What is so great about Belgian chocolate? For some reason everything chocolate seems to have gone on the Belgian bandwagon. From candy treats to ice cream to cakes, the famous Belgian flavor has taken over. Although I admit it is good, I always keep wondering what makes it preferable to say.. Swiss chocolate or even our local tsokolate.

The last time that I enjoyed a good Red Ribbon cake was quite some time ago, with the Tiramisu being such a favorite. So when I saw an ad on Yummy Magazine about a Belgian Chocolate Bliss cake, I had an urge to get one for my hubby (disguised that way but I was secretly buying it for myself). Unfortunately, it only came in Junior size so I had to buy another cake for my son who was really the one celebrating his birthday.

The only other enticing chocolate cake on display was one topped with what seemed like large white chocolate kisses. I bought a large size S’mores chocolate cake that I was pretty sure my kids would love.

True enough, the Belgian Chocolate cake was pure bliss. It was a multi-layered cake lavished with Belgian chocolate icing that was not too sweet but oh so rich. Its junior size was a well thought of approach as a regular sized one would probably cause a toothache, a stomachache or a sleepless night.

A s’more is a popular foreign treat made with roasted marshmallow and chocolate sandwiched between graham crackers. Now imagine this treat turned into a cake and you have got kids going to dessert heaven. This is especially true for my kids who can eat a whole pack of marshmallows if only I will let them. This cake is perfect for kids but should be avoided by adults at all costs because of the sugar overload as the layers of marshmallow are greater in portion compared to the slivers of chocolate cake. Dandy.

I just read that Red Ribbon’s newest cake is another dessert classic – cookies and cream. Wonder what that tastes like.
