There are many good things to eat and we all have our own favorites. For my brother, it is schnecken - my schnecken. Making schnecken is a lot of hard work and although it's my brother's favorite, he won't eat any except mine. I was hoping that when he got married my sister-in-law would have taken over.
That didn't happen, however, so if my brother (and now my niece and nephew) were to contiune to have this wonderful treat, it was up to me to do the baking. My sister-in-law is no dummy, either. She let her friends sample some and concluded that while I was making them for the family, I might was well make them for everyone else to enjoy . . . So we became "the Schnecken Connection !"
Our schnecken are hand-made crescents of sweet flaky, crunchy dough filled with nuts, cinnamon and jelly, rolled in cinnamon and sugar and baked until golden brown - with a slight chewiness from the carmelized sugar and jelly escaping as it is baked.

The ingredients are simple and always quality: flour, eggs, butter, sour cream, sugar, cinnamon, jelly and nuts. I am often asked for the recipe and people are surprised when I tell them there really isn't one.
Our schnecken are a labor of love, each one carefully made by hand. From making and cutting the dough to spreading the filling to creating the small individual crescent shape, it is all done by look and feel.

After a "featured" role in the movie Bird Cage, appearing with an all-star cast including Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, schnecken have become a cultural icon on YouTube.
The clips are from a scene with Nathan Lane and chocolate chip schnecken called: "When the Schnecken Beckons!"

The wisdom of King Solomon is often illustrated by his decision in a child custody dispute by ruling that the baby be cut in half - forcing the parents to come to a more practical solution.
To solve the "dilema" of a minimum order of 1 lb. for each flavor of schnecken, we offer "Solomon's Choice." - you may combine 1/2 lb. of two flavors to create a 1 lb. "minimum."
"A wise choice," says the King.

Dear Friends and Visitors:
Thank you for enjoying our schnecken through your orders throughout the past year. We have had an overwhelming number of orders for the Jewish holidays, special occasions, and now a very busy Chanukah and Winter holiday season. At the moment, it is still just the two of us girls, making everything by hand and baking to order; our baking orders are filled to capacity through New Year’s Eve -- after which we are planning a (well-earned) vacation with our respective families.
We will start accepting orders on February 1, 2010. For those of you who purchase locally from Casel's Supermarket, please check with Howard -- we will be supplying Casel's on a limited basis in January.
For those who have already tasted our schnecken, please try to hang in there –- we know that schnecken-withdrawal can be difficult, but you will be enjoying them again real soon! For those of you who are first-time purchasers, we hope you will stop back again and have the opportunity to enjoy our special treat.
All the best,
The Schnecken Connection, LLC
