<p>I&#8217;ve been in Belgium for over a year, and I realized that in that time I hadn&#8217;t had any Belgian chocolate. (I know heresy!) Thus I&#8217;ve rectify this situation! I went to a magical place called Praline Paleis.</p>
<p>It is a local family owned establishment that makes homemade chocolate!</p>
<p>I first stalked them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pralinepaleis/">Facebook</a>, they are very active. The upload pictures of the delicious chocolate, all of which says &#8220;Buy Me&#8221; and &#8220;Eat Me&#8221;. I asked a question about payment the night I found it and received a reply the next morning.</p>
<p>My first time going was great. The lady there spoke English, and was able to answer all of my question. I was able to sample some chocolate, before buying a box of dark homemade chocolates.<br />

Every Friday for the month of Feb. I will be paring delicious Belgian chocolate with awesome Belgian beer.)</p>

<p>I also bought a bag of chocolate covered orange rinds, and chocolate covered cherries. Which I reviewed in the video below.</p>

<p><strong>Spoiler:</strong> The chocolate was amazing! /<strong>End Spoiler</strong></p>
<p>I was very impressed with the service and the chocolate so I went back again to buy more orange rinds and these.</p>

<p>Those are a Belgian specialty called sneeuwballen or snowballs. The middle is a vanilla cream that is covered in chocolate and topped with powdered sugar. They are incredible messy, but taste delicious. I&#8217;d give them 5 out of 5 stars.</p>
<p>If you are in Belgium I would Highly Suggest jumping over to Poperinge to try out <a href="https://www.pralinepaleis.be/en/">Praline Paleis</a> chocolates!</p>
