Chocolate letters (you get the first letter of your name or an "S" for Sinterklaas) and pepernoten cookies make up the traditional Sinterklaas treats. The pepernoten are hard, kibble-like gingerbread that, at first taste, don't seem so thrilling but then quickly become addicting. They are small and hard so Zwarte Piet can toss them into the room for children to find. Of course the Dutch skillfully cover everything with chocolate so myriad choices abound.
