November 29th is National Chocolates Day in the United States.
This day is a celebration of chocolate in its oh so many different forms. There are, in fact, so many different types of chocolate that it's hard to pick where to begin.
The most basic forms are, of course, the simple chocolate bars. These can come in white, milk or dark (also called bittersweet) chocolate. These are broad categories, and the actual names, as well as what makes a chocolate fall into a particular category, vary in different regions and countries. The simple chocolate bar can then have things added to it, nuts being a popular addition.
Spreading out from the chocolate bar includes anything that contains chocolate. This includes sweets, or candies, biscuits, or cookies, and desserts and cakes. It can also include chocolate based drinks.
Although chocolate is often considered to be a sweet food, there are many savoury dishes that include it, and it was, in fact, originally used in savoury foods.
