As the holiday season approaches, the delightful and iconic Chocolate Santas begin to fill candy dishes and Christmas stockings, bringing joy and sweetness to the festivities. The tradition of chocolate Santas dates back to the 19th century, closely tied to the story of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of children.
