Leftover chocolate coins, what to do...

I bought loads of chocolate coins to use for the "pot of gold" I was making but when it was time to make them I couldn't find the coins so I bought more.
Now today I have of course found them I got 10 bags of chocolate gold coins that I don't know what to do with. The best before date is Oct 08 so I cant keep them till next Christmas. Eating them is out of the question (I'm pregnant and can't stand the taste right now)
Any suggestions what to do with them???

    Use them in easter choc hampers, make more pot o golds for easter, or melt them down and use for baking, making choc slabs?

    Or you could just eat them.:D :D:D:D:D

    Make a treasure chest birthday cake and place coins all around :p
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    Great idea:D

    Or you could use them to filla pinata for a kids party, or add to party bags.

  • I'll eat them :D
  • If you have a birthday/anniversary coming up what about some sort of gift basket that has rainbow colours in it and the gold coins in the bottom of the basket at the 'end' of the rainbow. How about a fruit basket with all different coloured fruit and the coins as a treat? Or a pamper hamper with say a red flannel, orange bath bomb, yellow shampoo, green towel etc etc

    Why not freeze them til you think of something to do with them.
