Whether you love milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or a delicious bonbon filled with a surprising flavor, chocolate is a treat that almost everyone enjoys. And what better day to celebrate this delicacy than International Chocolate Day?
The origins of International Chocolate Day
International Chocolate Day is celebrated every year on September 13th. This date wasn't chosen at random; it's the birthday of Milton S. Hershey , the founder of the famous chocolate brand Hershey's. Although chocolate has been around for thousands of years, this day is a modern tribute to all things cocoa.
World Chocolate Day
The difference between International Chocolate Day and World Chocolate Day is mainly in the date and origin:
