Buckeyes (Parve)
My kids love these peanut butter chocolate bonbons (Buckeyes). They are easy to make, can be made in advance, pareve and sinfully delicious. However, I can't make them too often because I end up eating too many of them myself!

Honey Oatmeal Cookies (Parve)
While these crispy Honey Oatmeal Cookies are delicious anytime of the year, I especially bake them for the holiday of Succoth. I like to cook with honey in the autumn in the hopes of a sweet new year, and my kids love to eat these treats in our Sukkah.

Israeli Chocolate Balls (Parve)
A long, long time ago, when I was in preschool in Israel, I used to make these treats. And today in Israel, preschool children continue to make them. Israelis call them Kadori Shokolad (Chocolate Balls), but elsewhere they are referred to as truffles. By rolling them in a variety of coverings (powdered sugar, coconut, or candy sprinkles), they can make a colorful dessert.

Meringue Cookies - from Susie Fishbein (Parve)
Meringue cookies take time to prepare and bake, but the work itself is simple.

When the cookies came out of the oven, I was surprised to find the best-tasting meringues I've ever eaten.
