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’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
