A refined praline? Or a crispy biscuit? Why not both combined? As a tribute to Belgian culinary tradition, Neuhaus has joined forces with the legendary Maison Dandoy to launch ‘Les Gourmands’. This collection offers the best of both worlds, blending rich Neuhaus chocolate with the authentic crunch of Maison Dandoy biscuits.
This delightful assortment is a true treat for both biscuit and chocolate lovers, bringing together two iconic Belgian brands in a delicious fusion of flavors and textures.
Our shared passion for excellence and Belgian craftsmanship in confectionery naturally brought us together

Authentic Delights
The ‘Les Gourmands’ collection stands out for its authentic yet simple symphony of flavors and textures. To preserve the true essence and taste of the Maison Dandoy biscuits, they are finely ground and then blended with chocolate to create a deliciously creamy filling. This delightful filling is then encased in a delicate layer of Neuhaus chocolate. For example, the Gourmand Salted Caramel consists only of crumbled biscuits mixed with chocolate, wrapped in a smooth layer of creamy milk chocolate—pure and simple. This simplicity results in an intensely pure experience, where the soft, refined chocolate meets the surprising crunch of traditional biscuits.
We grind our biscuits into a fine powder, which is then delivered to Neuhaus to be incorporated into the pralines. This allows us to use so-called ‘non-conforming’ biscuits in a flavorful and responsible way.
