Today is National Chocolate Day! Yes folks, there is such a day.
I have a floating cloud of beautiful light and dark brown colors running through my mind. I see chocolate covered peanuts and pretzels. Oh wait, there went a Snickers bar.
I see chocolate chips, Reeses Peanut Butter cups, and Butterfingers oh my!
But the best part – M&M’s.
And then…. The Calorie Queen flew by and completely popped my dream bubble. How rude!
I like the picture on this post. Had I known it was chocolate day, I would have gotten started on celelbrating it a little earlier. Now, to make up for all the chocolate I didn’t eat today, I’ll need to have 6 or 7 nestle crunch bars.

Agreed, if anything I had a lot of candy corn yesterday, wish I had of known D:
I guess I have to go out and celebrate!!!

Now thatโs a holiday I can celebrate! ๐
fabulous… an excuse to eat โฅ ~chocolate~ โฅ
How appropriate that I bought a Hershey’s bar while grocery shopping today! I am so in the spirit of the holiday!
Thanks for the reminder. I am having my Swiss Chocalate Cailler with hazelnut bar right now! Yum!
correction….chocolate
I’m swooning.
Oh, I love those chocolate calculators in the picture. I saw them only yesterday in stores.
Best national day ever. Let the celebrations commence!
(Screw the Calorie Queen. She has no power here)
I had no idea! But thankfully I ate a Lindt hazelnut bar earlier! ๐
Finally, a national day that actually makes sense. Thanks for posting!
This is a nice website. I am presently off sweets, but when I get back to them, I will indulge. I have been off sweet since the last of September and I will not be eating them for some time. But you go ahead. Indulge in chocolate. It has been a favorite, especially Hersey bars. Smile.
Mmmm, way to trigger all my cravings with your post. Yum!
I missed chocolate day=[
Never mind,I’ll celebrate tomorrow <3<3
haha=]
I was about to post something ridiculous about how I was disappointed that I missed chocolate day….
But as long as somebody else is celebrating tomorrow, I guess I can too.
No wonder I have been craving chocolate all day! I have a few more hours to celebrate!
That’s amazing!
Haha–without knowing it’s National Chocolate Day I’ve been eating my way through all our Halloween candy. The bowl of candy is slowly disappearing…
I really like the chocolate picture, very nice. Where can i find those kind of chocolate?
I hope we, Indonesian people, have National Chocolate Day too. The picture is really nice.. I wonder i can eat it if i have one.. Maybe i’ll keep it..
;P
hi,
came across your blog on freshly pressed and am thoroughly enjoying it!:)
So glad you are enjoying it. I enjoy writing it. Please subscribe if you get the opportunity.

Best Holiday Ever!!! I just had hot chocolate (about 1/4 cocoa powder, 1/8 sugar and only 5/8 milk, super-rich) and a chocolate chip cookie. Unfortunately, the calorie fairy inundated my ability to reap too much pleasure..the cookie was from a place called “The Bovine Bakery”. Just a reminder that its so delicious for all the butter.
I didn’t care, I gobbled it up and washed it down with my rich, warm cocoa and immediately after found your blog and learned that it happens to be national chocolate day! If the store weren’t closed I’d go get another one and do it all again.
Glad I could help. And now I’m drooling. Thanks a lot! ๐
…I think everyday should be a celebrate chocolate day but hey, that’s just me! I missed national chocolate day but I refuse to let that stop me from indulging! Mmmm, dark chocolate ๐
when the going gets tough, the tough eat chocolate.
TOO CUTE!
amazing!

I can only think to remember Professor Lupin and say that if chocolate helps against Dementors, it most certainly helps against all of life’s other ailments. Happy Chocolate Day!
Chocolate certainly helps. Especially since it helps against Dementors. Good to see a I-have-read-Harry-Potter-with-interest person here!
Cheers.
I should have gotten some chocolate and used this chocolate day as an excuse, I had no clue!
Yummy! Too bad it’s before Halloween or I would eat the candy, but I want to save it for the kids…otherwise I could eat the leftovers…

I celebrate this day all year long — don’t tell anyone, it’ll be out little secret.

From now on, my favorite day is the National Chocolate Day. Even I’m from the Philippines, I will declare it to be a world-wide celebration! Haha!
Mmmmm…..chocolate! Dark chocolate! Ooops. I’m a day late on celebrating. Gotta go catch up with some “Dark Chocolate Brownies” I just made last night!
And WHY did I have to go to work today? I mean, come on … it’s National Chocolate Day!
Thanks for the reminder. Now I don’t feel bad for giving my kids a brownie tonight. Must establish traditions, after all… ๐

DID YOU KNOW that Mr. Hershey (chocolate) failed SEVEN times in business before he opened Hershey Chocolate?
It’s true – I hope this inspires you!
It does inspire me. Thanks for letting me know.
Bugger!!!
In Australia it is 29th as I read your blog – I missed out by one day!!! Oh well will celebrate anyway. Thanks for sharing ๐
Chocolate comprises a number of raw and processed foods produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least …Health effects of chocolate
Great post – short and sweet…pun intended! My favorite is dumping a bunch of chocolate chips into a jar of peanut butter and sitting down with a big spoon before the calorie queen comes by.
ooh, now I know why I ate at that chocolate today. Good to a proper excuse. ๐
Wow! Didn’t know that there’s a celebration for that. For chocolate lovers like me, everyday is a Chocolate Day. Yes right, what’s the name of that one in the photo? Looks like a Hershey’s bar, but pretty sure it’s not. Let us all celebrate and buy heaps of chocolates!!!

Zomg no I missed chocolate day!
*travels back in time to eat a few hundred chocolate bars*
*returns to our time*
That’s better. xD
What a perfect excuse for eating chocolate!
i love chocolate! yummy! the picture is so tempting!
chocs day? seems to me that everyday should be celebrated with something.
chocs are cool. i love dark chocs. i love toblerones. i love em but, chocs day? i didn’t know that…
Looool!! I never knew such a thing existed!!
I have the chocolate calculator!!
Hmm…didn’t know that, must have missed it. Of course, every day is chocolate day in my world.
hells yeah!
Oh No I didn’t know!!! I could’ve celebrated really lavishly. However all I had today was one Cadbury Crunchie at work with my morning coffee.
Im addicted to chocolate. I even didnt know about National Chocolate Day, but I still ate huge amount of choc… ๐
Long live Chocolate Day!
I didn’t know there is a chocolate day. I’m glad there is.. I have now a reason to eat my heart out. ๐
Chocolate Day? I didn’t know. I’ll have to celebrate all weekend to make up for it.
Thank you all for the comments. I’m so thrilled to know everyone had an amazing National Chocolate Day!
It sounds like Hershey’s won’t be going out of business anytime soon.
Please come back and visit my blog often. I would love to keep connecting with all of you.
Yesterday was chocolate day and I missed it? Bah. I think I’ll have to try some kind of complicated chocolate dessert tomorrow to make up for it.
This was really a sweet and nice read…Though not very very fond of chocolates…its nice to know that we have a chocolate day!!!
The chocs that help us lighten our moods
sometimes replace the boring food…
the chocs have a special day of their own
that is still a very very unknown!!
Cheers
Thank you for the encouraging comment. Love the chocolate cheer poem. ๐
Chocolate covered anything sounds good. I was finally introduced to the choco-covered bacon last week. So strange but not bad.
I’ve heard it was good, but just can’t bring myself to do it.
I actually bought myself one of these a couple of years back in China. I have never used it and never had the guts to give it to anyone else… haha pointless purchase, but it made me happy at the moment! thanks capitalism ๐
I think every day should be National Chocolate Day!

Darned … Can’t find any chocolate in the house today. A couple of days ago, I coated some sweets by dipping them under a chocolate fountain … Yummy!
I like the picture on this post. Had I known it was chocolate day, I would have gotten started on celelbrating it a little earlier. Now, to make up for all the chocolate I didnโt eat today, Iโll need to have 6 or 7 nestle crunch bars.

I’m a day late, but I’m still going to celebrate. I love chocolate bars, but not chocolate cake or brownies. Go figure.
It’s never too late to celebrate. That’s the great thing about chocolate! ๐
My new favorite holiday. Bring on the Nutella! Congrats on being freshly pressed. ๐
Thanks.. Thrilled to be freshly pressed. It’s a first for me!
loveee chocolate! well i celebrate it by having a lil bite everyday hehe ๐
Oh, the Calorie Queen is such an evil creature and the spoiler of many happy occasions, with her twin sister Guilt. I severed all ties with them long time ago.
i love chocolate! kisses from Italy…
Ohhh boy that photo is such a classic…simple but immediately recognizable…..now I need to load up on some:)
Wow I had no idea! How convenient on Halloween weekend haha. I have recently rekindled my love for Hersheys kisses via their caramel variety. I’ve been eating them all week!

I had no idea this day existed! I feel like I really missed out now! ๐
OH HOW I LOVE CHOCOLATE!
Lindt Chocolate Truffles! Get yourself a bag of the dark chocolate, and just eat one or two. Then the next night, treat yourself again to one or two…make the bag last and just relish in the creaminess, the smoothness, the flavor…now my mouth is watering!
I guess this is a good reason for eating chocolate without doubts…But you said it the Calorie Queen flew by :S
Darn! I missed it…. the one food group that gets its own day….
Ahhh so ALL the chocolate I ate today at work was for a VERY good reason! LOL Love your post, it’s no wonder you made Freshly Pressed! Congrats ๐ LB
Thanks for the encouraging words. I’d be lying if I said being freshly pressed wasn’t awesome!
chocolate is the best
loved it! such a fun post ๐
I love the new types of m&m’s especially the peanut butter ones…….mmmmm, peanut butter.
If you eat dark chocolate you can at least tell the calorie queen that you’re eating it for the anti-oxidants! ๐
Love it!
Argh, I missed it ๐
But I’m gonna celebrate anyways, hee hee.
I never knew such a day existed. Thankie for the info.
๐
I’m not a big fan of chocolate. Still have some left in my fridge, waiting to be eaten soon. Who want one? ๐
What an idea! to celebrate “global chocolate day.” …. lets make this concept popular across wordwide through all our means, communications and groups

Oh, no, I think I missed choclate day. how could I have let this happen?
Congratulations on being FreshlyPressed at WordPress
I need chocolates.. lots of it! ๐ I didn’t know there’s a chocolate day! Wow! We don’t have here in the Philippines. ๐
Why would you need to constrain it to just one day? ๐
I missed Chocolate day! :-O I’m going to have to go and make up for that right now.
Chocolate needs a month, not a day
Any excuse for chocolate i’m heading for the cupboard right now! Oh no my kids have eaten it all!
Why isn’t that on every calendar in the United States. THAT is cause for National celebration. Weird that it is so close to Halloween.
๐
Have a happy choclate day enjoy choclate today.
Wow I didn’t know that but just went to the 16th Chocolate Show in Paris! Wow that was just chocolate all over the place. All types and OMG I just had so much of it.
The weirdest thing today was Pepper-chocolate! It has a distinct pepper taste but not too spicy, the black chocolate and pepper blend in a funny great way. I ended up buying a small square for about $4.
Will be posting at least one pure chocolate photo on my photo site soon.
Sounds great! Have you tried the bacon chocolate?
OMG no I have not. Does it actually taste good or is it just something to get media?
BTW, I posted my chocolate photo for today. Hope I am still within the National day schedule ๐

I hate the calorie fairy, she always ruins good mood when I’m enjoying a piece of delicious white chocolate. Happy Chocolate day (late)

My wife is a huge chocolate fan. Every time we go shopping she wants me to buy chocolate. Chocolate rules.
Like almost everyone else, I too enjoy eating chocolate. I didnโt even know that there was a chocolate day. I wonder if the chocolate stores know about this because if they did, perhaps there would be huge sales in their stores. Itโs funny how you mentioned clouds with many assortments of chocolate inside them. I catch myself sometime specifically when I am very hungry dreaming of awesome chocolate assortments.
At least I don’t gain weight when I dream about them. ๐
I’M A CHOCOLATE FREAK!!! I have been living on the 12-step chocoholics program for most of my life… I try to never be more than 12 steps from chocolate. Great entry! Have to mark this date on my calendar for sure.
Who doesn’t love chocolate! It’s so great on any occasion!

The key is to quickly eat what you want before the Calorie Queen shows up. ๐
