Many of the holiday chocolates available at Costco are ones I’ve tried before or frequently come across. These Chocodelice The Most Delicious Desserts of Europe Chocolates stand out as something truly unique and are inspired by beloved European dessert. After opening the box I discovered not only do these chocolates sound intriguing but they’re also aesthetically pleasing. The real question is: do they taste as delightful as they look?

Taste
There are all different flavors of chocolates in the box and I tried them all for this review!
France – Moelleux – This one has a hard chocolate shell with two kinds of filling. The top part is solid and looks like chocolate mousse. The bottom is a liquid that looks like dark chocolate, but is sweeter. It was really delicious!
Italy – Panna Cotta – Again, there’s a hard chocolate shell (which doesn’t cover the top) and two kinds of filling. The top part of the filling is solid, but light. The bottom is a pink berry-flavored liquid. I liked this one too!
Portugal – Pasties De Nata – Another one with a hard shell and two fillings with a softer filling on the bottom. It kind of tastes like caramel or crème brûlée.
Belgium – Dame Blanche – This one follows the same pattern. I think the liquid filling on the bottom might be the same stuff that’s in the first chocolate. The firmer filling up top seems like white chocolate.
The Netherlands – Apple Pie – Dual fillings again. This one is extra sweet and has very artificial apple flavor. It’s not bad, but it’s probably my least favorite.
Spain – Crema Catalana – Another dual filling one. It’s somewhat similar to the Portuguese chocolate, but with a smokier toffee flavor instead of caramel.
France – Macarons – These are kind of a chocolate version of a macaron since the outer shells and chocolate and not the usual cookie. The one that looks like an Oreo cookie is super chocolatey and rich. The one with pink sprinkles is quite sweet and has a mild cheesecake flavor.
Cost
The 430-gram box of chocolates costs $29.99 Canadian which seems like a lot but there’s quite a few chocolates in the box, it’s really long!

Nutrition
Calories
Three pieces of chocolate contain 260 calories, 17 grams of fat, 24 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, 21 grams of sugar, two grams of protein and 30 milligrams of sodium. That’s pretty typical for decadent chocolates like this!
Ingredients
The ingredients list is very long which I expected because there’s all different flavors of chocolates in the box. I don’t love seeing palm, rapeseed and sunflower oil in the chocolates as well as glucose-fructose syrup.
The chocolates contain milk, soy, wheat and hazelnut and may contain egg, barley and other tree nuts.

I almost gave these a 9/10! These chocolates were a pleasant surprise! For some reason, I didn’t expect much out them, but they’re really tasty.
