According to a report by Fox News in 2010, eating small bits of chocolate every day could reduce the risk of developing a heart attack or having a stroke by up to 40%. Chocolate has found its way to become a significant part of the popular Jewish festival in the form of Chanukah gelt in the 20th century. Since it was both uneconomical and futile to give small children money in the form of gold pennies American chocolatiers introduced an alternative, both tasteful and wholesome. You can make children earn their chocolate coins by planning up some Hanukkah games and determining the winners.
