chocolate coins

Gilded candy discs

Chocolate coins are small discs of chocolate wrapped in gold or silver foil to resemble currency, traditionally given during Hanukkah as gelt or tucked into Christmas stockings.

They often feature embossed designs mimicking real coins.

The foil wrapper is part of the appeal—unwrapping feels like discovering treasure: The kids found chocolate coins scattered across the floor after the piñata broke.
