Fruit is great. Peanut butter is great. Pretzels are great. What do these things have in common? They're all even better when they're covered in chocolate. Keep reading to find some ideas for how you can celebrate Chocolate-Covered Anything Day on December 16th.
1. Strawberries
You can't go wrong with this classic.
2. Pound Cake
Just like fondue, but even better. For a boozy twist, you might even be inspired to sprinkle some rum on the cake before covering it in chocolate.
3. Pretzels
You won't be able to pass up your favorite combination of salty and sweet.
4. Potato Chips
Potato chips and chocolate sure seems like a strange combination, but it's certainly gained popularity over the last few years.
5. Buckeyes
Just your classic peanut butter and chocolate pairing. You can't go wrong with this one.
6. Bacon
If you're not drooling by now, we can't be friends.
7. Popcorn
For a lighter snack, try drizzling some melted chocolate over fresh popcorn. You'll be addicted before you know it.
8. Chili Peppers
You just need a little sweet to balance out the heat.
9. Roses
Rose-flavored candies are surprisingly delicious. Who knew you could just bring the candy to the rose?
10. Scorpions
This is for those of you who are feeling a little more adventurous. I think I'll take a pass, though.
11. Bananas
Freeze the bananas beforehand dipping them in chocolate, and you'll have yourself a delicious frosty pop.
12. Graham Crackers
Because, duh, s'mores! Maybe add some mini marshmallows or some marshmallow fluff to kick this snack up to another level.
13. Cheesecake Bites
There's no way you'll be able to resist these bite-size nuggets of heaven.
14. Almonds
Chocolate-covered almonds are definitely one of my favorite snacks. But don't limit yourself to almonds - try out other nuts like peanuts, walnuts, or even cashews. And don't forget raisins! The possibilities are endless.
15. Brownies
Because you absolutely need chocolate on top of your chocolate. Yes please, I'll take two.
