Belgian Candy Windows - The Window Type

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.

While the set up of any chocolate shop window is important, so can the actual window itself.  The type of window you see at a chocolate shop can really say a lot about the kind of chocolate they sell.  Some windows are full of signs and strange sculptures, and these shops often sell boxes of chocolate there are mass produced and other touristy stuff.  Other windows are a large single pieces of glass, very clean, and often featuring simple and modern looking hand made chocolates.  Then there are the window like the one featured above, these windows are a little rough around the edges and very traditional looking.  For the most part, other than a few pieces here and there, these windows look right into the store and the hand made chocolates for sale in the store.
