If you go to Belgium and not taste Belgian chocolate is like going to Paris and not taking just one photo with the Eiffel Tower. With different flavors and tastes, this is surely one of the sweetest things in Belgium. There are a lot of stores that sell this in Brussels, mainly in the center, so you can take your time and analyze all the promotions and the packing that entice you to buy them all.
