Menorah Waffles
“My daughter Kipper loves a special breakfast, and she loves Chanukah, so I was guaranteed a warm reception if I could pull this off. However, being not really (read ‘not at all’) a morning person, I needed to come up with something really easy.” – Helen

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Hanukkah Gelt Cookies
“I made a melt-in-your-mouth cookie dough – with cream cheese in it, of course. And then I press a hanukkah coin right into the middle of it. How adorable is that?” – Miriam
Hanukkah Oreo Cookie Balls
“OREO Cookie Balls are the perfect family-friendly recipe. Plus, when we were at Walmart the other day, and I spotted the OREO Cookies, I knew we had to make something. OREO Cookie Balls are incredibly simple to make, and your kids can help every step of the way.” – Lexi
Candy Dreidels
“Here’s a fun way to get your kids into the Hanukkah spirit! This idea was inspired by Jewish cooking legend Joan Nathan; the original version of these dreidels appeared in her book The Children’s Jewish Holiday Kitchen. I modified her idea slightly, using a pretzel for the dreidel’s handle and Nutella as a ‘glue’ to hold the marshmallow and kiss together.” – Tori
Hanukkah Bark
“We love making Christmas bark, so we thought making a variation for Hanukkah would be fun. This recipe uses the same ingredients that are used in any chocolate bark recipe, but it’s executed in blue and white in honor of Hanukkah.”
Hanukkah Pinwheel Cookies
“It’s almost Chanukah! Or is that Hanukkah? Who’s up for a cookie exchange featuring these Hanukkah Pinwheel Cookies? I love trading cookies at the holidays and my grandmother’s old fashioned icebox pinwheel cookies are a tried and true classic.” – Ciaran
