I found your site because I am seeking reviews of chocolate gelt. I’m the owner of ModernTribe.com, a Judaica and Jewish gifts catalog. We created a game called No Limit Texas Dreidel that combines dreidel with poker—it requires betting with chocolate gelt of course! Do you have any recommendations on gelt brands? You sure do know your candy!

If you want some good quality foil wrapped novelty candies try Madelaine’s or Wilbur ... I’m pretty sure the former is Kosher. The ones sold at Trader Joe’s are also pretty good (but only seasonal).
