Did you know that Passover represents 40% of annual kosher food sales in America? Isn’t that astonishing?! One week out of 52 makes up 40% of all kosher sales?!
Kosher food manufacturers like the Israeli-based Osem aren’t immune to these incredible statistics. That’s why they have so many new and immensely tempting Kosher for Passover products released every year. Sure, some of these goodies fall into that “Can I do without this?” category of money-saving… but some of them … well, let’s just say they are on my Pesach list this year. 😉
If you’d like to sample some of these new products – and a few tried-and-true ones, too – Osem is giving away TWO gift box goodies filled with full-size samples of the following products:
- OSEM Matzah Freshness Pouch
- 2 boxes of OSEM Matzah – (1) regular and (1) whole wheat
- OSEM gluten-free Passover cake
- Passover BAMBA by OSEM (kitniyot)
- Bissli by OSEM
- a few more little suprises, too!
Two lucky Kosher on a Budget readers will win a delicious Osem Passover Gift Pack.
Do you want to be one of them? You have three ways to enter to win. Be sure to leave separate comments for each way to increase your chances.

My mother makes these passover chocolate “macaroons” that I freeze and eat year round. OMG yummy. Oh, and her passover jellyroll.
My favorite thing is hashachar haole chocolate spread, which I only buy during peach…spread on matzah, it is awesome.

My favorite indulgence is the candy (those sugar covered colored fruit look-a-like slices). While I would never buy them during the year, they bring back such wonderful childhood memories.
My favorite indulgence is homemade KLP ice cream cake using Klein’s KLP ice cream, fresh whipped cream, crushed KLP chocolate cookies and decoration (sprinkles, chocolate sauce etc)

Oddly enough my favorite is the Manischewitz Passover Coffee Cake. I could eat that all the time and find myself wanting it all year long not just for Pesach. I’ve already liked you and subscribed.

My Pesach indulgence has to be whipped butter. During the year, I think butter is kind of gross, but somehow it is delicious on matzah.
Freshness saved for matzah. That is brilliance! Last year I had a stale box, it really stunk to need to run to the store for more during passover.
Mara! I love your blog! I am learning how to coupon and budget and we are already financially getting there! I will tell you all about it once we reach our goal be”H.
Macaroons! Manischewitz macaroons that is! I wait for them all year, my favorite is coconut 🙂

I actually reviewed one of Osem’s Pesach Cakes on my blog yesterday and will be reviewing their Pesach Bisli in tomorrow’s post.
I haven’t seem their Matzah Freshness Pouch here in Israel I have to look more closely for it, I wonder if its an “only export” item being sold only in the USA?
My friend in the USA had sent me an email about it a few days ago but I have yet to see the pouch here.
I also have other Osem reviews coming up before Pesach 🙂

The concept of matzah freshness sounds like an oxymoron to me….

Gotta be chocolate spread! That and chocolate chip meringues, which I make by the ton (about 8 egg whites at a time!)

My favorite passover food is platanos. (Fried plantines). My husband’s Spanish, so our household tradition is to make platanos during Passover. (Oh, and I love eating the beans and rice too!)
I “liked” Kosher on a Budget on Facebook, and I already follow on Twitter AND subscribe to the RSS feed! I love it! =D
I love those disgusting little cake mixes that come with a pan — I know there is nothing remotely healthy or natural about them, but boy howdy, they are good!
I always treat my kids to string cheese and myself to Bisli. This year DH’s treat is BBQ potato chips.

My mother-in-law makes a cake that is to-die-for. It is called an Opera. I have no idea how she makes it. It is a pareve mocha cake with a fake mocha butter cream and a melted chocolate top. That and a homemade cheesecake with a macaroon crust make Pesach oh-so-worth it.
chocolate covered macarrons
Shmura matzo with butter and salt. Mmmm!
1) I always like to buy a KfP pound cake – Messing was my favorite but I haven’t found it recently. I don’t usually get bready-type KfP items, but it reminds me of seders when I was a kid, when we’d get the pound cake each year and have it with whipped cream.
2) I just subscribed recently to KOAB.
matzah and cream cheese
I like the fruit slices in tea. Yum.
I look forward to gefilte fish with spicy horseradish every year.

MARSHMALLOWS! It’s the only time of year I allow myself to spend the extra $$$ for kosher Marshmallows. That and tea believe it or not. I can’t find those Wissotzky fruity flavored teas any other time of year and they make great unsweetened (because they are sweet on their own) iced teas. I buy a ton and stock up for the year. 🙂

Forgot to say that chocolate covered matza is a treat we all enjoy.
I just wanted to add that the chocolate covered matzah was a tradition when my children were growing up. We had a book about a mom going to serve it, but every year a mouse (her children) had eaten it.
I always left a box for them to see so my “mice” could eat ours too!
Matzoh Mouse
The boxes of goodies for Passover have been sitting behind the big chair for weeks now. And every time Sarah goes near them, it gets harder and harder for her to obey the warning on the sides of the boxes. Finally, the temptation becomes overwhelming.
On the first night of Passover, after the Seder and stories and songs are done, the family gathers in the living room for dessert. Sarah’s mother brings out the tray full of sweets, but there is no chocolate-covered matzoh, Sarah’s favorite. If anyone suspects who the Matzoh Mouse was, no one says a thing, until the mischievous conclusion of this gentle and lovely story.
I’ve been fan on facebook for a long time. Love all of your hints. Don’t know where I’d be with out you!
I”m subscribed and get your emails. Thank you for all of the work that you put into this. We all appreciate it so much.
So how am I doing?
Raspberry syrup to mix with seltzer. It’s available all year round, but for some reason we only buy it on pesach.
I’ve already subscribed to the email list and facebook.
My passover indulgence is chocolate. I buy very little “pesach” food, but I do love Israeli chocolate…oh and marshmallows.
I liked you on facebook.
I don’t see any of my comments that I listed earlier. They’re all gone.
Does that mean I have to do this all over again?
Wait, now I see them!
Definitely Almond Kisses. Although they are not as good as when I was a kid, I still buy them.
