Valentine’s Day: Guylian Artisanal Chocolates

I am a chocoholic!  I say that with pride because I know it’s true.  I’m also a very picky chocolate eater. Yes, there are some chocolates out there that I will not eat and do not like. About two years ago I was introduced to a Belgian company that makes some really awesome chocolates, Guylian.

Guylian

Now, as I mentioned, I’m picky when it comes to chocolate and I was very skeptical of the Guylian Artisanal Belgian Chocolates when they arrived.  I mean, with a fancy name like that they have to be make with the most expensive ingredients out there.  To me, that means the chocolates aren’t going to be as good as you’d think. To my surprise they were Delicious!  So much so that I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a giveaway for you wonderful readers!

In the past, Guylian only offered their traditional chocolates and although they make wonderful gifts, they just aren’t the same at Valentine’s Day!  Today, you are now able to get Valentine’s Day gift boxes, that come in a beautiful red design and the chocolates are in the shape of a heart instead of their normal seahorse and shell design.

You can now buy Guylian chocolates directly from their online store as well as at many retailers.  For a limited time, until February 28, 2013, you can get 20% your online purchase by using the coupon code VALDAY20!
