Parshas Shemos talks about the powerful story of Bnei Yisrael’s journey in Egypt, filled with lessons of resilience, hope, and miracles. What better way to engage kids with the parsha than through delicious, themed desserts? These creative Parshas Shemos dessert ideas will add a meaningful and fun touch to your Shabbos table.
1. Pyramid Rice Krispie Treats
These pyramid-shaped Rice Krispie treats represent the iconic pyramids of Egypt, making them a fun and fitting dessert for Parshas Shemos.
Ingredients:
6 cups Rice Krispie cereal
3 tablespoons butter
1 package marshmallows
Caramel or melted chocolate for drizzling
Instructions:
Make the Mixture: Melt the butter in a large pot and add the marshmallows. Stir until smooth.
Shape the Pyramids: Mix in the Rice Krispie cereal and stir until evenly coated. Let the mixture cool slightly, then mold into pyramid shapes using your hands or a pyramid mold.
Add the Finishing Touch: Drizzle caramel or melted chocolate over the pyramids for a sandy effect.
Why I like it: The combination of crispy cereal, gooey marshmallows, and a caramel drizzle makes this dessert irresistible. Kids will enjoy molding their own pyramids and decorating them with chocolate.
2. Brick Brownies
Make these chocolate brownies symbolize the bricks Bnei Yisrael made during their time of slavery in Egypt.
Ingredients:
Fudge brownie mix or homemade batter
Red frosting or icing
Piping bag or plastic ziplock bag
Instructions:
Bake the Brownies: Prepare the brownie batter and bake in a rectangular pan. Let the brownies cool completely.
Cut into Bricks: Slice the brownies into rectangular pieces.
Decorate the "Bricks": Fill a piping bag with red frosting and draw horizontal and vertical lines to create a brick pattern.
Why I like it: Kids love the rich, chocolatey brownies, and decorating the "bricks" with frosting is a fun, interactive activity that helps them connect to the parsha.
