National Chocolate Candy Day

Chocolate candy is one of the world’s most popular sweets, and today it gets its own day. The candy is often created by mixing chocolate with ingredients like nuts and caramel. Some examples of chocolate candy include truffles and candy bars.

Chocolate comes from a bean called Theobroma cacao. The word “chocolate” itself comes from the Spanish, and it stems from the Aztec word xocolatl, which means “bitter water.” The Aztecs pounded the cacao beans and drank them without adding any sugar, and they thought the beans came from the gods. Indeed, Theobroma means “food of the gods.” Cocoa beans are about 50% “cocoa butter” and 50% “chocolate liquor.” Hernando Cortés brought cocoa beans back to Spain, and a chocolate drink that included sugar became popular right away. The word “chocolate” first appeared in print, in England, in 1604.

During the eighteenth century, a chocolate drink became fashionable throughout Europe, and it first became manufactured in what would become the United States in 1765. The first chocolate factory opened in the United States in 1780, but hard chocolate candy was not yet made until the dawn of the nineteenth century. Hardened chocolate candy bars first became being sold on a large scale by the Cadbury Company of England in 1842, and “chocolate creams"—candies with sugar-cream centers—were first eaten by Americans in the 1860s.

Milk chocolate was first made by the Swiss in 1875 when Daniel Peter added his chocolate to the newly-discovered sweetened condensed milk of Henry Nestlé, and it became popular in America and Europe. Milton S. Hershey, who had been in the candy business since the age of fourteen, and who had been quite successful with his Lancaster Caramel Company, was enamored by the chocolate-making he saw at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago—especially the making of milk chocolate. The first milk chocolate Hershey bar was produced in 1900, and by 1905 Hershey’s enormous factory in Derry Township, Pennsylvania, was in operation. With Hershey’s support, a company town sprang up around the factory, and milk from nearby farms was used in making the milk chocolate. Milton Hershey invented the Hershey’s kiss in 1907, and its trademark foil wrapper was added in 1924. Hershey provided troops in World War II with a Ration D bar, and later the better-tasting Tropical Chocolate Bar. These chocolate bars were resistant to temperatures higher than ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Besides Hershey bars and kisses, many other popular types of chocolate candies are under the Hershey’s umbrella, including Almond Joy, Mounds, and Reese’s. Another popular candy manufacturer in the United States is Mars, which produces chocolate candy bars such as Snickers and Twix.

National Chocolate Candy Day offers an opportunity for us to polish off the last of the specialty candies we received as gifts. Celebrated on December 28th, the day points us to the truffles and chocolate oranges tucked into stockings. Check those boxes of candy that may or may not have guides to help us choose cream-filled or ganache. The word “chocolate” comes from the word “xocoatl” or “chocolatl.” Mayan “school” means hot or bitter, and the Aztec “atl” means water. Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Cacao has been cultivated for at least three millennia and grows in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. The earliest known documentation of using cacao seeds is from around 1100 BC. #NationalChocolateCandyDay https://www.instagram.com/linkwithwink/p/CYBxG3_O2YN/?utm_medium=tumblr

What is your favorite chocolate candy? Today is #NationalChocolateCandyDay! Here are just some of my chocolate sscented candies bookmarks!

Much like Coffee, Chocolate is relaxing in a way that can also help rejuvenate and offer a pick-me-up. It, too, can stave a craving. Chocolate affects the pleasure sensors of the brain, even with just a single whiff, so you don't have to worry about the calories or unwanted sugar intake or if your emergency chocolate bar is just out of reach when fighting off anxiety or stress.

When we think of candies and chocolate our mind immediately goes to sweet things and celebrating! There's nothing sweeter to celebrate reading and the reader if your life!

Scented Bookmarks are available in my etsy shop!
