Celebrate 365 Chocolate

Another great reason to celebrate chocolate is Valentine’s Day. As of 2018, more than 16 thousand people celebrate a wedding anniversary on Valentine’s Day. Plus, it’s a pretty popular day to pop the question. It’s also estimated that 58 million (yep, you read that right) pounds of chocolate is purchased prior to the holiday. I say skip buying it and make your honey something delicious. More importantly, I hope this round up will give you inspiration for your sweetheart.
