You spin me right round, baby right round, like a dreidel baby, right round right round! And we bet there is no way this spectacular bite size snack will last long enough for you to actually sing that. Chocolate, pretzels, marshmallows, kisses - sounds like a modern day miracle to us.

We tip our hat to you, Olive Oil, our miracle of miracles! Not only are you the reason we Jews can even celebrate a festival of lights, but you go in cake too! This crazy bite might look simple, but it offers a rich and miraculous way to brighten up one of your crazy nights!

OMG WE CAN'T EVEN. Our mouths are watering. Never have we ever thought to top smashed potato with smashed meat. It's like taking traditional Father Hanukkah and traditional Mama Shabbat, and BAM, brisket topped latke is born. And there is no going back.

This just got REAL. What better way to stuff a donut than with our favorite sandwich filling from childhood. Now that we're older and wiser, it's only right we upgrade our eating habits. PB&J donuts, here we come! HEY MA, can I get a glass of milk please?
