The one to send when you don’t know which flavor they’ll love. Four pouches of MandelBites (Chocolate-Chip, Almond, Confetti, and Gluten-Free Chocolate-Chip) plus two Chocolate-Chip Mandel Bread Two-Packs, our whole lineup in one gift box. A Hanukkah gift, a Rosh Hashanah table, a thank-you, or a care package that lasts, since everything is shelf-stable for 90 days. Serves 8. As featured in The Denver Post and Westword.
Grandma Jeanne measured this recipe in handfuls and baked it for most of her 102 years, and she never showed up anywhere without a tin of it. Her great-grandson Jake and his mom Victoria bake it the same way in Denver, Colorado: hand-formed, hand-sliced, and twice-baked, softer than biscotti with a delicate crunch outside. Her photo is on every bag, because this box is the closest thing to her kitchen we can ship.
Kosher-style, not certified. Our mandel bread is made with oil rather than butter, as it traditionally is, but some flavors contain dairy and our Denver kitchen is not under rabbinical supervision. Honest food, honestly labeled.

Mandel Bread Handcrafted Over Four Generations
Mandel Bread Handcrafted Over Four Generations
It started with Grandma Jeanne, who baked her mandel bread by the handful and lived to 102. Her recipe passed through four generations before her great-grandson Jake began baking it in a rented kitchen in Bloomington, Indiana, to send to friends and family. Today Jake and his mom Victoria run Lazar Family Bakehouse, a small-batch bakery in Denver, Colorado, and Jeanne's photo is on every bag. Everything ships nationwide as a ready-to-give gift box.
Mandel bread, also called mandelbrot, is a twice-baked Jewish cookie with roots in Eastern Europe. Ours is softer and lighter than biscotti, made with oil rather than butter the traditional way, hand-sliced, and kosher-style (not certified). Perfect with coffee, tea, or on its own.
MandelBites are our bite-sized take on the original, in four flavors: Chocolate Chip, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip, Almond, and Confetti. We also make classic Chocolate Chip Mandel Bread Two-Packs, the single-sitting size hotels put next to the coffee bar. Everything is shelf-stable, which makes it an easy Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, holiday, or thank-you gift from Colorado.
Five percent of our profits goes to food-focused charities, because Jeanne never showed up anywhere empty-handed.
