The 22nd of June is Chocolate Eclair Day.

To really celebrate today, you could have one at breakfast, one at lunch and one at dinner!

Do you prefer chocolate eclairs with milk chocolate or with dark chocolate on top? Or what about white chocolate?

Eclairs are a lot of work to make at home — first you have to know how to make choux pastry.

But you can typically buy them from an in-store bakery at a grocery store, or frozen. Though, this could be a good day to skip the chain grocery store and show some love to a local, independent bakery.

If you’re in a rush today, your local latte place may have one you can grab on the go with your coffee or tea.

Today, you may wish to different flavours. The cream fillings in eclairs aren’t all just vanilla anymore: you can get coffee, chocolate, pistachio, raspberry, mango, orange… the list goes on.

History

The earliest print mention of a ‘Chocolate Eclair Day’ in June that CooksInfo is aware of dates from 1997:

“I got this calendar off of the Internet, it’s 365 reasons to party. Not that I need a reason, but it is an interesting calendar. A couple days really caught my eye. For example, June 20th is National Ice Cream Soda Day, June 22 is National Chocolate Eclair Day…” — Pittman, Byron. Something Different. Eldon, Missouri: Eldon Advertiser. Thursday, 19 June 1997. Page B3, col. 4.
