Nirvana Belgian chocolates

Noshing & Sipping by Theresa Regli

Those poor Belgians. Not only is their country affectionately referred to as "the speed bump of Europe," but their mastery of food and drink is sorely overlooked. Yet few beers rival heavenly Belgian lambics, and few candies can rival Belgian chocolates. The Swiss can keep their Lindt. Now, thanks to the miracle of e-commerce, you can order a custom-selected box of Belgian chocolates via the Web. Nirvana handcrafted chocolates, online at www.nirvanachocolates.com, are made with fresh cream and the finest cocoa beans, using a centuries-old recipe that produces creamy, satisfyingly sinful treats. Choose from pralines, truffles, ganaches, caramels, buttercreams, and marzipan, to name a few. All orders are delivered to your door in an elegant yellow-and-blue box. Prices range from $16 for a half-pound to $30 for a pound.
