In this week\’s Parsha Yaakov blesses his sons before he dies. He compares several of them to different animals.
We made lion pops to represent Yehuda who is compared to a lion.
1 – Make peanut butter rice krispie treats
Rice Krispie treats:
1 c peanut butter
1 c corn syrup
1 c sugar
Melt and pour over 5 cups rice krispies. Mix well so all of the rice krispies are evenly coated
2 – While it is still hot, form into balls and stick on skewers. It may seem shaky, but when it dries it should stay in firmly.3 – Once the rice krispie pops have hardened make the peanut butter frosting and pipe the ears and nose onto the balls.
Peanut butter frosting:
1/2 c peanut butter
1 c confectionery sugar
2 tsp hot water4 – Wait until the the frosting hardens before continuing.

5 – Melt about 1 cup of chocolate chips and pipe the eyes and nose details onto the face.
6 – Add a mini pink chocolate lentil for the nose tip. Just pressing it in while the chocolate is still hot should be fine.

Chocolate icing:
1 c confectionery sugar
3/4 c chocolate chips
1/4 c shortening
1/2 c peanut better
