October is National Dessert Month. It’s the perfect time to celebrate all things sweet. Read on for some of our favorite ways to honor everyone’s favorite part of a meal: dessert.

Look for Deals

Check out stores in your area for dessert deals. Follow social media accounts to see what special offers may be available throughout the month.

DIY

Take this opportunity to make your own dessert. Whether it’s something you’ve always wanted to try baking or recreating, National Dessert Month is the best time to do so.

Travel for Dessert

Plan a trip around a top dessert destination like Switzerland and Belgium for chocolate, Italy for gelato or Paris for pastries.

Go Over the Top

Visit a restaurant or shop selling an over-the-top dessert, including outrageous milkshakes at Black Tap in New York City, cotton-candy-topped soft serve at CottonHi in Los Angeles and 20-layer chocolate peanut butter cake at Lavo in Las Vegas.

Dessert in Pop Culture

Watch a movie, like Chocolat or Waitress, where dessert takes a starring role.

Explore Other Options

While it’s hard to go wrong with an ice cream sundae or a slice of cake, you may miss out on some interesting desserts. Research traditional desserts from other countries and either try to recreate them on your own or visit a nearby restaurant that offers them on the menu.
