Gold coin chocolates are certainly a Hanukkah necessity, although I love how this tradition can be made even better with Divine Chocolate's gold-wrapped fair-trade coins. Made from cocoa coming from a farmer-owned cooperative of growers in Ghana, Divine Chocolate's Milk Chocolate Coins are a delicious way to help others while celebrating the season. With natural ingredients like fair trade sugar, cocoa butter and cream, they blow the wrappers off those artificial-tasting gold coins my kids get at birthday parties.

They come bundled in a little pouch with both small and large coins, so if your kids are like mine and offer you a smaller one, let them know you're on to them. In fact the words FAIR TRADE are embossed onto the foil---I'll tell them it just means that Mommy gets to trade for the bigger coins. -Christina

Divine Chocolate's fair trade and kosher certified milk chocolate gold coins are available at Natural Candy Store in single bags or 20-packs.
