Edible Menorah
This is a quick, fun food craft that is also delicious to eat.
Ingredients
(for one menorah)
5 two-bite brownies (you can make your own, if you’d like, using your favourite brownie recipe and a mini-muffin tin)
6 sandwich cookies
9 small orange jelly beans (or red – these are your flames, so you choose)
Icing (store-bought is fine, or you can just make a paste with icing sugar and a few drops of milk or water)
9 toothpicks
A cardboard rectangle – about 11 inches by 3 inches (this can be cut from a shoe box, or any other box)
Tin foil – enough to completely cover the cardboard so that your menorah base is silver
1.Using icing as glue, stick the five sandwich cookies to your tinfoil base. You can place them in a row, or curve them – your choice.
2.Decide which cookie will hold your shamash (centre or at one side). Then icing glue an extra cookie onto your shamash cookie so that the shamash will be elevated.
3.Icing glue a two-bite brownie onto each sandwich cookie. These are your candle holders.
4.Stick a toothpick into each jelly bean. These are your candles. Then put one toothpick candle into your shamash candle holder and two into each of the other candle holders.
5.Take a moment to admire your lovely menorah before you and your friends gobble it up!
