<p>Pick a day, any day, ALWAYS something to celebrate it seems…</p>

<p>Today is National Chocolate Day. <a href=“http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2014/10/27/october-28-2014-national-chocolate-day/”>http://nationaldaycalendar.com/2014/10/27/october-28-2014-national-chocolate-day/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Now, I’m not encouraging OVER eating, but share how you have indulged in this national day of celebration TODAY.</p>

<p>I’ll start. Just enjoyed a Halloween pack of Reeses minis - 4 mini-mini Reeces cups. :)</p>

<p>Who’s up for the challenge???! </p>

2

<p>This is s challenge? Everyday is national chocolate day. :)</p>

<p>I am going to have some mocha ice cream with chocolate chips in it… For starters. :)</p>

3

<p>Oh, that sounds delicious dstark! Mocha ice cream!!!</p>

4

<p>I like Reeces cups too. Had them yesterday. </p>

<p>I have to be careful with the mocha ice cream. My self control isnt that good. :)</p>

5

<p>Not wanting to be the instigator of a sudden influx of people on the Weight Loss For Dummies or Diet/Exercise thread, I will also encourage chocolate self control. ;)</p>

6

<p>Lol!</p>

7

<p>I keep a bag of Hershey Kisses in the fridge. Allow myself 2 a day. It handles my chocoholic tendencies in an easy to portion format. Good things in moderation!</p>

8

<p>I will take up the challenge. Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate square here I come.</p>

9

<p>Can I wait a day? I’ve got the blood work for my physical tomorrow, so I’m trying to be good today.</p>

10

<p>I bought some swiss chocolate mini-bars in a bag at Costco Ontario–2.5 pounds for $15! I will eat one or more and give out a few to folks I see today. They’re yummy & I gave a few for my sister’s 50th birthday lunch we celebrated on Saturday at Neiman Marcus with sisters, mom and SisIL.</p>

<p>shellfell you could celebrate by buying today and saving for tomorrow :smile:<br>
I made some double chocolate pumpkin cookies (easy 3 ingredients) that are not too bad for you. </p>

12

<p>Three ingredients…pumpkin, chocolate cake mix and chocolate chips??? (trying to take a guess…)</p>

13

<p>Yes, you can also use brownie mix. </p>

14

<p>Bought my son a ChocoLove bar - will have a square with him when he gets home from school. </p>

<p>Reading this thread, it appears that there are people who do not keep chocolate in the house? And do not eat chocolate every night?</p>

<p>Thanks for the heads-up @abasket as I had no idea that today was a day to overindulge more than I usually do!</p>

<p>Lindt European Specialties are my weakness.<br>

<p>Gelato for me tonight.</p>

17

<p>DH brought home a small chocolate anniversary cake last night for supper, so I will force myself to have another small piece today. If DS doesn’t beat me to it.</p>

18

<p>Things you learn on CC.
I haven’t celebrated today but I do have book club tonight. I can hope the person bringing dessert know that it is a holiday.</p>

19

<p>I did not do my part today. However, does it count that yesterday on my way to go running, I stopped at the grocery store and got a Seattle Chocolates peanut butter bar, sat in the park and ate it, and then left before going running?</p>

<p>@busdriver, ALWAYS a good idea to get a jump start on a “holiday”!!!</p>
