Lebkuchen Schmidt Premium Elisen Maple Walnut – Lebkuchen of the Year 2026

Celebrate the season with the 2026 Lebkuchen of the Year! Introducing the Lebkuchen Schmidt Premium Elisen Maple Walnut — a luxurious new recipe inspired by the unspoiled landscapes and iconic flavours of Canada. And as Canadians ourselves, we have to admit: maple syrup in Lebkuchen feels like a very good idea. This limited-edition creation combines authentic Nuremberg Elisen Lebkuchen with 16% crunchy walnuts and an additional blend of hazelnuts and almonds for the rich, nutty texture that makes Schmidt Elisen so beloved. The warm sweetness of fine maple syrup pairs beautifully with the slightly earthy flavour of walnuts, creating a festive recipe that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Each biscuit is coated in smooth milk chocolate and finished with half a walnut on top — a simple but elegant finishing touch that hints at the indulgence waiting inside. Whether you’re a longtime Lebkuchen enthusiast or discovering Schmidt’s annual special release for the first time, the 2026 Lebkuchen of the Year is a uniquely Canadian-inspired addition to the Christmas season. → See all the Schmidt Lebkuchen of the Year options here Premium Elisen Maple Walnut 4 biscuits 280 grams (9.87 oz)
