And we are not complaining because it is the one-day where no one can question our obsession. Want to drizzle chocolate over your salad? Go right ahead, it is Chocolate Covered Anything Day! Add chocolate to your morning cup of coffee? That is a brilliant idea! Eat chocolate covered fruits for lunch? You are in the spirit of the holiday!

Celebrating Chocolate Around the Year

Chocolate is a very popular theme for a fun holiday. Other chocolate themed holidays are Chocolate Pudding Day, Milk Chocolate Day, Chocolate Pecan Pie Day, Chocolate Milkshake Day, Chocolate Cupcake Day, and Chocolate Cake Day.

How to Celebrate?

Eat only chocolate covered items on this day. Chocolate covered donuts for breakfast, chocolate covered fruits for lunch and a chocolate rubbed steak for dinner.
Get creative and try to experiment by pairing chocolate with dishes and food items you may never think about putting together.

Did You Know…

…that the earliest record of humans consuming chocolate dates back to 1700 B.C.?

She smiled and replied, “I take medication for that.”

The man thinks for a moment, then says, "I think my biggest weakness is my brutal honesty."

The interviewer says, "I don't think that's a weakness."

The man then says, "I don't give a #%^& what you think!"
