Appley chocolate and chocolatey apples

Today is Chocolate Day.  Hurrah.  You know what this means, right?  Yep, you guessed it, everybody is allowed to eat lots of chocolate.  About time too.  What's more, we've just read that eating chocolate cake can help people lose weight.  This is FANTASTIC news.  Chocolate cake for breakfast all round me thinks.  Click on the delightful looking chocolate cake below and visit the Daily Mirror link for more information.

As well as chocolate, we are also celebrating apples.  Why?  Because it's National Bramley Apple Week of course.  All these national days need to be abided by so I think it only right that we pay our respects to the apple as well.  I thought long and hard about how we could do this best and I think the solution is to combine the apples and the chocolate and have one massive celebration.  We could create appley chocolate or even chocolatey apples!  We could also make some delicious desserts using both ingredients. Granted, the apples may not necessarily be Bramley apples but hey, they're all part of the same family.

Here are some of our suggestions on how you can enjoy both apples and chocolate together:

1. Drink Apple Simply Nectar and munch on an organic chocolate bar such as Go*Do.  Mmmm

2. Tuck into a fabulous What On Earth Organic Chocolate Cheesecake and either top it with apple slices or eat it with some apple sauce. Yum

3. Create some Chocolate-dipped apples - they're a step up from toffee apples!  The image below is taken from Food Network.  Visit the site now for their amazing chocolate-dipped apples recipe.

Right, is that enough suggestions?  I hope so.  They will keep you busy for hours so get into that kitchen and see what you can come up with.  We hope you enjoy all the apples and chocolate.  We certainly will!

Simply appley chocolate.
