National Chocolate Covered Nuts Day is celebrated worldwide every February 25. This holiday honors the delightful combination of chocolate and nuts, which has been enjoyed since ancient times, with various cultures including the Romans, Greeks, and Native Americans incorporating nuts into their diets. The introduction of chocolate to Europe in the 17th century, thanks to the Aztecs and Mayas, led to the popular pairing of chocolate with nuts by the mid-18th century. Among the most popular chocolate-covered nuts are chocolate-covered peanuts, which were first marketed as "Goobers" in 1925. Additionally, M&M's, introduced in 1954, became a well-known candy featuring chocolate-coated nuts, with their slogan emphasizing their unique quality. This day is a celebration of these sweet treats and the enjoyment they bring to people.
