Today is National Chocolate Candy Day (12/28)
« on: December 28, 2016, 07:58:38 pm »
I know what you're thinking ... what with holiday treats we've still got a national day to celebrate ... chocolate candy?  :heart:

Yeeesssiree...and here's what you didn't know ~

"It's National Chocolate Candy Day! Chocolate candy is one of the most popular sweets in the world. It can be combined with everything from nuts and caramel to raisins and pretzels to make some of our favorite chocolate treats!

Did you know that during the Second World War, the U.S. Government commissioned Milton Hershey to create a candy bar to include in the soldiers' rations? The recipe his company created is now the famous Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar.

Today, chocolate is still clearly an American favorite treat. Over 2.8 billion pounds are consumed annually. On average that means each person consumes over eleven pounds per year! To celebrate National Chocolate Candy Day, enjoy some of your favorite types of chocolate candy."  [Source:  punchbowl.com]

I had two little pieces of Christmas fudge with my morning coffee when I got up.
