Instructions
- First, push a pretzel into the flat side of the marshmallow, sticking it in as far as you can without puncturing the opposite side.
- Next, spread a small amount of Nutella or frosting onto the base of a chocolate kiss. Use the Nutella as “glue” to attach the kiss to the flat end of the marshmallow.
- At this point, you can use cake decorating gel to write one of the four Hebrew dreidel letters onto the surface of the marshmallow… Nun, Hey, Gimel, ShinHere are the Hebrew letters if you need a guide:
- These letters stand for the Hebrew phrase, Nes Gadol Haya Sham– which means “A great miracle happened there.”Cake decorating gel takes a long time to dry, so give your letters a few hours to set… if your kids can wait that long!
- If you want to add a candy coating to your dreidel instead of the letters, make sure your marshmallow dreidels are prepped and ready to go before you start working with the chocolate. You will need to work quickly while the chocolate is soft. Place the dreidels on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, with at least an inch or two in between each dreidel.
- Once it’s melted, transfer the melted candy coating to a cool bowl. Working quickly, dip your dreidels one-at-a-time into the coating and roll them until the surface is evenly covered.
- As you dip the dreidels, make sure you don’t leave them in the hot candy coating for longer than a few seconds at a time. If you leave it longer, the Hershey kiss will melt and you’ll have a flat-bottomed dreidel.
- Pull the dreidel out of the coating and hold it over the bowl, point side facing downward, for a few seconds to get rid of excess drips.
- Place it on the parchment-lined cookie sheet and coat immediately with sprinkles.
- Once all of your dreidels are coated, let them dry for 15-20 minutes until the candy coating has set. A slight “puddle” will form underneath each dreidel, so it won’t look perfect—but that’s not the point. It will still look dreidel-ish, and it will taste yummy! Have fun!
Notes
- You will also need: parchment paper, cookie sheet (for candy coated dreidels)
