In this week’s Parsha, Yosef reveals himself to his brothers and Yaakov is told that Yosef is still alive. Yaakov and his extended family journey down to Mitzrayim to see Yosef in the wagons sent by Pharaoh.
To represent Yaakov\’s journey we made little candy carts:

Vayigash – 46:6
1 – Start with chocolate covered marshmallow squares, or any large square candy
2 – Melt about 1/2 cup chocolate chips
3 – Use the melted chocolate to stick 2 mini-Nonpareils on the lower half of the chocolate squares
4 – Once they harden, flip them over and repeat on the other side
5 – Take 2 animal cracker cookies of the same size and stick them together using melted chocolate. Place 2 toothpicks parallel between the cookies so that they are held in place by the chocolate. Leave about 1/2 an inch sticking out behind the animal.
6 – Once all of the chocolate has hardened, stick the ends of the toothpick into the side of the chocolate square

Tip: Make sure the animals feet are lined up evenly with the bottom of the square when you connect it, or your cart wont stand.
