Posted by Edmund in Belgium, Chocolate, Featured Articles, Gourmet Chocolate Bars

Composition: 31% Milk Chocolate with Salted Toffee Bits. Region of Production: Germany (originally Belgium). Price: About $4.20 at CVS. All right, so if you’re a chocolate fiend like myself, I know what your first impression might be—Godiva? Is that even “real” gourmet chocolate? And while Godiva’s Salted Caramel bar will...

Galler 60% Dark Chocolate Papouasie/Arriba Bar

Galler, 60% Blended Dark Chocolate Papouasie/Arriba Bar Beans from Papouasie and Arriba Articulated in Belgium €2.80 for 100g Taste: 1.5/5.0 Rich. Wouldn’t be bad if weren’t so bitter.

“Del Rey” Bar

Del Rey, 54.5% “Del Rey” Bar Milk Chocolate Belgium €6 for an 85g bar This is Del Rey’s specialty, a dark milk chocolate bar. Presentation: 4.5/5.0 Beautiful design.

Galler, 43% Blended Milk Chocolate Venezuela Papouasie Bar Belgium €2.80 for 100g Taste: 3.5/5.0 Extremely good for a cheaper chocolate. Galler really shows why it is a royal mandate holder with this bar. It is slightly, but only very slightly, too sweet, and it does have some bitter overtones that help to balance it out....

Del Rey Milk Chocolate with Macadamia Nut Bar (mini-review)

Del Rey, Milk Chocolate with Macadamia Nut Bar Belgium €6.00 for 85g Very good, solid bar. The nuts mix perfectly with the chocolate, the flavor is great, and the sweetness isn’t bad. Still, it is massively overpriced, especially in Belgium, where good chocolate can be obtained for far, far less. Presentation: 4.5/5.0. See the...

Mary’s White Chocolate Bar

Mary Chocolatier White Chocolate Bar Belgium Around €6 Presentation: 3.2+/5.0 The great thing about Mary’s is the “grandma’s touch” to everything, including in the boxes, the wrapping, and the look of the chocolates. The white chocolate itself is just a very nice-looking bar. It’s rather thick, and just seems huge...
