October 28th, 2025 is National Chocolate Day

National Chocolate Day

"Your love is better than chocolate." "Death by chocolate." Chocolate must be significant to enter into common figures of speech. And why wouldn't it be? Who doesn't love chocolate?

Aside from reminding you to pick up Halloween candy, today is a good time to try a CDK chocolate recipe, from mousse to cakes to chili with cocoa and hot steaming seasonal beverages. Huzzah! It's National Chocolate Day.
