Belgian Candy Windows - Nice Boxes

The widows of the chocolate shops in Belgium are spectacular, almost as spectacular as the chocolates themselves.  The level of competition between the chocolate shops in this country is staggering, so you would imagine they put a lot of effort towards their windows to attract customers.  For the next two weeks I'm going to show you some of the great themes and ideas I came across while searching out my chocolate paradise.
Chocolates in Belgium are not always just about the fine quality chocolate and great fillings, in many ways it's also about the look of the chocolate itself.  Really, this is the goal of every chocolatier, to create a beautiful chocolate that tastes as good as it looks.  It's also important, if you're going to take so much time in making these works of art, to make sure they look great when you get them home.  Many stores put a great deal of effort into their packages making sure they look so good you're almost tempted not to eat them.  The folks at Pierre Ledent are so keen on their packages that they take center stage of their windows.
