This weekend I broke into my box of Belgian Chocolate.

I ate two pieces on Saturday and I am about to eat another piece.

Now before you think my self-control is super human or something I guess that it should be noted that for a couple of days after getting back from Brussels I was on a salad diet.

This was a direct result of some wonderful memories that kept flashing through my head: french fries with mayonnaise and waffles with whipped cream.  After a couple of hearty vegetable-rich salads I felt great. I mean sometimes a girl has got to do these things.

Then I sort of forgot about the chocolates.<!--more-->

I know that for some of you this unimaginable but it really happened. In part this is because while I like chocolate I don't obsessive-love love it.

Out of sight, out of mind.

But on Saturday afternoon I caught a glimpse of the bright orange box and that was that. I had one chocolate and took some photos for my blog, then I had another one.

These chocolates are pretty incredible. Move over Hersey's chocolate. Move over Ghirardelli.  These chocolates even give Godiva a run fro there money. The chocolates from the shop Elisabeth are some of the best chocolates I've ever eaten.

They are intense.  For their size they are substantial. They also have a lot of mouth appeal the chocolate is rich and creamy, the texture is delightful and the chocolates are well balanced when it comes to the different flavors.

The truth is while I've never really considered myself a chocolate person, these are exactly the kind of chocolates that could make me a chocolate person. Or they will ruin me forever and I'll always be on the lookout for comparable chocolates.

Good thing, I've got more than 3/4 of a box left!!

Oh Brussels. What a great holiday.
