How to celebrate National Chocolate Day
Chocolate molten lava cake. Hey, put your tongue back in your mouth.

Whoever scheduled National Chocolate Day three days before Halloween either had a high metabolism or was a true chocoholic.
We call it trick-or-treat training day.
It’s going to be a sweet week. Here are two ways to celebrate National Chocolate Day, which is more like all week, with your kiddos. Not that anyone needs an excuse to celebrate chocolate.
Turn on the oven
Hold an impromptu fondue party — tonight, after dinner.
Lesson learned hard: There’s actually a little more to making good chocolate fondue than just melting a massive candy bar in the microwave and dipping All Of The Things into it. Check out this easy recipe on how to make chocolate fondu. Hint: The trick here is heavy whipping cream.
Also be careful not to heat the chocolate too hot, or it will burn. After melting it in a double boiler on the stove, keep it just warm enough to stay melty. That’s where a special fondue pot comes in handy.
Pretend to be healthy by providing fruit dippers: strawberries, kiwi, bananas. Your kids will beg you to dip marshmallows and cupcakes and cake in it, but don’t succumb. Until you put them to bed. Then make a peanut butter S’mores and dip that in there. You’re welcome.
No cooking required
Don’t feel like cooking? Order the chocolate directly to your door.
