This isn’t a hoax. While Halloween is the pinnacle of sweet treats, you don’t have to wait until next month to indulge. Celebrate International Chocolate Day on Sept. 13 and National Chocolate Day on Oct. 28 with any type of decadent delight you want. Some may be loyal to milk chocolate or white chocolate, but remember, to boost its health benefits while treating yourself, opt for dark chocolate with more than 75% cocoa. There’s no better way to celebrate cocoa than by supporting the Delray Beach-based chocolate factory, 5150 Chocolate, where you can get a behind-the-scenes look at the chocolate-making process to see firsthand that the treats you buy from them are made with only the finest ingredients.
