I love Gimbal's Fine Candies Black Licorice Scottie Dogs, which is why I've just got to share this old-fashioned candy company's 2016 Holiday Sweepstakes with readers. If you've never tasted these chewy black treats, you should know that these don't just come in cute Scottie Dog shapes, they are the best all natural licorice candy I've ever tasted.

Gimbal's Scottie Dogs are a holiday tradition for many, both those who celebrate Christmas and Hanukkah (yes, all Gimbal's candies are certified kosher OU parve). Plus, the entire confection line has no high-fructose corn syrup and is allergen-free since all ingredients are peanut free, tree nut free, dairy free, gluten free, soy free, and egg free. With a candy company that caters to so many types of dietary restrictions, it's a really good thing you can buy these sweet tiny dog candies, as well as the other varieties the brand makes, both as welcome holidays gifts and also year-round.

Sweepstakes

Now through December 12th is your chance to enter to WIN a festive dog-themed holiday stocking overflowing with 24 stocking stuffer sized bags of those amazingly good Gimbal's Black Licorice Scottie Dogs candies.

Hanukkah Easy DIY Crafts Recipes to Celebrate Jewish Festival of Lights

Celebrations

This year, Chanukah, the 8-day Jewish Festival of Lights starts the night of December 24 and ends on January 1, New Year's Day. The menorah candelabra that Jews light each of the nights of the holiday, adding an additional candle each evening, is one of the most familiar symbols of the celebration. Other popular things associated with the celebration are the Star of David (Mogen David), the colors blue & white representing the Israeli flag, fried foods (think donuts and potato pancake latkes), dreidel toy tops, and of course, chocolate coins covered in gold foil.

To help you celebrate, here are some of my favorite creative crafts (including a few edible art projects) to make this holiday memorable.

This holiday art project from Crayola makes it possible for every child to make his or her own decorative paper menorah to use as a beautiful table centerpiece that can be reused year after year. Since it's made of paper and there is no actual flame involved, it is not only safe, it's fun and easy to make. Find free how-to directions to make this cute Chanukah craft which you can make together with younger kids and that older children can create on their own HERE

Also from Crayola are directions to easily craft some pretty holiday boxes, including the one pictured for Chanukah in blue and white with the Star of David on top, using their Model Magic air drying clay product HERE

These adorable Chanukah Donut Cookies from Joy of Kosher are a really creative edible craft. Using the same cookie cutter as when you make donuts, the kids will love helping you decorate these! Get the recipe and how to HERE

Last, but not least, if you haven't done this already in past years: Why not bake and decorate a Hanukkah Gingerbread House with the kids like the one I made for my own family? This project is fun for the whole family to join in working on together. Just don't forget to take photos before you gently craft this with a hammer to eat the delicious gingerbread.
