Chocolate seashells are a special treat—with their pretty molds, they always look like an elegant chocolate gift item. And these seashells are just as good to eat as they are to look at!
The first thing that may strike the chocoholic about these chocolate seashells is that they look a lot like Guylian seashells (which are also very good—stay tuned for a future review). The outside of these chocolates is a mix of white chocolate swirled with milk chocolate. One major difference between GBS and Guylian is that instead of a chocolate seahorse, the package from GBS has a fish in it (yes, seahorses are fish, technically, but this is a “fishy fish”). Otherwise, the chocolates look very similar.
Inside the Chocolate Seashells
The inside of GBS seashells is a very nice, truffle-like cream filling of hazelnut. Ferrero-Rocher fans are very likely to enjoy these, as well. The filling in a Ferrero-Rocher is different, in that it isn’t as creamy and not similar to a truffle filling—but that’s really no big deal, as the hazelnut inside is great for both items.
These chocolates are very sweet. If you like more of a bitter chocolate, these seashells may not be for you. You need to have a major sweet tooth to eat a bunch of this seashell collection in one sitting, but that’s probably a good thing—that way, you can stretch out your chocolate-seashell consumption and not chug these down all at once.
Not to mention that the chocolate fish is just too cute. If you have a sweet tooth (and most chocoholics do), what’s not to like?
