Holiday Gift Guide - Ghyslain Chocolate Review & Giveaway



I love chocolate. Its a big weakness for me. Recently, I came across a little shop called Ghyslain who has taken chocolate to a whole new level. Not only is their chocolate a rich and decadent treat that will melt it your mouth. Each piece is also a beautiful work of art. They offer beautiful truffles and medallions and even chocolate that is carved into delicate shapes like high heels. These beautiful chocolates are so unique you hate to eat them. But once you get even one small nibble, you won't be able to stop yourself from wanting more.









For our review, I received one of their adorable hand painted snowmen as well as a six piece holiday assortment of truffles and medallions.  I have heard of edible art. But I have never seen anything quite like this. The detail of this little snowman is amazing. You can see his eyes, his nose, even every tiny flecks on snow. He even comes with four little babies that are filled with vanilla cream.  My kids were amazed by it. So much so that they didn't even want to eat it. But I'm glad we did. The taste of the chocolate is as pleasing to your taste buds as the the masterful artwork of the chocolatier is to your eyes.   The assortment was just as amazing. Each piece was lovely to look at and even better to eat. They offer some unique flavors like egg nog and peanut putter and jelly. Each one is a gourmet piece of heaven.

These are only a few examples of so many tasty choices available at Ghyslain Chocolate. They have dozens of other options to choose from.  Their prices are very reasonable for such high end, gourmet chocolate, shipping is quick, and ordering is secure. Chocolate makes a wonderful gift for the holidays and its also a great indulgent treat for yourself. So check out Ghyslain Chocolate today. Right now would be a great time to make a purchase.
