Kids may have to wait until Monday, Oct. 31 to dress up in costumes, go door to door and get all the free candy they desire, but grown-ups can take advantage of an even better deal the Friday before the big day, because it's National Chocolate Day, and there are ways to get free and discounted chocolates as a result.  

A nice bonus for the adults is that though they may still need to pay for their treats, whereas their kids will get theirs for free, the ones for adults are definitely going to be different from the ones their kids get. Without knocking Hershey's Chocolates Nestle and Mars, because sometimes nothing hits the spot better than a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, Crunch or Snickers Bar, the chocolate quality the parents can get may be on pat with say, Ghirardelli, Godiva and Lindt, just to name a few.
