A Chocolate Factory in Brussels: Planet Chocolat

Elisabeth recently completed reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. To celebrate, we visited an actual chocolate factory in Brussels, Planet Chocolat. Planet Chocolat is an "avant-garde" chocolate manufacturer working in the tradition of the past. Planet Chocolat produces the highest quality hand-made chocolate with 100% pure cocoa butter.

At 4pm on Saturday afternoon we enjoyed a demonstration on the history and manufacture of chocolates, tasting a variety of chocolates and a delicious hot chocolate! Elisabeth and Kate were remarkably well behaved: if they answered a question correctly, the demonstrator gave them a chocolate (or two!).

After the tour we celebrated with dinner on the Grand Plaza. Way to go Elisabeth! Next up: Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.
