Chanukkah Treats

Chanukkah is just about a week away!! Are you ready? I'm not but thankfully, like Shabbat, it comes anyway!

Here's a tasty treat to add to those party platters this year! Your gluten free friends will thank-you for them I am sure!

Start off by making a batch of rice krispie squares. Of course make sure to use kosher marshmallows!

*If you live in the boonies like we do and don't have ready access to purchase kosher marshmallows but have some kosher gelatin on hand you can make your own: http://dancingtotherhythm.blogspot.ca/2012/08/kosher-marshmallows.html

Let the squares harden up and cut them into Chanukkah shapes with a knife (or cookie cutters if you happen to be so lucky!...I wasn't).

Use whatever you'd like to decorate them with. Really anything goes. For these I just used melted chocolate. To pipe it on don't bother with a fancy piping bag (they are a pain to clean!). Grab a plastic sandwich bag and cut a fine tip off the corner. Just make sure that if you use chocolate you let it cool a bit before putting into the bag and also that the bag is thick enough it isn't going to bust when put under pressure....cause that just sucks.... Milk bags are actually toughest!

As you may have noticed...
I made the attempt last year to colour some of mine blue...I wouldn't recommend this, they came out looking more greeny, seafoamy blue than Chanukkah blue....so there I warned you. If you go colouring yours don't say I didn't warn you!
