National Chocolate Mint Day
On February 19th, National Chocolate Mint Day is celebrated annually around the world, and is recognized by the US National Confectioners Association. This holiday has been set aside for all the chocolate mint lovers to enjoy their favorite treats all day long...
The Aztecs and Mayans are praised for their chocolate makings. Although chocolate was returned to Europeans, they weren't keen on the dark, bitter bean, so they used more for medicinal purposes.
To make it more palatable, Europeans mixed mint, cinnamon, and other spices as it was mostly consumed as a hot beverage. They added sugar over time, and the combination of chocolate and mint became popular.
Fast forward to the mid-1900s, when inventions and improvements in processes made it possible for confectioners to begin mass-producing chocolates... And then, small candy stores served a local audience. Advertisements for mint chocolates, or chocolate mints, did not appear in newspapers until the turn of the century.
In New York, Huyler's was one of the first mass-producers of chocolate mints.. Their chain of stores has grown throughout the United States.
We find mint chocolate in everything from ice cream to brownies, cookies, and candies, as well as liquors and sauces. Girl Scouts first sold Thin Mint cookies in 1953 and are now their most popular cookie.. Mint chocolate is also the name of an herb with edible leaves that tastes like chocolate and mint...
