It’s National Dessert Day! Here’s how to get ALL the sweet freebies

The most important day of the year has arrived.  We’re talking about National Dessert Day, obviously. Today is officially the day when it’s totally fine to eat dessert for every meal, before meals, after meals or in-between meals. Whatever you want to do — you’re the boss of you and your dessert.

The dessert spectrum is so broad. It includes everything from pie, to cookies, to ice cream, to pastries, to cake, to brownies, to sorbet, to chocolate, to candy, to OMG we want dessert immediately. The dessert opportunities are endless — whether you want to go out to get it or make it at home.

To celebrate the big day, Offers.com has offered (yep) up some tips on where to go to get some dessert giveaways. We are sharing them with you because we recognize the importance of dessert in our lives and probably your lives too. Because dessert is fun, delicious and makes our mouths happy. And when said dessert is free, well it’d be rude to keep that info to ourselves.

So without further ado, here’s a list of some of the restaurants giving away desserts today. Most of them require a purchase, a coupon or signing up for an email list, but free dessert is worth it (and email lists are super easy to unsubscribe from. . . just sayin’).
