As crazy as this holiday sounds, there is some history behind it and how it all started. Casparus van Houten Sr developed a process to separate cocoa solids from the butter. In 1828, his creation brought a candy revolution which has led to the most amazing ingredient we have today which is chocolate. 

Julius Sturgis opened up a bakery in a house that was built around 1784 in Lititz, Pennsylvania. Julius used a recipe given to him by a friend that remains unknown. However long hard pretzels were made before then are completely unknown.

Fatty Sundays founded National Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day in 2019 to celebrate the delicious treat of all time.
