While visiting my nearby base exchange to get some Godiva chocolates as a gift for the 2 very sweet lady managers at EZ Storage on 8401 Contee Road in Laurel, Maryland, I decided to treat myself to a reward for finishing my move out of my apartment. Godiva is renowned for making high quality products and, I decided to try their biscuits (cookies to those of us in the United States). The 50 biscuit gift set was encased in a very nice orange tin with the Godiva trademark in the center of it. The tin held the following assortment of biscuits:
Godiva Signature - a traditional European biscuits with a square of Godiva chocolate on top with Lady Godiva riding her horse in the center of the chocolate square
Dark Truffle Heart - a heart shaped biscuit with chocolate on top filled with chocolate truffle cream
Hazelnut Praline - chocolate hazelnut creme set between 2 crunchy biscuits with milk chocolate on the bottom
Raspberry Premier - a thin chocolate biscuit topped with a layer of chocolate raspberry creme with a square of dark chocolate on top of that
Petit Mousse - a light biscuit filled with chocolate mousse dipped in dark chocolate
Chocolate Lune - 2 thin hazelnut wafers filled with chocolate creme half dipped in dark chocolate
Hazelnut Belgique - a meringue biscuit topped with hazelnut pieces encased in dark chocolate and drizzled with milk chocolate
All of the biscuits were beautifully made and stacked in the stylish tin. I tried each of the biscuits and found every 1 of them a delicious chocolate delight. Price wise, the tin lists for $40 on the Godiva website but, for military folks, you can buy the tin for $32 at your base/post exchange. For those who care about calories, each biscuit/cookie contains approximately 40 calories with 0 cholesterol and 0 trans fats.
Overall, the biscuits lived up to the Godiva brand. They're very good and should delight any chocoholic as well as making a very nice gift to anyone. I would heartily recommend this wonderful product. Bon Appetit!
