We have an extensive love for chocolate in our family. My husband is the biggest chocolate fan you’ll ever know. He was more excited than I was to be able to review REAL Belgian chocolate. Here’s a brief introduction about Guylian’s amazing chocolate.
Guylian “ultra-indulgent” luxurious chocolate seashells are 100% pure, silky smooth, dark and white Belgian Chocolate and are filled with rich, decadent creamy chocolate praline truffle. The original signature truffle recipe is still made in small-batch copper kettles exclusively by Guylian’s Master Chocolatiers in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. The chocolates are imported from Belgium to ensure wonderful quality, taste and a true chocolate experience.
Guylian Belgian Chocolates was founded by Guy Foubert. He made homemade chocolate truffles in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. In 1958, Guy married Liliane, together they started a small chocolate company. They combined their names to get Guylian. Sounds like a bit of a love story to me, all that chocolate must have helped too! Now their chocolate is sold in over 100 countries. They still make their chocolate in small-batch copper kettles in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium. Guy’s signature chocolate truffle recipe has been unchanged for more than 50 years and is made with 100% pure cocoa butter.
Now onto the delicious details! First let me say that when they send you a sample its no small package! I was blown away with 9 bars/boxes of chocolate. Then came the best part: Opening them! I started with the chocolate truffles. The chocolate looked beautiful, I’ve never seen chocolate displayed so wonderfully. Adorable little seahorses and shells, I thought for a second that I couldn’t eat a cute little sea horse. Ok, ok that second was gone, now onto the yummy part. The chocolate was soft on the inside, and smooth. It tasted like an amazing blend of chocolatey goodness. I couldn’t stop with just one! Each truffle is made with the finest chocolate with a unique blend of hazelnut preline filling. The quality is Guylian’s top priority, making sure every batch is perfect. To ensure each chocolate maintains its deliciousness Guylian uses a fast quality assurance delivery system. Mine was delivered in a cooler with an ice pack!
Next my husband tried the 54% dark chocolate bar. He loved it, he thought is was the best dark chocolate he had ever had. He said it was different from other dark chocolate because it didn’t have a harsh bite to it like most do. Guylian makes two chocolate bars one dark and one milk chocolate. Both of them have no sugar added and Guylian writes that they are “suitable for diabetes!”
I would love to bake a chocolate cake with some of Guylian’s chocolate bars. It would be a chocolate masterpiece! You can purchase Guylian Chocolate at many local retailers, I found out Fresh Market sells them. They don’t sell their chocolate online so click here to find your nearest location.
