Oddly labeled as BS40, the shop at Rue Au Beurre 40 apparently now selling more than just Chocolates from Darci’s, it was after a touristy walk around Brussels Grand Place and Les Galeries Royales that a visit was made to another of Brussels’ foremost Chocolatiers, the prices on par with most as Macarons raise the bar for taste as well as texture while Chocolates are presented in a rather unique variety.

A place where Pralines take center stage, in this way no different than most of the Shops in Belgium, Darci’s Chocolates sets itself apart from other spaces by labeling each item with full description and whether one opts for the “Owl” with Whisky Caramel and White Chocolate or “Sesamon” with Hazelnut Crisps and Salty finish there really is no wrong option the Speculoos and Arabica also excellent with their expected, yet well crafted, fillings.

Moving past Chocolates, the confitures offered alongside Gaufre admittedly quite tempting, the decision was instead made to sample a few of BS40’s pastel French Cookies, the batch made fresh that morning still sporting a shell with a perfectly crisp break overlying intensely flavored, but lightly sugared, creams and jellies.
