Chocolate shops, I visited and bought from...

Leonidas - Milk chocolate Manneken Pis figures.
Rudolf Braun - Chocolaterie Manneken Pis (Brussels) - Chocolate pencils.
Chocolate Nation - Mini bars, matcha, bean-to-bar Tanzania and Java 43%.
La Belgique Gourmande - Assortment of chocolate.

And many more!

The best bit was knowing that when I was shopping for chocolate in Belgium 99% of the time all of the chocolate was from Belgium!

Milka (I know this is Swiss chocolate and is not Belgium).

These are the snacks I ate when I was away...
Belgian waffles, Belgian fries, Australian ice cream, Speculoos biscuits, Cinnamon pretzel, Croissants, Pain au chocolat and Lots more chocolate!
