Belgian Dark Chocolate Thins

Tonight World of Snacks is back in Belgium as we search the globe for the very best snacks in the world.  Our last Belgian snack review was over a year ago so we are extremely excited to expand our knowledge of foreign snacks from this country.  Our snack review is of Royal Chocolates Belgian Dark Chocolate Thins. 

Royal Chocolates was founded by Jan and Kris Van Dyck in 1993.  Their vision was to bring high quality Belgian chocolates to the market at an affordable price.  Initially their operation was seasonal but has since expanded greatly.  In fact they can now product up to 5200 chocolate thins per minute!

This Belgian confectionery company produces several variations of their chocolate thins.  Our snack under review is Royal Chocolates Dark Chocolate variety.  Our sample weighs in at 4.4oz and comes in a tub shaped thin cardboard box.  It’s mostly white and trimmed in a rich red color on both the top and bottom.  “Dark” is contained across the top followed by “Luscious, dark chocolate thins filled with crispy rice puffs.  Simply irresistible!”  Let’s move onto our taste test and see if these imported dark chocolate thins are as irresistible as they say.

Our first impression- they are nearly irresistible!  They chocolate is creamy and just a tad sweet.  It’s a rich dark chocolate.  The crispy rice puffs are very small, unlike any other rice puffs we’ve encountered in international candy.  So needless to say the taste of this Belgian snack is delicious, however it’s the texture that has us enthralled.  The “thins” similar to small Pringle style chips but made entirely of dark chocolate.  The chocolates are very thin and crisp.  The back of the package shows the Belgian Dark Chocolate Thins used as a topping on ice cream and a cupcake, we have to agree with Royal Chocolates- these would be an ideal topping to take your treats the next level.

At the beginning of the year we launched our international snack store.  Through out 2014 we’ve expanded the store to include the best snacks from several countries.  Our goal is to include a total of 12 countries in our normal inventory.  Will World of Snacks offer Belgian Dark Chocolate Thins in our international snacks store?  It’s to soon to tell.  We need to try a few more Belgian snacks to make that determination.  One thing is for sure though; if we do offer Belgian snacks for sale online we will absolutely offer several of Royal Chocolates Thins!  If you’d like to stay in touch as we add new inventory be sure to leave your details to the right.  Keep on snacking world!
