julia roberts had individual ganesha-shaped chocolate cakes at her wedding...

'masala goodness' might one day inspire me to create a desi line of my own : chili dark chocolate filled with bhel puri; fermented rice (i.e. idli) power bars with a chutney centre; corn-flavoured white chocolate with a saag nougat. the list can go on and on....

Derick (#14) and penguin (#15), it was word for word, barring a couple of typos.

Perhaps Kaavya Viswanathan got an internship at the candy company.

Hi Uma, how’s it going? Gah. I can’t believe they printed your exact copy. Go get them!

If one can imagine it, there is a website for it. For Halloween, I also posted chocolate Aum in the aum blog that I maintain. There is of course, Om Organics and H2Om water and Om Cakes! Nourish your soul and by nibbling on the Om, you nourish your body too!

I don't know about that. Kids seem to prefer chocolate over mithai for whatever reason. It's only once they grow up thus the light shine through

Love the chocolate Om's, as did our guests at the wedding. We had tons of mithai but we also had special engraved chocolate Om's with our names on them in our favor bag and not a single favor bag was left behind. There was however tons of Mithai left!!!

"Testamints" are so incredibly, unbelievably lame. So are "old-fashioned Scripture mints." Kids don't want breath mints, they want CANDY, fer crying out loud!
Chocolate Om vs. Testamint = clear victory for Hinduism.

The chocolate Ganesh is awesome! Unfortunately, at $29.99 a pop, I'd go broke on Halloween with the number of kids who come to my door. We do have a Kali-Ma jack-o-lantern this year, though, which looks fabulous.
