It might be back-to-school time, but we refuse to believe summer’s over until it’s official!
One way to keep the summer fun coming — September Food Holidays.
Here’s some of our favorite food holidays certain to end summer with a bang.
September 2 – International Bacon Day
It’s only fitting that the last sizzling days of summer would be spent celebrating sizzling food favorite – bacon!
Let’s mix things up and bring this breakfast favorite to the dessert table.
For a bacon snack that will add a pop of excitement to your social feed, there’s Bacon Pops. Hand poured lollipops that look like a piece of bacon with real bacon bits inside will “bacon” you crazy.
For an added touch of elegance to your bacon celebration, there’s Vosges Mo’s Bacon Milk Chocolate Bar. The gourmet chocolatier brings together smoked uncured bacon, Alderwood smoked salt, and milk chocolate for a creamy, crunchy, smoky sweet bite.
September 4 – Macadamia Nut Day
What better way to celebrate Labor Day this year than with a taste of the tropics from Macadamia nuts?
Macadamia’s luxurious, nutty flavor lends itself to baked goods. That’s why we love celebrating the day with crispy, buttery Tate’s White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies.
If you plan on celebrating while on the go, Macadamia nuts do make an appearance in snack bars too. Like CLIF Bar® White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Energy Bars.
September 5 – Cheese Pizza Day
Cheese pizza is already a party must. But when it’s re-imagined as our favorite sweets and snacks, it’s extra exciting.
For a grand statement at your Cheese Pizza Day celebration, serve Raindrops Giant Gummy Pizza. The oversized gummy looks like the real thing, complete with pizza box for presentation. That the gummy is portioned out into slices makes it easy to share.
Pizza is even more party-portable when the flavors are wrapped up in a crispy pretzel. Like snacking favorite, Combos Pizzeria Pretzels.
September 13 – Peanut Day
Time to celebrate the nut we’re just nuts about – peanuts!
Let’s get the party started with nostalgic candy favorite, Goldenberg’s Original Dark Chocolate Peanut Chews. The iconic bar featuring chocolate covering a crunchy peanut and chewy caramel center will instantly have you traveling down memory lane.
Some say white after Labor Day is a no-no. Nassau Candy’s Yogurt Peanuts is one time where white after Labor Day IS ok. The creamy yogurt coating adds the perfect touch of sweetness to salty peanuts. AND it looks so elegant too!
September 18 – Cheeseburger Day
Nothing like winding down summer with cookout favorite – the Cheeseburger.
Don’t think you need to stick with savory foods and snacks. There are tons of ways to celebrate the “bun that we want” with cheeseburger-inspired sweets.
One of the most interactive – the Dip-N-Lik Fast Burger Lollipop with Candy Powder. The stackable container might look like a burger. But peel back the layers, and you’ll find blue raspberry or strawberry powdered candy at the center. A lollipop is in the top bun that you can dip in the powder for a flavorful experience.
efrutti is always good for fun-flavored, exquisitely detailed gummies. That’s why we recommend the efrutti Sour Mini Burger for your cheeseburger celebration too. Each individually wrapped mini burger packs a sour punch that’s like a party in every bite.
September 22 – Ice Cream Cone Day
We all have a little soft spot for the cool treat that comes in a cone — ice cream cones!
If you’re looking for a mess-free way to celebrate, there’s Amusemints Gummy Ice Cream Cones Peg Bag. Each mini two-toned gummy looks like a real ice cream cone and is full of fruit flavor. The colorful peg bag creates the perfect presentation for your National Ice Cream Cone Day celebration.
Another cool idea. Mark Ice Cream Cone Day by enjoying Snow Cone Mallow Cones. Each crisp wafer mini cone is filled with a fluffy sweet marshmallow topping for a fun a fluffy way to celebrate.
September 23 – White Chocolate Day
September marks to the first day of fall. What a better way to recognize the cooler months than with a confection that looks like snow like white chocolate?
For a pop of festive color, then snack on Nassau Candy White Nonpareils. Their colorful nonpareils sprinkles not only add color to the creamy confection, they add some fun crunch too!
Celebrations are a time to get fancy. Up the glamor and sophistication of your get together with Nassau Candy White Chocolatey Coated Stem Cherries. With a white chocolatey shell and a liquid cherry center, surrounding a whole stem cherry, Nassau Candy White Chocolatey Coated Stem Cherries are the perfect snack to transition from summer to fall.
September 26 – Key Lime Pie Day
Summer might be officially over, but we’re going to keep the summer feeling going. Let’s celebrate tropical dessert favorite, the Key Lime Pie.
Pies take a looong time to make. So instead, celebrate all the key lime flavors without having to bake with Nassau Candy Key Lime Fruit Slices. Their vivid lime color is bright and cheery, and the tangy flavor cannot be beat.
Here’s another refreshing idea – you can honor Key Lime Pies by sipping on Melba’s Fixins Key Lime Pie Soda. This Key Lime Pie Soda captures the mouth-puckering tartness of key limes, and the smooth creamy finish of a dollop of whipped cream.
September 29 – Mocha/Coffee Day
A day dedicated to celebrating the combination of chocolate and coffee is just MADE for celebrating with sweets.
Perk up your chocolate and coffee celebration with a touch of crunch like Nassau Candy Dark Chocolate Espresso Malt Balls. There’s ground coffee in the chocolate that surrounds the malted center for a fun twist on the classic.
If you’re looking to experience “Deja brew,” then celebrate with an old-time candy favorite like Taffy Town Chocolate Caramel Mocha Salt Water Taffy.
September’s the time to squeeze every little bit of summer out before the temps drop. Food holidays easily bring the summertime fun. Simply stock up on the honored food, open and enjoy!
