Gift No. 1:
When in doubt during gift-giving seasons, we at JCarrot always turn to food. You can’t go wrong with a gift that’s beautifully packaged, artisanal and edible. That’s why, in the days leading up to Hanukkah, we’re bringing you gift ideas of the edible (or at least culinary) variety.
To start, we present: Gelt for Grown-Ups Kosher Chocolate Coins from Veruca Chocolates. We had the pleasure of sampling these adult-friendly treats at Kosherfest 2014 and can vouch for their deliciousness and impeccably researched presentation.
Veruca Chocolates has already received rave reviews from publications such as Food & Wine, Saveur and the New York Times, and we love that they come in the form of 4th decade BCE, Judean-replicated gelt.
The gold and silver airbrushed coins are available for purchase online in such luxurious flavors as dark chocolate with sea salt, dark chocolate with cacao nibs and milk chocolate. They’re kosher-certified by the Chicago Rabbinical Council and the perfect gift for the nostalgic-historian-chocophile in everyone.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
