Guylian…Opus? Opus? What on earth is that? Well according to Wikipedia it’s the Latin word for work. It’s also a music term, and after looking at the back of the box that’s evidently what it refers to. With chocolates entitled Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. it’s a musical Guylian selection box!

Described as a “symphony (haha!) of finest Belgian chocolates (filling 50%)”, these look decent enough, hopefully Guylian have actually worked with this one and so opus has a double meaning (see, I can do it too), rather than them lazily boxing their ordinary chocolates.

So ok, it looks nice enough on the front, some work has gone into the box. There’s a musical score on the box too, all very pretty. The box flips opens at the front and shows the list of chocolates right there. I’ve got to say I’m impressed, this is much better than those lame little sheets that come in other selection boxes.

I had to really zoom out to take this picture with everything there. As you can see there are eight types of chocolates, and two of each one. One thing Guylian have again put a ton of effort into is the design of each chocolate. Some of them are amazing to look at, from the multi-coloured butterfly to the pyramid, the flute and the drum, these are all huge chocolates and it almost pains me to eat them.

But, the taste is where it counts. Now, let’s say this first, these are absolutely delicious. Every one of these was lovely, and I greatly enjoyed it. But…a lot of them taste similar. This is something I mentioned I was worried about, and it’s happened. Even the ones that are really meant to be different such as the orange cream and the cappuccino cream aren’t that different, and far too many of these are hazelnut or praline based. Delicious, but…ah forget it, I’m nit picking, they’re just delicious, a marvel to look at and better than so many other selection boxes. Try these, they’re worth it.
