Our verdict

78 / 100

The ballotin is the traditional Belgian way to offer pralines, so the box itself says 'special occasion'. With 38 pieces across every cocoa level, it works for a whole household rather than a single person.

Best forA family or a couple who will share a large box over the holidays.
Best occasionChristmas, wedding, anniversary, Mother's Day
Avoid ifIf you want a small token gift: this is a large box meant for sharing.
