Some sweets effortlessly transcend time, cherished across generations. Haricots are a wonderful testament to this: delicate confections with a subtle touch of vanilla, meticulously enrobed in dark chocolate. This refined harmony of taste and texture has captivated hearts for decades through its pure simplicity and elegance.
The story of Haricots dates back to the 1950s, when master chocolatier Demaret of Brussels first introduced them. Known as RiRi, they quickly became a household name, celebrated in part for the beloved sticker albums that children proudly filled. These charming treats blossomed into a quintessential Belgian tradition, evoking sweet nostalgia and keeping treasured memories alive.
In 2010, Haricots became part of the Candyville family. This iconic confection was welcomed into a new home, while its cherished recipe remained true to tradition. Even today, you will savor that same tender vanilla center, enveloped in a delicate layer of dark chocolate that delivers its signature, authentic taste. Today, Candyville proudly brings you the one and only original Belgian Haricots—a piece of heritage in confectionery form.
What makes Haricots so distinctive is the flawless balance between a tender center and a sumptuous dark chocolate coating. Neither too rich nor overly sweet, but simply exquisite: a delightful treat embraced by both young and old. Crafted with meticulous artistry, Haricots remain a timeless emblem of Belgian confectionery savoir-faire.
At Candyville, we believe that Haricots are far more than just confections—they are a precious part of our shared heritage. We warmly invite you to share your stories, cherished memories, special dates, or delightful anecdotes about this authentic Belgian treat. Together, we can celebrate the rich history of Haricots and preserve their legacy for everyone to enjoy.
