National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day

National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day celebrates the combination of creamy chocolate and buttery, crunchy cashews. Also known as National Chocolate-Covered Cashew Truffle Day, it is observed annually on April 21. The holiday’s documented descriptions offer no specific information about when it began, why April 21 was chosen, or who initiated it.

Cashews come from a tree in the Anacardiaceae family. The tree is native to northeastern Brazil and is now grown in tropical climates. Its English name comes from caju, the Portuguese word for the cashew tree’s fruit. The cashew shell contains toxic substances, so cashews must be shelled before they are sold to consumers.

Chocolate-covered cashews can be enjoyed as a snack or given as a sweet gift. Suggested variations include dark, milk, or white chocolate, as well as salted cashews. A food-focused celebration guide also describes making them at home by melting chocolate, dipping the cashews, and letting them cool.

How to Observe National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day
