PHILADELPHIA (CNN) -- Get ready to celebrate all things chocolate -- as if you need an excuse. Monday is National Chocolate Day.

You can mark the day by simply enjoying chocolate chip cookies or chocolate candy.

You could also enjoy a chocolate dessert at home or a restaurant, or host a chocolate tasting party, in which people bring a homemade chocolate dessert to share.

Post photos of your favorite chocolate treats to the social media using the hashtag "National Chocolate Day."
