#NationalDessertDay : Kisses and Caramel Brownies

Posted by TL Wilkins on

No one knows for sure when National Dessert Day was started in the United States, but what is definitely known is that no one is objecting to it!!! #NationalDessertDay

National Dessert Day / National Dessert Month / Food Holiday Observances

Celebrated annually on October 14th, National Dessert Day is for people to satisfy their sweet tooth and to go ahead and enjoy the dessert of their choice. It’s a holiday that is celebrated in the United States and shouldn’t be confused with Eat an Extra Dessert Day…which is celebrated on September 4th each year. However, it is a day designated for you to go ahead and bake one of your favorite desserts or perhaps, take advantage of one of the sweet freebies which are offered on this day!
