Schnecken - Homemade Traditional Jewish Food, the perfect food gift, from The Schnecken Connection, LLC

Welcome to

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. Browse through our web site and read more about "The Schnecken Connection" and how you can order and enjoy our delicious schnecken too!

Here's what those who have sampled our schnecken are saying about!

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!"

We want you to enjoy our schnecken as much as our family and friends, after all that is why we started The Schnecken Connection.

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.
