What is Noodle Kugel?
Noodle kugel is a traditional Jewish noodle dish that is commonly served on Shabbat and on holidays. Kugel can be served as aside dish, a casserole, or even as a dessert. It’s all about the flavors and consistency you put together with your Noodle Kugel. This Chocolate Noodle Kugel at first glance seems like a side dish because of the noodles, but with a dark chocolate, sweet taste, you will certainly want to add it as part of your dessert menu.
