Oh yes, it’s true! An actual day to celebrate chocolate and therefore chocoholics 🙂

I don’t think of myself as a sweet person (tastes and personality!) I can go months without having a chocolate but then at other times I could sit and eat bar after bar or a whole box.

So here are my thoughts on chocolate:

• Chocolate reminds me of Christmas, family traditions from my own childhood and now for my own children. Breaking out some special chocs. Chocolate coins in our stockings, yum!

• I actually have a mocha everyday so maybe I do need a daily chocolate fix…

• Chocolate is art. Whether is is a beautifully decorated truffle or a fabulous dessert, the craftsmanship that goes into chocolate creations is amazing.

• Allergen free and diabetic chocolate are making chocs accessible to those who might normally be denied it. My allergy consultant has warned that I grow into allergies and dairy could be next… 🙁

• Hot chocolate on a winter’s night surrounded by family and friends, perfect way to warm up

• Easter eggs, again the link to my childhood and family traditions. I have to share my creme eggs now 🙁

So how about you? What role does chocolate play in your life?
