matzah is chocolate covered matzah.

    So that’s partially true.

    Matzah … half glass half full

    Ew I really wish I didn’t Google chocolate ants.

    Anyone have a mind eraser?

    At least I knew that turtle chocolates aren’t turtles

    > Ew I really wish I didn’t Google chocolate ants.

    LOL. So, I guess that delicacy won’t appear in any of your shaloch manos deliverables. Good thing this thread came up a few weeks before Purim. 🙂
