This Saturday, July 28th, is National Milk Chocolate Day. Sure, dark chocolate boasts antioxidants, and white chocolate molds perfectly for homemade candies. But something about the smooth, delightful taste of milk chocolate brings a smile to the face of every chocolate lover. As you know by now, we never pass up a celebration opportunity at Adams Crossing, so here is a list of our favorite milk chocolate recipes to make on Saturday.

The perfect combination of salty and sweet, this recipe displays milk chocolate’s versatility. If you’re pressed for time, you can achieve a similar effect by melting milk chocolate on the stovetop and dipping pretzel rods in it. Lay out on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set.
Milk Chocolate Frosted Layer Cake

When we hear “layers,” we think “more room for milk chocolate.” This cake perfects the ratio of cake to icing with creamy, almost ganache-like frosting.
Milk Chocolate Brownies

We know what you’re thinking. “I can just buy box brownies, and no one will know the difference.” We agree that brownies from a mix usually do the trick, but Milk Chocolate Day requires you to step up your brownie game a few notches. The frosting in the picture is not included in the recipe, so steal this milk chocolate frosting recipe for your brownies’ finishing touch.
