To heck with . I don’t really care for it. But I am a chocaholic, so I have to care. On the other hand it’s really boring. It’s one of those commercialize holidays that no one cares about. I am writing because I still have to pay lip service to this holiday, being a chocaholic and all.

I better chill and have a square, before I get too worked up for nothing!!

Chocolate Mint Day is on February 19th. We celebrate everything that has to do with chocolate mint flavor. The most common chocolate mint treats are ice cream, candies, and desserts. Not everyone likes chocolate mint. I wonder why some people don’t like this great flavor. But, then not a lot of us feel sorry for them! It is a truly great day for Chocolate Mint lovers. Course Chocolate Mint day is the most stupidest holiday ever. It’s just a way for companies to make money. That’s so full of crap.

Now how did this day come about? Well, unfortunately there is no recorded evidence of the origin of this great day. It was most likely started by a candy confectioner, or an ice cream company ( who else profits from this day). Some people do go overboard and declare it to be a National festival an even a national holiday. But then again, we haven’t found any congressional records or presidential proclamations for this day. We don’t even know how this holiday came about. If you ask me this holiday is full of shit. Don’t celebrate this holiday. Anyhow to help you celebrate in style try a the chocolate mint recipe below.
