Every year on the 7th of July, it is World Chocolate day. Is there anyone on earth that does not like chocolate? Take the 7th of July as the perfect day and the ideal excuse to eat lots of chocolate. I'm a certified chocolate lover so there's no need for me to wait for this day.  Did you know that there are even researchers out there who reckon chocolate is even better for you than vegetables?

1. Utilise promotional chocolates effectively.
2. Host engaging chocolate-themed events.
3. Embrace chocolate's health benefits.

Promotional Chocolates

At around this time of year, I always recommend promotional chocolates as a fabulous option for tradeshows and conferences. This time of year is when I can safely assure my clients that their promotional chocolates will not melt. After all, it is still winter, and quite cold in all the states in Australia. The most popular type of custom-branded chocolate we sell is M&M's. I really love the Toblerones with custom branded packaging though.

I love milk and white chocolate, although I have been told that eating white chocolate is pointless. But hey! It tastes so yum. On world chocolate day, eat any chocolate.

- Chocolate brownies
- Chocolate ice cream
- Chocolate bars
- M&M chocolate
- Chocolate cake

To celebrate world chocolate day, eat lots of chocolate and share it on social media!

Health Benefits of Chocolates

Did you know that chocolate is a vegetable? After all, it comes from the cacao bean. So if it is a vegetable, you need to eat more of it. However, white chocolate, is not chocolate, as it does not have any cocoa in it.

So, Who says indulging in some chocolate is bad for you? Contrary to popular belief, choccie has a range of health benefits. Research shows that moderate consumption of dark chocolate can improve heart health and even reduce the risk of stroke! Plus, it's loaded with antioxidants which are fantastic for your overall well-being.

Next time you reach for that block of dark goodness, don't feel guilty - just remember the golden rule: all good things in moderation!

World Chocolate Day is definitely one day worth celebrating (in our opinion!). Whether you're a milk or dark chocolate lover, there's no denying how scrumptious and satisfying a great quality piece of chocolate can be. With so many different options out there these days – from bars to brownies and even custom promotional chocolates – everyone can join in on the silkiest, smoothest holiday around.

Make sure you've got enough delicious choccie stashed away when July 7th rolls around – after all, as we now know thanks to science (!), it technically qualifies as one serving of vegetables... right?!
