Costco Gudrun Fine Belgian Chocolates Review

Costco has a ton of different chocolates and treats during the holiday season – walking down the holiday aisles can be a little bit overwhelming! If you’re just looking for a traditional box of chocolates with a bunch of different flavors, then these Gudrun Belgian Chocolates are an option to consider.

I’ve eaten quite a few different brands of chocolates around Christmas over the years, and a lot of them are kind of disappointing. Will these ones disappear quickly or sit around the house until they’re stale?

Some other products from Costco with Belgian chocolate are the Delici Belgian Chocolate Mousse, Delici Belgian Chocolate Souffle, Kirkland Signature Luxury Belgian Chocolates, Kirkland Signature European Cookies, Grand Specialties Belgian Chocolates, Deavas Belgian Chocolates and the Costco Kirkland Signature Liquor Collection Belgian Chocolates.

Taste

I tried all 13 different kinds of chocolates and wrote down notes about each one. Yes, that’s a lot of chocolate for one person to eat so it took me a few days!

I love the look of the chocolates!

Harmony doesn’t really have the cookies and cream flavor I was expecting. It’s just a milk chocolate ganache filling with a few bits of chocolate crumble in it. I expected a white filling with chunks of cookie.

Thalia is very lemony and a bit tart. There are bits of crystallized lemon-flavored sugar in the filling. It’s kind of an odd combination with the dark chocolate. The filling reminds me of lemon meringue pie.

Jane is delicious. It has a milk chocolate outer shell and the dulce de leche filling is excellent. The filling is sweet and creamy and almost reminds me of maple. I really like maple products so this was a hit with me.

Caresse has a dark chocolate outer shell with a dark chocolate caramel ganache filling. Was expecting just straight caramel in the filling so I was surprised to see the filling being a combination of chocolate and caramel.

Agate has a dark chocolate shell with a dark chocolate ganache filling. It’s pretty sweet. The filling is very creamy and for has a bit of a vanilla or coconut flavor.

Hazel has a milk chocolate shell with a creamy, smooth praline hazelnut filling. It’s excellent and one of my favorites but it’s quite sweet.

Avelie has a very unique fruity ganache filling that pairs pretty well with the dark chocolate. There’s a noticeable black currant flavor that some might not like because it’s a bit artificial tasting.

Manon is one of my favorites. The coffee filling inside is light, fluffy and noticeably coffee-like! This is like a very good cappuccino-tasting chocolate and is quite sweet.

Lina is a simple milk chocolate truffle, it’s pretty good but very sweet.

Rico has a very sweet noticeable almond extract flavor. The outer shell is dark chocolate and the filling is very creamy.

Coco Tresor is very coconutty and sweet. It has a chewy texture from the coconut flakes. It has a good combination of dark chocolate and toasted coconut. I find it enjoyable but the coconut gets stuck in your mouth.

Sublime is very interesting. It has an artificial pear flavor paired with caramel filling. The flavors work but it’s quite sweet and a bit odd. I think a lot of people wouldn’t find this one that enjoyable.

Cost

I paid $16.99 Canadian for the box of 36 chocolates in 2020. Today in 2023 the price is $18.99 Canadian for 36 chocolates.

Convenience

The chocolates come in a cute little reusable gift bag. The expiry date is about 10 months from the date I purchased the chocolates. There are two trays of chocolates wrapped in plastic in the beautiful gift box. Each tray has 18 chocolates.

These would make a wonderful gift or are also good just to have around the house for the holidays.

These are the most deluxe or premium-quality chocolates I’ve tried but they’re pretty tasty! Even my 17-month-old daughter enjoys a little nibble.

  3. We got a box for Christmas as a gift and I have to honestly say that these are the best chocolates I have ever tasted. Creamy & flavorful, and you can definitely NOT eat just one. I wanted to eat the whole box but my husband made me share much to my dismay. I highly recommend these chocolates and would not hesitate to buy them in the future.
