Chocolate in Belgium

NEUH0075.jpg
The Belgians take their chocolate quite seriously... we visited Neuhaus, Leonidas, and about a billion others. I was even told that the royal family in Belgium have publicly stated that Neuhaus pralines are their pralines of choice. and indeed, the pralines at Neuhaus are reallly yummy. Out of all their truffles, many are made au naturel, without chocolate molds and with a rough coating of shaved chocolate or sliced almonds or whatever else. The natural style truffles are definitely my favorite. Fresh ganache, interesting combinations of textures. For those of you who are curious, there are a bunch of Neuhaus shops in NYC.
