31 Days of Romancing the Chocolate

You can check out some of those posts here.

August 1 = Swiss National Day

August 2 = National Ice Cream Sandwich Day

August 4 = National Chocolate Chip Day; National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day

August 5 = National Waffle Day (there are 2 of these same holidays but this one seems more like an error to me; read below for why)

August 6, 1826 = Birthday of Joseph Storrs Fry II who took over his grandfather’s thriving chocolate business in England. (mostly because I couldn’t find an accurate birthday for the chocolate genius that was Joseph Storrs Fry) To learn more, check out our article about him here.

August 10 = National S’mores Day
                 = Birthday of Henri Nestlé, German Confection and founder of the Nestlé corporation along with Daniel Peter who created the Milk Chocolate bar using Nestlé expertise with condensed milk

I didn't know about all of these special days. S'mores day, soft serve ice cream and Banana Split day sound wonderful to me.
