Eggnog, gingerbread, candy canes… It’s starting to sound a lot like Christmas. Now, while I enjoy my peppermint bark Godiva as much as the next girl, sometimes I just want to embrace my Jewish heritage and enjoy a holiday-themed snack at the same time. Many think that Chanukah celebrations should solely include latkes, menorah lighting and maybe even a little chocolate gelt. However, I am here to tell you that these people are just wrong. All you need to do is gather a few simple ingredients and you can make your own sweet and salty snack that won’t get you shunned from your local temple.

Pro tip: If you love a sweet and salty combination as much as I do, you’ll make the most out of your materials by dipping your leftover pretzels in frosting.
