Chanukah Hot Cocoa Board

Nov 30, 2020 · Leave a Comment

Hot Cocoa Boards have been super popular on Pinterest this season and I was so inspired but the talented Rebekah Lowin who created a beautiful Chanukah Candy Board, I just had to put the two trends together!

Gather some mugs with hot milk and some whipped cream, of course, and have the coziest night-in by the candle light this Chanukah!

What is a hot cocoa board?

Boards are having a moment, wouldn’t you say? Some boards you may have seen in the last couple of years:

Charcuterie Boards, cheese boards, bagel and lox boards, candy boards, breakfast boards, falafel boards, salad boards… (ok I might be making some of these up as I go along, but bear with me, these are some great ideas) and most recently Hot Cocoa boards!

Basically everything you need to make hot cocoa is arranged beautifully on a board for a stunning display and easy, fun creating!

Chanukah Hot Chocolate

I added a Chanukah twist to my hot cocoa board because there is nothing more cozy than sitting around the Chanukah candlelight with the family and enjoying a hot chocolate made with chocolate coins!

What products do you need to create this board?

Below I list all the (Israeli) products I used to create my Chanukah Hot Cocoa Board. BUT – you don’t need to use these specific ingredients, feel free to follow these basic guidelines for creating your own hot chocolate board:

Guidlines for Hot Chocolate Board

  • Chocolate: I used Chanukah gelt (chocolate coins) in milk chocolate
  • White Chocolate: I used white “mekupelet” or flaky chocolate
  • Chocolate Truffles: I used milk chocolate truffles wrapped in metallic blue wrappers
  • Chocolate Syrup: I used Hershey’s chocolate syrup
  • Marshmallows: I used mini white and blue marshmallows
  • Cookies/Sticks: I used “elite” brand chocolate covered sticks, “maklot” in Hebrew, the regular ones and the “kif-kef” ones and vanilla wafer rolls
  • Chocolate covered pretzels: I used white chocolate “ego” brand
  • Meringue Kisses: I used blue neshikot
  • Chocolate lentils: I used gold covered chocolate lentils

You can use all or any of the items listed above or different variations (milk chocolate covered pretzels instead of white chocolate ones for example).

How to assemble a hot cocoa board?

  1. Gather all your products, a large round or rectangular board and some small bowls.
  2. First decide which items you want to serve in bowls depending on their sizes. Fill those and place them on your board.
  3. Next start with one item, and place it anywhere on the board.
  4. Move around the board and continue adding the items as you see fit. Try and alternate colors, shapes and sizes of the items so that there is variety.
  5. Feel free to place one item more then once (in this photo I have the chocolate coins in two spots) to break it up.

How to serve your hot chocolate board?

I recommend serving your hot cocoa board with some mugs of hot milk and lots of whipped cream!!

How to use your hot cocoa board?

Warm up some mugs of milk in the microwave (one per person) and have each family member choose what they want to add to their hot cocoa. First you need some chocolate, so you can choose the chocolate gelt (coins), white chocolate, chocolate syrup or all three!

Then you can top your mugs with any toppings you like: mini marshmallows, pretzels, wafer sticks etc…

Most importantly, HAVE FUN & make memories!

Looking for more Chanukah treats?!

Try this Bunuelos (Moroccan donuts) recipe passed down to me from my Abuela.

Or these super easy Cinnamon Donut Muffin Recipe from the blog.

Happy Chanukah!

✨Happy Purim!✨ When Purim fall out on a FRYda ✨Happy Purim!✨

When Purim fall out on a FRYday...
🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟

As of yesterday at this time I had no costume plans and was bumming out.

I love Purim, I love coming up with cute / fun costume ideas, running around town looking forward the different components and then hot gluing into the night... ahhh good times 😅🙌🏻

Obviously this year threw me for a loop. But my teens and I put our heads together and scoured Pinterest. My criteria was: EASY, EASY, EASY and cute (and easy!).

So happy we stumbled on this one bc it’s just PERFECT for our family 😂🍟

Wishing you all a *happy* Purim (regardless of the circumstances) and a very happy FRYday 🎉

✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨ WHAT A WEEK (ok ✨Fancy Raspberry Hamentashen✨

WHAT A WEEK (ok two weeks). It’s been pretty rocky for my family and I am so thankful that we are all feeling great now, Thank God.

I appreciate this community so much and all the love and concern and offers of help I got from you all was so touching ❤️ thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I wasn’t sure what Purim would look like for us this year, and to be honest I still don’t know. 

But I do know that hamentashen will be involved bc yum.

I created these hamentashen a few weeks ago when I was working on a valentines video for a client and I came across this amazing raspberry chocolate. It tasted SO good I just knew I wanted it on my hamentashen 🤣

All the deets are up on the blog. If you can’t find this specific chocolate, no worries, you can use ruby chocolate for the pink or even white chocolate! 

Even though I loveeee how these came out (delish!) I think I’m always going to be team classic hamentashen 😅 what about you? Team Fancy or classic?

✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨ My baby is 7 today a ✨Happy Birthday Bébé!✨

My baby is 7 today and you can say I’m having all the feels. 
But the main one is exhaustion (quarantine blah blah blah).

But seriously, as usual this cake was all done today including deciding on the theme 😂 luckily I had red fondant and my friends dropped off balloons and sparklers 🧨.

If you don’t recognize the cake, don’t worry, I don’t either. But Yahav can tell you all about Minecraft and the TNT 🤷🏻‍♀️

Now getting the birthday boy to pose for the photos, that was the real challenge 🤣 check out my stories for a little BTS!

✨Hamentashen✨ {thanks for all the love in my ✨Hamentashen✨

{thanks for all the love in my stories tonight guys!! 💗 let’s distract ourselves from reality for a bit, shall we?}

Woo hoo it’s that time of year again ! Before every holiday I find myself saying “this one is my favorite” 😂 so at least I’m consistent.

There really is something special about each holiday, and Purim is no exception. 

My famous hamentashen recipe is updated and on the blog now! It is the only hamentashen dough recipe you’ll need this season (and ever!). 

Here are a few reasons why:
-no marg.
-no chill
-no OJ
-so quick, easy and DELISH!
-super easy dough to work with
-use any fillings/topping you like
-and did I say it’s delish?

Go on, give it a try and thank me later 😝

Link to the recipe is in my Bio. Or dm me and I’ll send it to you 🙌🏻

✨Shabbat Shalom✨ Ahhhhh I haven’t posted si ✨Shabbat Shalom✨

Ahhhhh I haven’t posted since *last* Friday 🙊

Week 4 of lockdown is behind us and it’s still not clear of the kids will be going back to school next week or not... 

I LOVE having everyone at home, I really do. But it’s been so challenging. How are you all managing? Is it still lockdown where you are? Are you virtual schooling with your kids? 😬

Wishing everyone (including myself lol) a restful and peaceful Shabbat ✌🏻

Recipe for these Nutella sandwich cookies are on the blog - link is in my bio.

✨Garlic Challah✨ ***מתכון בעברית ב ✨Garlic Challah✨
***מתכון בעברית בהמשך***

Super easy way to spruce up ANY challah, including (especially?) bakery challah. 
Garlic, olive oil and parsley 🌿 - mix it all up and brush it on.

Just a heads up- serving size is an entire challah bc it’s so freakin good!

(Recipe in English is on the blog, link in profile)

Shabbat shalom guys ✌🏻

חלה בשום

המצרכים (לחלה אחת):
½ 4 כפיות שמרים יבשים
כף סוכר לבן
2 כוסות מים פושרים
¾ כוס סוכר לבן
½ כוס שמן קנולה
1 ביצה L
קילו קמח לחם
כף מלח ורוד ״הימלאיה דק״

לציפוי:
1 חלמון
1 כף מים
שומשום (אופציונלי)

תוספת שום:
רבע כוס שמן זית
3-4 שיני שום כתוש
פטרוזיליה טריה

אופן ההכנה:
 בקערת מיקסר ערבבו שמרים, סוכר ומים. חכו 5 דקות.
הוסיפו סוכר, שמן, ביצה, קמח ומלח והפעילו את המיקסר על מהירות נמוכה.
אם הבצק דביקי מאוד הוסיפו קצת קמח.
המשיכו לערבב במיקסר לחמש דקות, עצרו ותנו לבצק לנוח 2 דקות.
המשיכו ככה עד לקבלת בצק חלק.
כדררו את הבצק והניחו בקערה משומנת, כסו עם ניילון נצמד ומגבת ותנו לו לתפוח למשך שעה.
אחרי שעה נפח הבצק אמור להיות בערך כפול. לושו את הבצק לחצי דקה, ותנו לו לנוח עוד שעה בערך.
הוציאו את הבצק מהקערה וחלקו אותו ל-4 כדורים שווים. החזירו 3 כדורים לקערה.
חלקו את הבצק שנשאר ל-4 וקלעו צמה. המשיכו עם שאר הבצק.
הניחו את החלות על מגש תנור עם נייר אפייה וכסו עם מגבת לתפיחה אחרונה של 20 דקות.
חממו את התנור ל-180 מעלות.
בקערה קטנה ערבבו חלמון ומים והברישו על החלות.
אפו את החלות למשך 25-35 דקות עד לקבלת צבע זהב.
בקערה קטנה ערבבו שמן, שום ופטרוזיליה.
הברישו את התערובת מעל החלה שיצאה הרגע מהתנור.

✨Tu B’Shvat 🌳✨ For Tu B’Shvat this yea ✨Tu B’Shvat 🌳✨

For Tu B’Shvat this year I wanted to focus on the shivat haminim (7 species) of the land of Israel. And obviously, boards. Bc who doesn’t love a good board?

This Tu B’Shvat board features (almost) all of the shivat haminim including my favorite crackers from @pat_bamelach plus some yummy cheese and dried/fresh fruit.

I also wrote up a blog post tutorial on how you can make your own tu B’Shvat board, so go check it out at the link in my bio.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR TREES 🌳!
