Kiddush
FIRST GLASS OF CHOCOLATE MILK
Blessed art thou, Eternal our G-d, ruler of the universe, creator of the cocoa beans of the tree.
Blessed art thou, Eternal our G-d, ruler of the universe, who chose us from among all members and exalted us among all chapters by giving us this holy confection.
With pleasure you gave us this festival for enjoyment, as on this day – the Feast of Chocolate, the season of bondage (to the soap) – you have chosen us to remember chocolate the way it was.

THE STORY OF CHOCOLATE
HA LACHMA: This is the chocolate of affliction that our forefathers sued all over the world. All who have a craving, let them come and eat (because after a little of this, you could get sick!). All who are needy –they don’t need this. Now, we are here. Hopefully next year we will be in Hershey or Nestlé’s parks. Now, we are thin. Next year, if we eat all that is planned, we will be fat.
Four Questions
WHY IS THIS NIGHT DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER NIGHTS?
1) On all other nights, we either eat peanut butter, chocolate, or a combination of both. A little peanut butter, a little chocolate. On this night, why only chocolate?
2) On all other nights, we eat any kind of chocolate (Hershey, Willy Wonka, Nestle, etc.). On this night, why only Hershey or Nestle?
3) On all other nights, we don’t even have chocolate milk. Why do we now?
4) On all other nights, we eat complete, well-balanced meals. Why do we eat only dessert and snack items for dinner tonight?
The Answer
Because for many years you have all participated in Sedarim in your house and model Sedarim in your religious schools. And on this occasion in honor of this Shabbat’s dedication to holidays, we wanted to (re)create a program that would parallel a Seder and provide you with a creative and unique experience about the Pesach holiday.

MAKE AND EAT S’MORES
As a reminder if those many nights camping around the fire when our bellies were full of candy and soda, and we ate more anyway, we eat this sandwich.

DRINK FOURTH CUP OF MILK
I am ready to fulfill the commandment of drinking the last cup of the four cups. This recalls G-d’s promise to the people of Israel. As it says, “Drink milk with chocolate so you will not be thirsty as you were before we entered the land flowing with milk and honey”.
Now the Chocolate Seder is completed. Every custom was fulfilled and parallel to the real thing. You are pure, dwelling on high. Raise your chocolate-less people. Soon lead the thirsty to Candy Land. NEXT YEAR IN HERSHEY PARK!
