- Decorate the body of the marshmallow with mini M&Ms or sprinkles—use the icing as “glue.” You can even use icing or edible markers to write a Nun, Shin, Gimmel, and Hey on each side of the marshmallow. It is customary for dreidels to have these four letters on them. It stands for “Nes gadol haya sham,” meaning “A great miracle happened there.”
- Slices of bread
- Cream cheese or peanut butter
- Thin pretzel sticks
- Raisins, craisins, or chocolate chips
- Spread slice of bread with either cream cheese or peanut butter
- Take 10 mini pretzels and make a menorah on the slice of bread. Place one pretzel horizontally on the bread for the base of the menorah. Then place nine pretzels vertically on top of the base to represent the candles. The middle candle is the “Shamash” candle and should be placed higher than the other 8 candle pretzels.
- On top of the pretzels, you can place either raisins, craisins, or chocolate chips to represent the candle flames.
