September 22nd is one of the sweetest holidays of the year – it’s National White Chocolate Day! In fact, there are several days of the year dedicated to decadent chocolate. There is Chocolate Day, National Chocolate Day, National Chocolate Milkshake Day, World Chocolate Day and National Fudge Day, to name a few.
The United States has enjoyed white chocolate since the 1950s. Did you know that white chocolate contains sugar, milk solids and cocoa butter? Technically, there is no chocolate in white chocolate! While some people celebrate National White Chocolate Day on September 22nd, others celebrate it on September 23. Why not celebrate on both days just to make sure you don’t miss it?
