CHOCOLATE is one of the most craved foods ever created, so big props to the chocolatiers and farmers for making the world rain with this good old favorite. And with today being World Chocolate Day or International Chocolate Day, it’s all the more reason to go with your instincts and just give in.

Here in the Philippines, locals grew up drinking dark chocolate paired with Mangoes and Budbud and cooked up Champorado with the use of a chocolate tablet. And today, the tradition still lives.

Valuing time-honored tradition is Tabléa Chocolate which joins in on the celebration, as it offers various discounts today through its “Reveal Your Deal” promo, giving you the perfect excuse to go crazy for chocolate today.

Still need more convincing? Here are a few reasons to join in on the celebration.

The history of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Mayan civilization and even earlier. This was referred to as “food for the Gods,” something made only for royalty from rulers, priests to people of nobility. Today, anyone can indulge in it. If you get a craving, a bar of chocolate is available at the nearest convenient store. So self-deprivation is a no-no.

Chocolate may often get a bad rap for its fat and sugar content and such, but along with the sugar rush, it’s also loaded with antioxidants that provide health benefits especially those with higher cocoa content like lowering the cholesterol levels for one. And it even makes you happy that it’s often thought of as the love drug. So go nuts!

Chocolate can be enjoyed in so many different ways that it never fails to surprise you, what with the concoctions people think up. Your chocolate bar could have nuts, fruits and even spices. But more than it being enjoyed different ways, it can be enjoyed any time of the day; and still people can’t get enough of it.
