Guylian Sea Shells
Guylian Sea Shells is a small (65g) box containing six Belgian chocolates with soft praline centres.
I’ve talked before about the history of Guylian and their trademark sea shell shapes. So if you’re interested in exactly they’re shaped like shells, have a look at my Guylian Dark Orange review. Suffice to say, they don’t taste of fish.
The chocolate is a marbled mixture of milk and white chocolate. It’s creamy, velvety and delicious. The centres are creamy and soft with a slight nutty taste, but they don’t overpower the chocolate flavour.
The overall effect is a rather delicious, creamy Belgian chocolate. But they’re not the kind of chocolate I would buy for myself. They’re the kind of chocolate you give as a gift, rather than eat every day. In fact, I think I’ve only ever had these at Christmas. And even then they’re usually someone else’s that I’ve… er… borrowed.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re delicious… but for satisfying that every day chocolate craving, I’d rather have a Dark Orange bar.

I get gifts of these chocolates very often. They are nice.

I’ve only ever seen these in weird stores here in the US. Stores which do not specialize in selling food, but instead sell discount things - mostly clothes and things to decorate the house. They usually have a gourmet food section, but I’m always afraid that this stuff is like 5 years old.
on another topic, I want to be eastcoastlife, who gets gifts of chocolate. Yurmm. Nobody loves me.

chocgal: I don’t think they tell you the percentage of praline - and as I ate these a long time ago, I can’t check the box for you - sorry!

I too have had these as a gift and although delicious they are far too creamy for me, being a dark choc fanatic. In fact they are so creamy that after say four or five I end up sharing them a lot with my friends and family which is almost unheard of when I have dark choccies.
