In Case You’re Not Familiar With This Very Delicious Day…
World Chocolate Day is a relatively new holiday since it only started in 2009 as a way to celebrate a very historical & special moment: the day that the European continent was introduced to chocolate back on July 7 of 1550!
Cacao and their derived products were taken back to the Old Continent by Christopher Columbus & Hernán Cortés’s colonial trips and from then on the love for these delicious beans hasn’t subsided.
Cacao—and hence chocolate—was quickly adopted as an aristocratic elixir in European societies and it became even more popular thanks to its awesome health benefits as well.
All we gotta say is that we’re immensely grateful for having this spectacular product as one of our macaron flavors’ and pastries’ main components… we simply love it!
How Can You Sweeten up This Holiday?
Well, by eating huge amounts of chocolate in all their shapes & forms, of course! But this year don’t just go for the usual sweets that you can get at your nearest convenience store, choose something that will really dazzle & stun your taste buds (like our chocolate macarons!).
On this blog, we’ll present you with some of the best chocolaty products that will surely make your celebration soooo much more mouthwatering and memorable. Read on and get delighted.

Let’s Go Back to the Roots!
Since cacao beans are originally from Central America, why not pay homage to their origins? If you’ve never ever heard from the Spicy Maya Drinking Chocolate, we’re glad to introduce you to it.
This creamy, delicious, and slightly spicy drink is inspired by the Mayan xocolatl: a delicious blend that combines rich cacao beans (preferably from Central America) with traditional Mayan spices plus a little bit of chili. Yes… we know spice & chocolate sounds a little bit weird, but trust us on this one!
If you want to try it out check out this spectacular drink, get your hands on a Chuao Chocolatier Mayan Chocolate blend, it’ll have you drinking cup after cup.

Chocolate Cake Truffles AKA Cake Pops?
Yes. Who doesn’t LOVE some delicious balls of chocolate cake mixed with frosting and dipped in delicious chocolate? We very much do!
What’s best about them is that they’re so easy to make which means that getting some kiddo hands in there will always make for a fun day. Get creative: add some sprinkles and some food coloring, play with their covers, and have a delicious day full of mouthwatering truffles.
If you’d rather not go through the trouble of making them, we really love Milk Bar and New York Cake Pop’s cake truffles.
