Chocolate Logs: Zebra, Dark, Truffle, and More

A sliceable centerpiece confection, cut at the table like a small cake rather than eaten from a box. Fames Chocolates makes them in varieties like zebra, dark, truffle, and vanilla nutty halva, all handmade in Brooklyn and dairy-free. One log can headline a dessert spread by itself.

A dense confection made from sesame, beloved across Middle Eastern and Jewish tables and naturally dairy-free. Fames Chocolates folds it into logs and chocolate pairings. One gifting note: halva is sesame-based, so skip it where a sesame allergy is part of the picture.

Slice it into rounds for a platter or wedges alongside coffee, the same way you would a small cake. Guests cut what they want, and one log keeps giving across an evening. It works as dessert and centerpiece in a single purchase.

Hosting-heavy moments: yom tov meals, dinner parties, shiva houses feeding waves of visitors, and offices where one impressive thing beats twenty small ones. Because it is pareve it follows any menu, and because it is unusual it gets remembered longer than a standard box.

Go by the recipient's nostalgia. Halva delights people who grew up with it and adventurous eaters. The chocolate logs, zebra or truffle, play broader for mixed crowds. Undecided? Fames Chocolates makes crossover varieties that pair both, which settles the argument nicely.
