Recipe: Edible Dreidel
Ingredients:
– Marshmallows
– Pretzel sticks
– Blue candy melts (or blue chocolate)
– White icing or frosting
– Assorted sprinkles or edible decorations
Instructions:
1. Begin by securing a pretzel stick into the center of a marshmallow, making sure it is stable and upright. Repeat this step for each dreidel you plan to make.
2. Melt the blue candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth and well combined.
3. Holding the pretzel end of the marshmallow, carefully dip the marshmallow into the melted blue candy coating, ensuring that it is completely coated. Allow any excess to drip off before placing it on parchment paper to set.
4. While the candy coating is still wet, add your desired sprinkles or edible decorations to the dreidel. Get creative with designs or add a pop of color to make each one unique.
5. Allow the dreidels to set completely before moving on to the next step. This will ensure that the candy coating hardens and your decorations stay in place.
6. Once the candy coating has hardened, use white icing or frosting to create the Hebrew letters nun, gimel, hey, and shin on each dreidel. These letters represent the phrase “Nes Gadol Haya Sham,” which translates to “a great miracle happened there.”
7. Allow the icing to set before handling the dreidels to prevent smudging the lettering.
8. Serve your Edible Dreidels on a decorative platter or individually wrap them in cellophane bags for gifting. These treats make perfect party favors or sweet additions to your holiday dessert table.
Get ready to impress your guests with these adorable and tasty Edible Dreidels that are sure to bring joy and festive cheer to your Hanukkah celebration. Enjoy the process of creating these delightful treats as much as you will enjoy sharing and savoring them with your loved ones. Wishing you a happy and sweet holiday season filled with delicious moments shared around the table!
