Chocolate Month

Doesn't December seem like the chocolate month?  The celebration of chocolate occurs throughout the year in various holidays.  There are so many -  I checked out chocolate holidays at http://www.holidays-and-observances.com/chocolate-holidays.html Just in December are celebration days every week: National Sacher Torte Day - December 5 National Chocolate Brownie Day - December 8 National Cocoa Day - December 12 National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day - December 16 National Chocolate Day - December 28 and 29 What I really notice in December, though, are the Ferrero chocolate promotions everywhere. And then I got to wondering about nutella, produced by Ferrero. It is considered the most popular hazelnut chocolate flavour in the world.  It seems to me it has to be as Ferraro uses 25% of the global supply of hazelnuts. The wikipedia article on nutella lists the ingredients by country.  So if we travelled around the world, we could experience the many variations of nutella.  There are cafes that serve 'nutella everything' - they are owned by the Nutella company.  There's a Chicago cafe, New York cafe, a Toronto cafe (opened in 2015 and supposedly closed in 2019).  There's a Nutella-Mobile that cycles its way around Eataly NYC.  I wonder if we'll find one in the recently opened Eataly Toronto.   Eataly is in the newly revisioned Manulife Centre retail concourse so a destination I'll be visiting soon. Here's Rosewood Winery pond garden with the snow and ice effects of the recent ice storm.
