The Meaning Behind Chanukah Gelt

“Gelt” is Yiddish for money. The traditional custom of giving children Chanukah gelt offers an opportunity to encourage Torah learning and teach generosity. Children can set aside some of their money for tzedakah and learn how to use the rest thoughtfully.

Chocolate gelt is a festive treat inspired by the money-giving tradition. Enjoy the chocolate coins alongside your celebration, while keeping the custom of giving actual money as its own meaningful practice.

Practical Chanukah Candy Shopping Tips

Should I choose milk chocolate or parve gelt?

Choose according to your household’s needs and the meal at which you plan to serve the treats. For a meat meal, select products labeled parve with certification acceptable to your family. If you require Cholov Yisroel, look for that designation on the specific dairy product.

Do not rely on foil color or packaging appearance to determine dairy or parve status. Read the label.

Are all Paskesz Chanukah treats nut free?

No blanket claim applies to the entire collection. Paskesz identifies certain chocolate coins and medallions as nut free, but that does not establish the status of every candy or chocolate product. Check the current package’s ingredients and allergen statements for the exact item you are buying.

How much candy should I order for a class or party?

Start with the number of guests and decide how many individually wrapped treats each person will receive. For example, 30 children receiving two wrapped treats each need 60 treats in total. Check whether the listing counts individual coins, bags, packages or boxes before calculating how many to order.

What works well in a Chanukah party bag?

Combine an age-appropriate dreidel with a sealed chocolate gelt package or wrapped candy. Candy-filled dreidels can also make convenient individual favors. For school events, confirm the school’s kashrus and allergy requirements before choosing the treats.

Explore our dreidel collection to complete your party bags.

Does chocolate gelt replace giving Chanukah money?

Chocolate coins are a sweet addition to the holiday, while traditional Chanukah gelt means actual money. Giving children money creates an opportunity to discuss tzedakah, generosity and thoughtful spending. Families can enjoy both customs as distinct parts of their celebration.

How should I store chocolate gelt and candy?

Follow the storage instructions on the package. Keep chocolate away from direct sunlight, heaters and other sources of warmth. Leave treats sealed until needed and check the best-before date when planning ahead for a party or school event.
