Important announcement for Chocoholics!

Summary Background Color: Purple

If you’re a true chocoholic you’ll know what a special day 28 October is…. National Chocolate Day! And while that mean you might be tempted to indulge in this sweet treat all day long, it’s probably not the best idea! Some people try to convince us that chocolate is actually good for us – it’s believed to contain high levels of antioxidants which may help to protect our cells from damage. Some studies have also suggested that chocolate could lower cholesterol, but it’s important to remember it does contain a high number of calories and so if you’re watching your weight, you’ll only want to eat it in moderation.

If you’re in the mood for chocolate and want to pay tribute to it on the 28 October, where can you go in Solihull to indulge your sweet tooth?
