Elisen Gingerbread Bites – assorted

Hatzel Elisen Lebkuchen Confectionery – with two types of chocolate

Handmade Hatzel Elisen Lebkuchen Confectionery, 6 pieces with milk chocolate or dark chocolate coating in a gift bag, from the Hatzel Lebkuchen Patisserie in the Fichtel Mountains, baked according to Grandfather Hatzel's recipe. Here's a little secret: many aromatic hazelnuts and crunchy almonds form the base, finest marzipan and an elaborate mixture of candied citrus peels provide sophistication, and the secret family spice blend rounds off the flavor.

The Hatzel brothers have packed six small pieces of handmade Elisen Lebkuchen, coated with fine milk chocolate and melt-in-your-mouth dark chocolate couverture, into a gift bag and tied it with a dark red, elegant ribbon, making it the ultimate gingerbread gift. For all who love this little delicacy or want to give it as a gift.

Hatzel Lebkuchen – Handmade with Tradition

Master confectioner Lorenz Hatzel founded a confectionery with an adjoining café in Selb's Ludwigstraße in 1928. Even then, he produced extremely tasty Elisen Lebkuchen according to his own recipe, purely by hand. His son, master confectioner Martin Hatzel, took over the business, which he in turn passed on to his sons, master confectioners Christian Hatzel and Michael Hatzel, who now run the Lebkuchen manufactory with great passion.

Since its founding, the Hatzel family has lived and worked in the beautiful Fichtel Mountains and, in the third generation, produces handmade Elisen Lebkuchen according to Lorenz Hatzel's original recipe on his old hand-spreading machine, which applies the sticky dough with extra many almonds and nuts to the wafer.

Masterful confectionery art, pure craftsmanship, and recipes passed down through generations form the basis for baking the delicious Hatzel Elisen Lebkuchen. The traditional tools used in the bakery still include copper kettles, whisks, wooden spoons, rolling pins, dough scrapers, and all the tried and tested tools from decades ago.
