Happy Online Hanukkah

Whether you're decorating, preparing for a holiday meal, or buying gifts, we found sites with a great selection.

Fabulous Food

Frying latkes or sufganiyot is as much a part of Hanukkah as lighting the menorah. But one cannot live by potato pancakes or Israeli doughnuts alone. We found kosher noshes of all kinds in abundance, from babka to brisket. While you are making memories with the little Maccabees, you can heat up some heavenly hors d'oeuvres or point the dreidel mavens toward some gourmet chocolates.

BHG.com does not endorse the sites listed below, nor have we vetted their service capabilities.

eBabka.com

Babka, strudels and rugelach baked daily at Aunt Heddy's Bakery in Brooklyn. Need we say more? The 14-ounce chocolate babka ($5.95) is so good it certainly won't last eight days; we give it eight minutes, tops.

 
The Ethnic Epicure

Challah bread is a tasty and
traditional Hanukkah food.

You could stock an entire kosher kitchen from the assortment of goodies here. For a tasty holiday snack, start with Challah ($1.99) and bagels ($1.89 for 6), some corned beef and pastrami ($13.49 for 1lb., each), and top it off with Batampte deli mustard ($1.39)-all you have to do is make the eggcream.

 
Kosher Club

Here's a club you'd be proud to be a member of-there's no membership fee and the food is great! All your favorite kosher brands and foods are here like Kineret's yummy Frozen Mini-Latkes ($2.99 for 24 oz.) and Frozen Potato Latkes ($2.99 for 24 oz.) or Empire's delicious Frozen Triangle Latkes with Onions ($1.99 for 24 oz.).

Beautifully molded chocolates and truffles from Le Chocolat. Put on the Perelman and open the chocolate molded violin filled with chocolates ($70, large)--it's almost too beautiful to eat.

 
Omaha Steaks
