The almond is equally revered, referred to in the Bible as being “among the best of fruits.” Chocolate With Almonds Day celebrates the coming together of these two substances.

They are easily harvested from within the almond fruit, and are now grown extensively in California, and is the subject of the largest managed cultivation in the entire world of agriculture. That’s how important this humble tree nut is.

How to celebrate Chocolate With Almonds Day

Snickers now makes a bar with almonds, as does Hershey’s with their almond variation on their traditional chocolate bar. But it can go so much further than this. Try your own hand at making a special Chocolate With Almonds Day treat.

Take some almonds and clean them thoroughly, salt them, and put them on a cookie sheet. Place them in the oven and roast them at 450 until lightly browned. While they’re roasting melt down the milk chocolate in a double boiler, add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper, and stir thoroughly. Then you just take the roasted almonds from the oven, allow them to cool, and toss them in the bowl until coated. Place on wax paper to let the chocolate harden and enjoy!

Chocolates my brother brought me from Confiserie Sprüngli in Switzerland 🍫

[octuscle]

I wonder if there is a suitcase from Zurich too? What's the result opening a suitecase from there?

In fact, I would have a suitcase from ZRH. I will send it to you directly to Sihlwald. Then you don't have to go to Kloten.

Occasionally you regret that you gave up your apartment on the Limmat with a view of the Münster after retirement. Yes, your view of the lake is a dream now, but you miss the lights of Bahnhofsstrasse and your Sunday newspaper reading at breakfast on Paradeplatz. Now it's just too far to stop by Sprüngli for a moment… Anyway, let's see what's in the suitcase, maybe it will remind you a bit of the old home…

Well, yes, the things remind you of the old home. It looks like someone who had visited the Street Parade lost his suitcase. What a pity, unfortunately you can't do anything with it. But as far as you know, the grandson of your neighbors is a friend of such events. Maybe he would be interested. But first you should wash the clothes. Everything doesn't smell really clean anymore.

You programmed the washing machine to be ready at 06:00 the next morning. That's your time to get up in the summer. As a child, you always had the idea that pensioners sleep in every day. Funny as it sounds, when you were still working, you slept longer. There should be some of your laundry in the washing machine. But obviously there are only things from your grandson in there. Everything from his last rave, a few of his sports clothes. The things young people wear these days. Everything is made of synthetic fibers, so you'd better not put it in the dryer. And in this weather, everything dries quickly in the sun.

When you take the laundry off at noon, your son still hasn't shown up. It's Saturday, he was out with friends in the city yesterday. He probably spent the night somewhere. So you fold the clothes and put them in the closet in his room. You really have to go shopping together again. The boy needs some sensible clothes. You always have the impression that he goes through the clubs in his underwear. Well, that's his business, your parents didn't always like your clothes either. You can't mow the lawn at this time of day, so you're off to the gym. It's always nice and empty there on Saturday afternoons.

So, the muscles are pumped up. You put on your outfit for clubbing right after the workout. If you go home now, you'll just have to justify yourself to your parents about a thousand little things. The S-Bahn is about to leave, you and your friends can have a little private party in your grandfather's apartment on the Limmat and then it's off to the clubs. You can hardly wait until the Street Parade starts again in two months.

The train comes in a few minutes You tell a few friends that they should bring alcohol with them. It's sure to be another great evening

International Chocolate Day

While there may be a few people in the world who don’t like chocolate, for most of the world chocolate is considered to be a delicious treat. And for some people, chocolate may even be considered an obsession.

International Chocolate Day was created to learn about, celebrate and enjoy everything that has to do with chocolate!

History of International Chocolate Day

Chocolate plants have probably been on earth since the dawn of history. But it wasn’t until around 4000 years ago that the Olmec people of Mesoamerica (present day Mexico) began turning cocoa beans into a beverage. At the time, drinking chocolate was a rather rare and special delicacy that was used in cultural rituals as well as for medicinal purposes.

When the Aztecs and Mayans got involved with it years later, cocoa beans eventually were cultivated and used as valuable currency for trading. Mayans even referred to chocolate as a “drink from the gods”, and the Aztecs considered it to be an important way to prepare for war as well as using it as an aphrodisiac.

Around the 16th century, chocolate made its way to Europe, although the Spanish kept it a secret for quite some time. Eventually, “chocolate houses” (something like a pub but for chocolate) began popping up in Britain and the trend spread through Europe.

The invention of the chocolate press influenced chocolate making and made the possibility of solid chocolates more feasible. In addition, the Dutch process to make cocoa powder allowed chocolate to be more accessible to more people, other than just the rich or royals.

By the mid-to-late-1800s, chocolate companies began manufacturing chocolate bars in Europe. Nestle, J.S. Fry and Sons and Lindt companies were all started during this time. Later, other companies came along such as Hershey’s, Cadbury, Mars and more.

As the processes of making chocolate have been refined over the years and access to sugar and other ingredients has become easier, chocolate has become part of everyday life for many people.

Recipes that call for the ingredient might include chocolate candies, cakes, brownies, cookies, cupcakes and so much more. And it can be used in the form of cocoa powder or baking chocolate in dark, semi-sweet or milk chocolate versions.

International Chocolate Day is about paying heed to everything related to this delightful treat that is now part of cultures all over the world. Enjoy learning about and taking part in the celebration of this day!

How to Celebrate International Chocolate Day

A favorite day of the year for many people, International Chocolate Day is certainly one that deserves celebrating. Consider some of these ideas for participating in and enjoying this day:

Enjoy Eating Some Chocolate

Whether it’s milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate or dark chocolate, International Chocolate Day is the perfect time to enjoy taking part in this delicious treat. Grab a favorite type of chocolate bar, like Hershey’s, Nestle or Ghirardelli, or try out some new and special types of chocolate that are sourced from different parts of the world.

Another fun way to celebrate the day is to buy a huge box of chocolates and try out the different flavors. Whitman’s Samplers, Fannie May, Richart, Lindt and Godiva are just a few of the companies that make assorted boxes of chocolates. Read the list on the lid to find out what you are eating, or hide the list and make a guessing game out of finding out which flavor each chocolate is!

Host an International Chocolate Day Event

Whether it’s a setup in the breakroom with coworkers at the office or a party at home including neighbors and friends, International Chocolate Day is a great time to gather chocolate lovers together and pay heed to this worldwide sensation.

Featuring everything chocolate, this gathering can include creative snacks like a chocolate fountain, homemade chocolate brownies or chocolate ice cream sundaes. For activities, try a chocolate tasting table where guests can sample a variety of chocolates that are sourced from around the world. Perhaps include chocolates that contain higher or lower percentages of cocoa.

Enjoy Chocolate For All the Meals

Chocolate doesn’t have to be only for dessert! It can be used in savory meals as well. So, in honor of International Chocolate Day, in addition to having it for a snack or dessert, try including chocolate in meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Chocolate for breakfast can be an easy inclusion. Chocolate yogurt, chocolate smoothies, or chocolate cherry muffins can be on the menu. If the chocolate included in breakfast is dark chocolate, it can even work in a healthy manner to help to burn body fat and decrease blood sugar levels throughout the day!

For lunch and dinner, savory meals can be created that include chocolate. Certain recipes for chili (specially Cincinnati style chili) include shavings of dark chocolate and cinnamon flavors and it’s served on top of pastas. Mole sauce, which is a traditional Mexican dish, is made with chocolate and spices and used on meat dishes, tortillas, or enchiladas.

Salads make a great light lunch and many salad recipes can be adjusted to incorporate some chocolate. Try a spinach pear salad with chocolate vinaigrette or a baby spinach and strawberry salad with vidalia onions and cacao nibs.

Bake Something with Chocolate

Of course, the easiest time to incorporate chocolate into eating is for dessert. Try whipping up a basic brownie recipe, baking some pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough, or preparing some easy no-bake chocolate, peanut butter and oat cookies without even having to turn the oven on. International Chocolate Day is a great time to enjoy baking with this versatile ingredient.

Share Chocolate with Friends

As long as you are cooking or baking, why not go ahead and share with someone special in celebration of the day? Or, for those who don’t feel like baking, feel free to pop over to a local bakery or grocery store! Box up some chocolate cupcakes to give to the neighbors, pass out some chocolate muffins at work or simply get a big chocolate bar and share it with the family!

I was thinking to myself, "This art is amazing, but I don't know if I'd be so excited to get such mediocre chocolates," when I noticed the image of the chocolates themselves. The difference is wild, just look at these!

The original Whitman's Sampler:

Delectable, delightfully colorful. I might not like everything, but I'd be excited to at least try them. The gold wrappers are a nice fancy touch. $2 ($20.16 after calculating for inflation) for a pound of chocolate, a total of 56 pieces based on the original post's image (counting the almonds as one object), or 84 pieces based on the variety pictured above. That's a lot of choclate!

Compare those to the modern version, as distributed by Russell Stover:

Not nearly as exciting but serviceable and better than no chocolates at all. (This package is about $30 USD for 1.5 pounds.)

Turns out Whitman's was bought by Russell Stover in 1993, which was bought by Lindt and Sprüngli in 2014. Lindt was bought by Sprüngli back in 1899, so I suppose this is old hat now.

There's also the matter of quantity. In previous years, the sampler had 15 chocolates in two layers, 30 total. In 2022, the same sized box had only 11, for a total of 22. Look at the way they changed the packaging! Same price of about $13 USD for nearly ⅓ less product.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, but I've been looking at this post and these chocolates for almost an hour, and I don't want to delete all this.

Have a good day, y'all!

i think i just stumbled into a new fave aver piece of art but i cant find a title...
