They’re usually just gold-foiled chocolate coins but I always try to find Disney ones if I can. Even easier? Simply decorating the serving trays of your cookies by using Disney chocolate coins (gelt), which is a fun Hanukkah treat. You can decorate them on the tops with icing by creating hidden Mickeys around the edges. I take the easy way out: simple sugar cookie, use a dreidel cookie cutter and decorate it Disney-style. Whether you shape them into Mickey silhouettes or not, either way will remind you of Disney. The best filling in my opinion is Nutella! Sufganiyot (soof-gaa-nee-owt), a fried doughnut, is our fried sweet recipe, as the latkes were our fried savory choice. I love eating them at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter. Traditional jelly doughnuts can be given a Disney spin with our favorite beignets. Serve with applesauce or sour cream in your Disney serving cups and on your Mickey serving trays! Follow Deni’s Saturday Snacks! The frozen latke will hold the Mickey shape. Tip: fill your mixture halfway into the cookie cutter and freeze it on a baking sheet for 20 minutes prior to placing it in the oil. Take your traditional latke recipe and easily create the Mickey silhouette by using a Mickey Mouse cookie cutter. Use the leftovers into challah french toast for a family Sunday brunch on the last day of Hanukkah!
My advice is following Deni’s Saturday Snacks blog, because why reinvent the wheel? Have some fun with it and roll the dough out into a menorah instead of a braided traditional challah. Adding it to your Hannukah Sabbath (Chanukah Shabbat) meal Friday night and Saturday is the perfect Disney recipe. This day would be a perfect day for making your Kronk’s Challah recipe.
And while you’re cooking or baking, why not play some Disney music in the background or play a classic Disney movie to get you in that winter/holiday mood? We also love to display our symbols, the menorah and dreidel. The key to Hanukkah (Chanukah) recipes is two choices: sweet or savory. Yes, that would be Thanksgiving weekend as the eight-day start date! So put the turkey away on Black Friday and get out your oil and sugar, here we go! Hanukkah will be celebrated this year beginning November 28 th (evening) through December 6 th. Making these recipes will bring the magic of Disney and Hanukkah to your holiday home. Light up your Hanukkah and infuse some Disney magic at home with these traditional recipes, Disney-style.
