    You do not have to eat fruit if you are allergic to them. There is no religious reason to eat chocolate instead, although it sounds like a delicious alternative! The honey takes care of the symbolism for sweetness. If you put honey on your Challah, you can recite the special prayer that you will have a sweet new year.
