When sharing a box of chocolates with friends and told to choose one only, how many times do we fear that we'll have the last choice and when our turn comes, we can't just make that selection? Fortunately, when it is a box of Belgian chocolates, any choice is always good. I have to say there are no gross Belgian chocolates; you can eat the entire box. Chocolate in its finest form, Belgian chocolates can be addictive.

Belgium is one of the biggest producers of chocolate world-wide. It is especially famous for its pralines. Unlike in the USA where pralines consist of whole nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, pecans) individually coated in caramelized sugar, European pralines refer to the powder (or the paste made from it) resulting from grinding sugar-coated nuts which is then mixed with chocolate.
Belgian chocolates or chocolate bonbons are chocolate that contain this type of pralines … simplifying, in general, pralines may refer to filled-chocolate pieces and when you say chocolate, you're talking about the former, pralines.
