This Week's Parsha
Chayei Sarah
This Dessert:
Four-hundred Silver Shkalim
When Sarah dies, Avraham buys her burial plot with 400 silver shekalim – a huge amount of money.
What You Need:
Ingredients
12 chocolate creme sandwich cookies (like oreo)
2 cups white chocolate melts
½ cup silver sprinkles
Things
Parchment paper
Shallow lipped tray
Small deep microwave safe bowl
2 forks
Serving Bowl
How to Make It:
Lay out a sheet of parchment paper about 9 inches long.
Pour silver sprinkles into a shallow lipped tray.
Put white chocolate in a small deep bowl and melt it in the microwave (or use a double boiler if you prefer). Start with 1 minute, mix the chocolate, put it in the microwave for another 20 seconds, and mix again. Repeat until the chocolate is fully melted.
Drop a cookie in the chocolate and push chocolate on top to completely cover the cookie.
Position a fork under the cookie and gently lift the cookie up and out. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate.
Immediately carefully drop the cookie into the sprinkles and cover the top with sprinkles.
Position a clean fork under the coated cookie and gently lift up. Gently place the cookie on parchment paper to dry.
Repeat steps 4-7 until all the cookies are coated.
When the chocolate is fully set, place all the cookies in the bowl.
