Chocolate lovers! Get ready to rejoice because November 29th is National Chocolates Day! No, not “Chocolate Day.” “Chocolates Day” – with an “s,” plural. It’s a special day to celebrate bite-sized chocolatey treats like truffles, bark, and other candies. With the holidays approaching fast, these little chocolates also just so happen to make perfect gifts for your sweetie, friends, family, or yourself — because we all deserve a little chocolate in our lives, just because.
Who doesn’t love chocolate? Okay, maybe there’s someone (if you’re allergic, we’re sorry), but good luck finding them. Most people love the rich, deep, sweet, and slightly bitter taste of chocolate, especially dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is also healthy for you with flavanols that have antioxidant effects that can help with heart disease. Dark chocolate has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve vascular function, possibly reducing the risks of diabetes, stroke, and heart attack.
Now that you know chocolate is good for you, let’s indulge. Check out 10 Vegan Recipes for National Chocolate Day, 10 Decadent Dishes for Dark Chocolate Lovers, and 10 Vegan Recipes for National Chocolate Cake Day. But since today is about chocolates, not just chocolate, let’s indulge with these 15 recipes for chocolate treats that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
