There are many dates around the year promoting variations of Chocolate Day. Many chocolate lovers state that July 7 is a real Chocolate Day to be celebrated around the world or, at least, in Europe, since the history of this holiday is connected to the history of chocolate in Europe.

Food historians claim that modern chocolate bars were introduced to Europe on July 7, 1847. This invention belongs to Joseph Fry, an English chocolate maker. He was the first to add melted cacao butter to chocolate to make chocolate moldable. The first milk chocolate appeared in 1857, and since then chocolate makers have gone a long way to improve of its texture and taste to make a perfect bar.

The history of chocolate is very long and complicated. Chocolate has seen many rises and falls, it was adored by public and banned by the church. And still we all love chocolate for its heavenly taste and impressive variety of flavors. Grab your favorite chocolate or give the flavor you've never tasted before a try, and join the celebration of World Chocolate Day.
