This year on Saturday, October 28, National Chocolate Day makes a pleasant return. To be honest, though, we don’t need a calendar-related excuse to indulge in chocolate. This is a year-round, in-season celebration.
NFL stadiums are stepping it up this football season with a menu of decadent chocolate delights. This is a playbook of the best five chocolate desserts that will make your game day experience even more enjoyable.
1. Frozen Hot Chocolate

It’s the ideal partner to maintain your cool when Kirk Cousins and the Vikings light up the field.
2. Dessert Nachos
Lions Ford Field, Detroit
Tradition gets a delicious twist at Ford Field. With fried tortilla chips coated in sugar and cinnamon, wrapped in chocolate-covered Michigan cherries, Nutella sauce (smoked chocolate cherry), sprinkles and a heap of whipped cream, the Dessert Nachos are a flavorful fiesta. A delicious touchdown in a bowl!
