Truffles anyone?
I love these kind of chocolates... they're rich, tasty and come across as definitely delectable. Not too fun eating them when they're melted though. And the nice thing is, the outer covering is normally a combination of light and dark chocolate, with the truffle filling just waiting to be consumed inside.
The first company that came up with the seafood/sea shells motif (far as I know) was Guylian (see the link at the end of this paragraph for more information) and boy was I hooked. In fact, during those times I would find myself in the Duty Free, I would get at least a box of these. They're a bit pricey though... and like any famous product - subject to cloning or copying.http://www.guylian.be/en/home/
Such is the case of these chocolates you see in the photo - I know they're not Guylian (they're seashells by Trefin), but they taste good. Looks like Guylian is in trouble if they don't make things easier for them to be distributed and sold - specifically at a lower price. Specially since there seems to be a new entrant that was able to be close to the real thing. For me, this would be a 'win' situation for the consumers. I just hope that should the competition get fierce, the different producers do not sacrifice quality over cost. Meanwhile I'm off to grab a chocolate (or two) - and no... I won't finish these all in one sitting. I like savoring the chocolates... stretching my eating experience into days. So yeah, that's my E.Q. reason.
