National Chocolate Day
What is National Chocolate Day?
February 9 is National Chocolate Day. And it’s an ideal lead-up to Valentine’s Day. Today is a great day to express the sweetness of love by sharing chocolate with a special someone – or some special people — in your life. So, go ahead and indulge. You won’t be alone. Americans spend about $22 billion on chocolate each year, and the average American eats about 1 pound of chocolate per month!
How can you make National Chocolate Day more fun?
One way to make the day more fun is to try out a new chocolate recipe. And we at Weaver Furniture Sales, want to help. That’s why we recommend the Magnolia Island Set.

Pull up some stools, and the island doubles as the ideal gathering spot! Best of all, the Magnolia Island Set is ready for pickup.
Are the Amish known for baking?
Absolutely. Amish women are renown for baking delicious items like breads, pies – including shoofly pie – sticky buns and donuts. Chocolate is a favorite ingredient Amish women use in treats like chocolate cake, chocolate pudding cake, chocolate pie, whoopie pie, fudge pudding cake and fudge brownies.
Why do the Amish excel at baking?
The Amish have become famous for their baked goods because of their traditions, large families, and tourism. Amish folk eschew materialism, engage in farming, and have large families. So, baking delicious desserts has become part of the tradition. What’s more, members of the Amish community often gather for communal events — such as Sunday services, barn raisings, and public auctions. Desserts, in the form of baked products, are a traditional part of these events. Amish folk also sell baked items at farmer’s markets and tourist attractions in Amish communities across the USA.
