Nothing gold can stay, especially if it's homemade and comprised of deliciously rich dark chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Hanukkah Gelt Recipe

"If making chocolate gelt for myself makes me a greedy Jew, then I'm a greedy Jew. L'chaim!"

Servings: 4
Prep time: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

12 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
2 mini muffin tins
edible gold dust
food-safe paintbrush

Directions

1. Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water. Bring to a simmer and place a glass bowl or another pan on top.

2. Add chocolate to the bowl or pan and stir until melted. Place a spoonful of melted chocolate into each muffin cavity.

4. Once 24 cavities are filled, bang muffin tins against the counter a few times to even out chocolate. Place tins in fridge for 15-20 minutes or until chocolate is set.

6. On a cookie sheet or sheet pan, turn muffin tin upside down, and hit back of the tin to release chocolate. Using the food-safe paintbrush, dip brush into edible gold dust, and paint each coin until coated.
