Since my kids were little, we’ve taken to the kitchen each Hanukkah to create marshmallow dreidels. It is so easy and fun! Turns out the tradition has continued even now that my kids are young adults. Not only are they fun to make and delicious to eat, but they also make a great dessert display at our annual Hanukkah party!
Marshmallow Driedels
Marshmallows form the dreidels’ bodies, chocolate kisses serve as the tips, and pretzel sticks act as the knobs. A quick dip in melted white or milk chocolate provides a surface for colorful sprinkles.
Ingredients:
One bag of marshmallows
One bag of thin pretzel sticks
One bag of Hershey’s Kisses
One package white chocolate chips
One package milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
Assorted Sprinkles
Directions:
Line a baking sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
Using a separate microwave-safe bowl for each type, melt the chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Remove from heat.
Spear each marshmallow with a pretzel stick, making sure it goes about 3/4 of the way into the marshmallow. Using the pretzel stick as a handle, dip one of your treats into the chocolate so that it is completely coated. Adhere a Hershey’s Kiss to the other end of the marshmallow. Place on lined baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles.
Put the marshmallow dreidels in the fridge for 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
