🍫❤️ HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY! ❤️🍫
Sunday 13th September is International Chocolate Day — and quite honestly, we think that's a very good reason to celebrate! 😋🍫
But have you ever wondered why chocolate gets its very own day?
International Chocolate Day is a chance to celebrate everything we love about chocolate — from the humble cocoa bean and the fascinating history behind it, to the incredible variety of chocolate we enjoy today.
The 13th September is commonly associated with the birthday of Milton S. Hershey, the American chocolatier and founder of the Hershey Chocolate Company, who was born on this date in 1857. The exact origins of International Chocolate Day itself aren't entirely clear, but the date has become a popular opportunity for chocolate lovers everywhere to celebrate! 🍫❤️
And how do people celebrate?
Well… there are lots of ways! 😍
🍫 Enjoying your favourite chocolate bar
🍰 Baking something delicious with chocolate
🎁 Giving chocolate as a gift to someone special
🍫 Holding chocolate tastings and trying different varieties
🌱 Learning more about where cocoa comes from and how it becomes chocolate
❤️ And, of course, simply sharing some chocolate with family and friends!
For us here at K&G Chocolates, we think celebrating chocolate is about so much more than simply eating it. We love sharing the story behind chocolate, talking about where it comes from and, of course, creating delicious treats for you to enjoy! 🐭🍫
So this Sunday 13th September, why not treat yourself to a little chocolate? After all…Life is too short to wait for an excuse! 😉🍫❤️
And if you're looking for us, you'll know exactly where to find us… surrounded by chocolate! 😂🐭
What will you be enjoying to celebrate? Milk, White, Dark or Ruby? 👀
