Pralines Day
Indulge yourself in the rich, creamy, chocolatey treat known as pralines. Gather a few and host a taste-test, or try your hand and making them yourself.
Pralines are a delicious set of treats that are common throughout the world, they are a rich, creamy, chocolatey treat that is the height of confectionary decadence. There are also cookies that are called pralines that share similar sets of ingredients and properties as the chocolates themselves. Pralines Day celebrates these wonderful little bundles of sugary joy and their history in the world. We know you don’t need an excuse to enjoy one, but on Pralines Day you certainly have one!
History of Pralines Day
Long long ago a French sugar industrialist, the European praline came into existence at the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in the early 17th century. If you’ve ever seen pralines in the store that are little more than a whole almond coated in caramelized sugar, you’ve seen one of these original treats. This simple pleasure is where it all got its start before nougat came into the picture, and as chocolate had yet to be discovered by the Europeans, neither did chocolate.
As soon as chocolate was discovered it was a no-brainer to add it to the delicious ingredient known as praline. Praline is what you get when you take the nuts mentioned above and grind them into a powder, and once you finally add the last magical ingredient that is chocolate, it becomes praline. This wonderful little mixture is what’s used to fill chocolate treats that are now known as pralines.
Belgium came across it’s pralines after being inspired by these aforementioned delicacies, but they stood apart by having a rich chocolate center that was more liquid than solid. These soft-center Belgian Chocolates come in hundreds of varieties and are a favorite of confectioners everywhere. As any chocolate aficionado will tell you, these are the absolute bees knees of the chocolate industry.
How to celebrate Praline Day
Well, the first and best way of celebrating Pralines Day is to indulge yourself in the rich variety of flavors that are pralines. You can head down to your local candy shop and ask for samples, especially on Pralines Day, and they’ll help you decide which batch of them you want to leave with. Make no mistake, if you’ve never indulged in the delicious treat that is the Praline, you will be leaving with a batch of them, and be coming back for more. What’s that? You’re diabetic? No worries! So loved are the Pralines that you can actually find sugar free varieties of them that are just as delicious as the original. Pralines Day has something for everyone!

Chilling Corner for July and August 2023 with a spotlight on The Hare and the Tortoise and a box of chocolate.
July flew for me but not in the right way. It reminded me of Aesop’s fable about the hare and the tortoise. Do you remember this one? The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race, or that overconfidence can lead to failure. Outcomes depends on choices, on how one looks at life and the chocolate you choose in that box that is offered to you. Am I mixing metaphors, fables, ideas or…

thank you, from the bottom of my heart to weevildoing and the entire tptm fandom for this journey. As of writing this, tomorrow the last girl will come out.
Tptm has become one of my favorite albums by far, and every song and character is as fun as relatable and beautiful in so many ways.
It's a bit odd to think that we will no longer have any new album songs to expect; we have been doing so for long (or at least in my case) that it will be strange to just... have it complete.
Again, thank you so much. I love xiomara's design :D

Chocolate Day
Rich, velvety sweetness, cocoa's delectable cousin tempts with its luscious allure — a universal favorite that transcends borders and brings joy.
Since it falls as part of the celebration leading up to Valentine’s Day, Chocolate Day brings with it all sorts of ways to celebrate with love and affection.
History of Chocolate Day
Many chocolate lovers would say that the history of chocolate is directly related to the history of the happiness of humans! For thousands of years, cacao beans have been enjoyed and appreciated for their incredible benefits. Originally imbibed as a bitter beverage, chocolate has had a long and rich history, eventually evolving into the delicious confection as it is known today.
Chocolate actually has a number of days throughout the year when it is appreciated in its many different forms. From National Bittersweet Chocolate Day to National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, certainly chocolate offers tons of reasons to celebrate.
Today, Chocolate Day has been incorporated as part of a week-long celebration of days in conjunction with Valentine’s Day. The second of six days leading up to the holiday, Chocolate Day comes after Rose Day and before Propose Day. This week of gearing up to the ultimate celebration of love and affection is a natural space for Chocolate Day to find itself. Because everyone knows that chocolate is just one of the ways that lovers and romantics show each other how much they are adored!
Chocolate Day offers a variety of delicious and delightful ways to show affection and love. Get ready to celebrate Chocolate Day!

How to Celebrate Chocolate Day
Consider implementing some of the following ideas for celebrating Chocolate Day in a deliciously fitting manner:
Give Chocolate as a Gift
Chocolate Day is a beautiful time to enjoy and celebrate the love that comes along with this week in February. And one way to show someone how much they are loved is to gift them with an amazing assortment of chocolate candies. Choose a collection of truffles, caramels or bon bons that a lover or friend would most certainly appreciate.
Those who are celebrating Chocolate Day by giving chocolate to friends or coworkers might want to consider gifting them with one of these popular brands of chocolate:
Godiva Chocolate. Named after the legendary 11th century noblewoman, Lady Godiva, who rode naked through town to convince her husband to lighten up the taxes, this chocolate company hails from Brussels, Belgium.
Harry & David Chocolate Basket. Known for their gift baskets, Harry & David has been offering fruit, popcorn and, of course, chocolate for many years. They even offer chocolate dipped strawberries.
Toblerone Chocolate Bars. Sure, just giving a lover a long, yellow, triangle shaped chocolate bar might not feel that special. But when it is special ordered and personalized with their name on the label? Incredible!
Dylan’s Candy Bar. Accessible from Nordstrom’s, Dylan’s offers their chocolate lover’s tackle box, a stack of signature chocolate swatches, and so many other delectable chocolate options.
Take a Chocolate Factory Tour
Those who live in or near a town that has a chocolate factory may just find that Chocolate Day is the perfect time to take a little tour. Learn how chocolate is made, see the processes and – hopefully! – get some sample tastes of the finished product.
Of course, there’s Hershey’s Chocolate World in Hershey, PA; the Ghirardelli Chocolate Experience on the pier in San Francisco; Big Island Candies in Hilo, Hawaii; or Anthony Thomas Chocolates in Columbus, Ohio. Whether sampling milk chocolate, dark chocolate, truffles or fudge, it’s fun to watch the candy making process from start to finish!
Try Making Chocolates at Home
Some people might think that making chocolates at home for Chocolate Day would be a massive project! But actually, it’s possible to offer homemade chocolates for friends, family and other loved ones in honor of the day – without going to a huge amount of trouble or spending a lot of time. Some of them even have as few as four ingredients! Check out some of these types of chocolate sweets that can be made at home in a fairly simple manner:
Four ingredient chocolates. The key ingredients (which may need to be purchased at a specialty baking store) are cacao butter, cacao liquid or paste, maple syrup and vanilla powder. Simply use a double boiler to melt and mix the ingredients. Add a pinch of salt as desired. Pour into chocolate molds, place in the freezer, then pop out and enjoy!
Peanut butter cups. Also only needing four ingredients, these little homemade chocolate peanut butter cups take Reese’s to the next level. Mix peanut butter with powdered sugar and salt. Fill mini-muffin cups halfway with melted chocolate, add a layer of peanut butter mixture and pour more chocolate on top. Yum!
Chocolate peanut clusters. Super easy, these just use melted chocolate mixed with peanuts and placed on baking sheets in circles to harden.
Cook with Chocolate
Of course, chocolate is mostly associated with baking, sweets and candies. But getting creative on Chocolate Day might mean including some chocolate in each and every meal that is cooked for the day! Consider making some unique savory meals that are cooked using trace amounts of dark chocolate that change the experience completely.
For instance, try a Chocolate Chipotle Sirloin Steak recipe that has been made with a rub of cocoa powder, chipotle peppers, brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Chicken Mole (pronounced mo-LAY) is another traditional Mexican favorite that uses bittersweet chocolate in the tomato based sauce. Some people also love to put chocolate and cinnamon in their chili and serve Cincinnati-style, with pasta, red beans, chopped onion and cheese.
Choose a Chocolate Beverage or Cocktail
Going out for drinks after work in honor of Chocolate Day? Choose a spot that has some chocolate cocktails on offer! Of course, just a mug of toasty hot chocolate with whipped cream might taste just right, but ask for a shot of cinnamon or peppermint liqueur and make it super special. Other options might include a chocolate martini, chocolate mint julep, or chocolate old-fashioned to bring a unique flavor to Chocolate Day!
Chocolate Day FAQs
