How precise a national day is this? It's not chocolate, it's not even chocolate with nuts, but it's a specific type of chocolate with a specific type of (culinary) nut.
Bittersweet chocolate is chocolate that has less sugar added than the more sweet types, such as milk chocolate. It also has less, or no, milk added Bittersweet is also known as dark chocolate in other countries. The percentage of cocoa does vary for bittersweet, both within the chocolate type itself and in different countries and regions. The actual components measured also changes. In the US, bittersweet has 35% or more chocolate liquor and 12% or less in milk solids.
Nuts, both culinary and botanical, are always a popular additive to chocolate, and almonds are no exception. Almonds are often added to sweet dishes, but they will usually be cooked (such as by toasting) first.
