A Passover Tradition Continues Dark Chocolate Seder Plates to Benefit Women of Fairmount Temple Sisterhood The vision of making chocolate Seder plates began with an idea from Fairmount Temple member Peg Behrens, 25 years ago. She saw a mold of a Seder plate, filled it with chocolate and adorned it with symbols of the Passover holiday. She brought her Seder plate to a Fairmount Temple Sisterhood meeting, and the ladies loved it. At first, she made them to give away. Then she thought they would make a good fundraising project. Over the years, Behrens single-handedly made hundreds of plates and contributed all money raised to the sisterhood. Today, Women of Fairmount Temple carry on the tradition as a fundraising project. Each plate has a little over a pound of high-quality dark chocolate, with the symbols made from colored chocolate. Seder plates are completely nut free and sell for $20 each. Seder Plate orders must be received by April 8. Pick-up dates in the Gift Shop are Tuesday, April 12 from 9 am to noon; and Sunday, April 17, from 9 am to noon.
