Celebrated annually on July 7th, World Chocolate Day honors the anniversary of the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550. While some chocolate is high in calories, added sugars, and highly processed ingredients, dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and has less sugar than milk chocolate! Add some with nuts and dried berries for a perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up, to put some pep in your step, and power through your workday!
