National Chocolate-Covered Nut Day, celebrated every year on February 25, is a tribute to one of the world’s most irresistible snack pairings: crunchy nuts wrapped in silky chocolate. Sweet meets savory. Smooth meets crisp. And somehow, it never gets old.
From classic chocolate-covered peanuts at the movies to gourmet dark chocolate almonds in artisan gift boxes, this day is all about honoring a treat that’s simple, and satisfying.
