We've got a few ways for you to celebrate. First, try whipping up a chocolate confection in honor of National Chocolate Day. We suggest 427's Chocolate Beet Cake (shown above), Quadruple Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate Chow Mein Noodles or Vanilla Hot Chocolate.
Next, consider eating chocolate with unlikely ingredients. Vosges' Mo's Chocolate Bacon Bar comes to mind. Scharffen Berger's Chocolate Adventure Recipe Contest is still accepting submissions -- you just have to combine chocolate with one of 16 exotic ingredients: paprika, cumin, smoked sea salt, papaya, rice flour, black-eyed peas, peanut butter (OK not that exotic), Malbec, fresh or whole dried chili pepper, cacao nibs, raw honey, sumac, banana leaf, pandan leaf, crystallized ginger and fresh mint. Two winners will get $10,000.
Or just ponder chocolate in all its forms, from chocolate skulls and radioactive chocolate to Baker's chocolate.

Hi all....I'm a LONG time chocoholic here, cannot get enough of the stuff......I discovered, (sort of by accident) another great Chocolatier right here in Central PA, called Derry Church Artisan Chocolates, they have some AWESOME flavors and they somehow mix alot of their chocolates with weird spices and flavorings, but the chocolates are very smooth and great flavors! My Mom bought me some of these for a special occasion, but I think they sell online at their website:
