Did you know?

• According to the National Day Calendar, chocolate was originally consumed as a hot beverage for medicinal purposes. Europeans weren’t fans of how bitter it was, so they started adding mint, cinnamon and other spices to make it more palatable.
• One of the first mass-producers of chocolate mints was Huyler’s in New York.
• Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies were first sold in the early 50’s … and are still the most popular flavor today!
