Make Edible Dreidels
Nothing represents Hanukkah like the dreidel – especially for treat-hungry kids. This edible craft is fun to make and looks beautiful, too. The kids will love helping you make these delectable treats for your next Hanukkah party, if they don’t devour them all first.
What You Need:
- Large marshmallows
- Pretzel sticks
- Chocolate chips
- Frosting
What You Do:
- Place the marshmallows on a large plate.
- Take a pretzel stick and gently press it into the marshmallow so that half the stick is peeking out the top.
- Place a small dollop of frosting on the bottom of the marshmallow and hold a chocolate chip in place.
- Voila! You have your first edible dreidel. Continue making them until you have enough for everyone!
