It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it! 

After throwing away bags of uneaten Streit's chocolate gelt last Hanukkah, we were determined to find the best tasting gelt around.  Here are the results of our taste tests.

   Trader Joe's                                         Thompson's

  At $1.99/bag these were               These were fine-nothing special.

  by far the best value

  (tons of coins in a pretty mesh

  bag).  Excellent taste, too.

  Thinner, more traditional coin.

  Lake Champlain                                    Godiva

 Best tasting!  And come                Truly the most decadent!

 in an adorable box.                        Very expensive (of course, it's Godiva)

 Thicker, milkier taste.                    Thicker and creamier than typical gelt.

 For the chocolate lover!                 Gorgeous gold bag--great hostess gift.
