World Chocolate Day 2022

Celebrate chocolate on July 7th 2022

For most of us, chocolate is a wonderful thing, whether you love dark, milk, or white chocolate, they give you a great sensation of happiest with every taste. And that’s because chocolate triggers endorphins to be released in our brains, filling us with joy and making us smile.

The cocao bean, which chocolate is made from, is native to Mexico, as well as south and central America. More recently the plant has been transplanted into the U.S.A and some other European countries to increase the crop yield to keep up with the high consumer demand.

Around 1 billion people from around the world eat chocolates every day and it may surprise you to know that it actually has some health benefits. Dark chocolate is the healthiest of the choices as it contains fibre and other minerals, as well as some antioxidants. So, some believe that eating a single square of dark chocolate, with at least 70% cocoa content, a day will bring some health benefits, while also squashing cravings for more of the sweet stuff.

And there is a day where we can all be a little bit naughty to indulge in our favourite treats, on the 7th of July 2022 it’s World Chocolate Day! Now, we incorporate chocolate in a fair few of our cakes, so we think it’s a great way to celebrate this delicious and delightful treat. And we also have a great range of chocolate brownies to celebrate with as well.
