“First time in Brussels, we had to go to a chocolate making shop. We chose this one based on the reviews and glad we did. It was the entire 2.5 hours but it went by quickly. They can have as many as 18 ppl, but fortunately we only had 8. I prefer smaller crowds. The chocolate was delicious. We had nuts, honey, coffee, caramel, rice krispies, salt, raisins and coconut were the fillings. The hot chocolate was also very delicious. This was well worth the money. I’d actually pay extra to get a box with the individual cutouts so it can be even fancier.”
