National Chocolate Day

United States
October 28, 2016 6:45am CST
Finally - a 'national day' I can get down and dirty with! Today is October 28th, which is "National Chocolate Day"....a day that myself and many others will celebrate. Not that I don't celebrate chocolate on an almost daily basis, but today it is a necessity LOL. I don't have a houseful of chocolate, but I have enough to get buy. I have chocolate ice cream and a few pieces of chocolate bark (dark chocolate and pretzels pieces) which is really good. However, it is a little too early in the day for me to indulge, I'm an evening chocolate eater. So until later today I'll just think about chocolate. What's your favorite chocolate?

Well, I did not know, but today there was a chocolate sale and I have bought 4 different kind of chocolate for a total of 2 pounds. My favorite is dark chocolate, but I was kind enough to buy also white chocolate for my husband.

@AbbyGreenhill My husband was not of help, he brought me several kind of dark chocolates he knows I love. I will keep them down in the cellar and bring up only a few, so I am not tempted to eat too many.

Pecan Turtles Chocolate candy! I also like assorted chocolates in a Valentine box because I like the thrill of the surprise! I'm always happy with whatever I pick because it doesn't matter what's on the inside, as long as it's chocolate on the outside!

It's hard for me to name a favorite. I love See's soft centers. For awhile I was on a dark chocolate kick, but now I'm enjoying the milk chocolate as well. We have some miniature Milky Ways in the house.

I've never heard of national chocolate day (I guess we don't have such things in South Africa) but every day is chocolate day for me. I guess that would take the celebration out of a special day anyway

I'e been dying for a Hershey Special Dark bar but haven't gotten to the store to buy one. Since today is National Chocolate Day it would be a perfect excuse for me to indulge and I'm assuming there's no calories in chocolate today?

I do love chocolate although I managed to give it up for 8 months once when I was going through a health phase. I'm glad I went back to it though as it's one of life's pleasures. I like all kinds. I like expensive continental truffles but I'm also happy with a Curly Wurly. Chocolate orange is probably my favorite chocolate type of all but I like chocolate mints with coffee after a meal.
