For me it’s time to take my life back and to get back on track with my diet which is still going to allow me to celebrate Chocolate Covered Anything Day with the Slim Fast Shakes I will be taking which is Chocolate. Come and join me and let’s take back our lives.
The question is what do BBQ Potato Chips, Strawberries, and Ants have in common? On December 16th, all three of these things and thousands of others —could all be considered key ingredients in a creative culinary confection.

Either way, December 16th is the perfect time to satisfy your craving for Chocolate covered anything while getting into the holiday spirit.

Why People Love National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
Chocolate is like falling in love and biting into your favorite dark Chocolate covered treat is often pictured as a sensual experience in magazines, but there may just be some scientific basis to this. Did you know studies have shown that eating dark Chocolate has the same effect on the brain as falling in love, thanks to a release of the chemical Phenylalanine. Maybe that’s why we’ll do crazy things to get our hands on a Chocolate Bar.
Chocolate is versatile and you can drink Chocolate or eat Chocolate, melt Chocolate or freeze Chocolate, have Chocolate bitter or have Chocolate sweet and there are a few of the ways we can enjoy Chocolate, and everyone seems to have a strongly preferred favorite.
But this versatility is what makes Chocolate such an exciting ingredient to include in dishes. Chocolate has a sweetness or but Chocolate can also have a bitterness to an otherwise acidic or spicy meal, as in Mole, or Chocolate can complement nicely the salty notes of, Potato Chips. There’s plenty of room for creativity on National Chocolate Covered Anything Day.
Now, lets talk about Dark Chocolate which is any bar that contains between 70 and 85 percent Cocoa. In Dark Chocolate this is ample health benefits you can get from what many believe to be merely a dessert. Although Charlie and I don’t care for Dark Chocolate. What about you?
Did you know in 100 grams of Dark Chocolate, you receive almost 100 percent of the daily recommended intake of Manganese, nearly 90 percent of necessary Copper intake, and about 67 percent of your needed Iron intake. So as you’re covering that Oreo Cookie in Dark Chocolate on December 16th, you can tell everyone you’re having Chocolate for your health.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
