October 28th is National Chocolate Day in the United States, and I chose to write about this topic because I love chocolate so much that it heals me when I’m sad or emotional. In my opinion, it warms the heart. Milton S. Hershey, founder of the Hershey brand, has been attributed as the founder of this holiday, though the date is celebrated at different times around the world. What’s your favorite type of chocolate?
