Did you know? 

The Dutch tradition of chocolate letters is a beloved part of the Sinterklaas celebrations, particularly on December 5th, known as "Sinterklaasavond" or "Pakjesavond" (Gift Evening). Each year, it is customary to give and receive chocolate letters that correspond to the first initial of one's name. These letters are often made of high-quality milk, dark, or white chocolate and are typically large and ornate.

The tradition is believed to have originated from the practice of bakers marking loaves of bread with initials to identify them. Over time, this evolved into the giving of chocolate letters, which became especially popular in the 19th century. The letters symbolize the gifts that Sinterklaas brings, and they are usually included as part of a larger package of sweets, often accompanied by poems and other small gifts.

Chocolate letters are not only enjoyed by children but are also a nostalgic treat for adults, often evoking fond memories of childhood. In the weeks leading up to Sinterklaas, chocolate letters are widely available in Dutch stores and are a must-have for the celebrations!
