Gothic Bruges, Belgium is filled with decadent chocolate shops. It’s a magnet for chocoholics and chocolate connoisseurs.

Examiner.com contributor in front of Dumon Chocolate Shop

Belgium is second to none in the chocolate department. Here are just a few suggestions to indulge your chocolate cravings.   


Dumon is a well-known family owned shop. Madam Dumon along with her two sons, Stefaan and Christophe, make superb handmade chocolates daily. When I visited the tiny shop, a crowd was gathered around the display case and one of the owners explained in French how they're known for their fresh and creamy chocolates bursting with flavor. A purchase in this must-see shop should be at the top of your chocoloate shopping list.
 

To indulge in one-of -a-kind concoctions, head over to the Chocolate Line near Market Square. Eighty unique varieties, such as a Buddha-shaped ginger chocolate and a white elephant saffron curry will tempt your taste buds. If you're looking for marzipan along with an assortment of liquor filled chocolates, Verheecke offers a grand selection. Sample individual chocolates and then purchase a box of your favorites to bring home. For delicious tea-flavored pralines, go to the Chocolate Corner. And for the true chocolate connoisseur, you will appreciate De-Proeverie Tea Room located in the  Sukerbuyc shop. While enjoying hot chocolate, a sampling of chocolates will be served in front of a toasty fireplace. For those of you who can't make it to Belgium, order handmade chocolates directly from Sukerbuyc's choc-online website.

Finally, a trip to the Choco-Story (chocolate museum) will complete your trip to Brugge with a chocolate demonstration and chocolate tasting.
