Put them in the fridge for 15-30 minutes to ensure that the components have adhered.

Gently reheat the chocolate so that it is soft and melty again. Using the pretzel stick as a handle, dip one of your treats into the chocolate so that it is coated up to the top of the marshmallow.

Using the white decorating icing, add Hebrew letters to the sides of the dreidels. I find that for newbies, the "hay" symbol, which vaguely resembles the pi sign, is the easiest to draw. Of course, you could always decorate them with the Star of David or a snowflake image, even if not technically dreidel-accurate.
