Chocolate with Almonds Day

Life is like a box of chocolates,
especially when there’s lots of nuts.

Do you ever wonder why the combination of almonds and chocolate is so irresistible? Maybe it’s because the chocolate brings out the nutty, crunchy goodness of the almonds, or maybe it’s because there’s a mythological legend about a chocolate-covered almond that was so delicious, it caused a war between the gods. Okay, we made that up, but it’s still a great reason to celebrate Chocolate with Almonds Day on July 8th!

How it all began. 

The origins of this holiday are shrouded in magical mystery, but some say it began as a way to honor the nutty little almonds that make chocolate even more delightful. Others say it was created by a group of chocolatiers who wanted to boost sales of their latest creation.
Either way, we’re not complaining.

July 8 is the perfect day to celebrate this holiday because it’s right in the middle of summer, and who doesn’t love a sweet treat on a hot day? Almonds add a nice crunch to the creamy texture of chocolate, making it the perfect snack for any occasion.
What better day to celebrate than in the middle of summer when everyone could use a sweet treat to cool down?

Why Almonds with chocolate?

But why do almonds go so well with chocolate? Well, almonds have a unique flavor profile that pairs perfectly with the richness of chocolate. They’re also less oily than other nuts, which means they won’t leave that greasy film in your mouth. And let’s not forget about the satisfying crunch that almonds bring to the table.

How to celebrate

Now, to prepare for this holiday, we suggest stocking up on your favorite chocolate and almond treats. Maybe it’s a bag of chocolate-covered almonds, or maybe it’s a batch of homemade almond butter cups.

Safety tips

As for safety tips, be careful not to choke on any whole almonds, and avoid eating too much chocolate too quickly, or you might get a stomach ache.
And as delicious as almonds and chocolate may be, they are still high in calories and sugar, so be sure to enjoy them in moderation. Also, be aware of any nut allergies before indulging in these treats.
And, for the final warning, these treats are so addictive that you might find yourself hoarding them all to yourself!
