Holiday Sparkle Collection
Perfect for every gifting occasion, the beautifully curated holiday
boxes are filled with iconic GODIVA chocolate pieces and signature
truffles, alongside the new, limited-edition Sparkle Collection
chocolates. The sparkling chocolates, designed and handcrafted by
GODIVA's Chef Chocolatier Jean Apostolou, are delicious on the
inside with festive shimmer on the outside, paying homage to the
magic embedded in the holiday season and nostalgic flavors of the
season like hot cocoa, almond, caramel and raspberry.
"The inspiration for these chocolates came directly from the
twinkling lights and ornaments of the holiday season that decorate
our homes and somehow transform the everyday to something magical.
Each of the handcrafted GODIVA chocolates are topped with edible
glitter, making them shimmer, and the insides are filled with
classic holiday flavors like hot cocoa and almond, instantly
evoking the warmth and wholesome goodness of the season. I created
the Sparkle Collection to bring happiness to others, by capturing
the joy of the holiday season, which we are all especially eager to
embrace this year," says Apostolou.
- Holiday Sparkle Chocolate Collection: A collection of

sumptuous, shimmering flavors:
