Since the beginning of time, peanut butter and chocolate have been a necessary pairing. These two ingredients will make your mouth smile, whether you’re enjoying Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and eating delicious peanut butter and chocolate-ice cream. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Day reminds of how incredible these are and makes every day a little more special.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Day is a celebration of the merging of a humble legume into a creamy delicious paste, and a treenut with delusions. Although chocolate may not be experiencing delusions, the result is quite amazing. Peanut butter has been around since the Aztecs. It was unexpectedly used to treat toothache, while chocolate was offered to the gods as a gift and was considered a drink of royalty.

Although we don’t know the exact date, we do know that this was a lucky day for sweet-lovers everywhere. Peanut butter and chocolate can be found in nearly every possible combination. There has never been a moment of culinary regret when the two are combined. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cupcakes, or peanut butter cookies with a drizzle chocolate on top, are great. Peanut Butter and Chocolate Day invites you to combine them in whatever way you like!

A combination of peanut butter and chocolate is the best way to celebrate Peanut butter and Chocolate Day. This peanut butter bar is a great example of how these two ingredients can be combined.
