Godiva says: Meltingly rich, a traditional European biscuit is topped with a signature imprinted tablet of sinfully smooth milk chocolate.

We say: Sad but true: In the year 2000, we worked at a Seattle Godiva shop. It was the standard retail experience: jaded, ex-ballerina boss with a penchant for putting down collegiate-based aspirations; fun and wacky coworkers with a sense of fairness and enormous generosity when it came to the free chocolates box; cutthroat competition to make sales quotas; and lots of chocolate tasting.

When you work at Godiva, your job is to eat chocolates, well eat and sell chocolates. Also, to dip strawberries in chocolate while tourists take photos of you.

2000 was also the year that Godiva introduced Biscuits and Coffees (they may have also introduced hot chocolate at that time, but we can’t remember). During that summer, we made coffee every day and placed biscuits out for sampling every day. People freaking loved Godiva biscuits. I was not so keen; we didn’t get them for free and they didn’t seem to be any better than cheaper cookies available at the grocery store.

Some aspects of that cookie philosophy hold true. Godiva Signature Biscuits aren’t free and the cookie parts aren’t any more delicious than regular cookies: the Godiva chocolate that makes all of the difference. You could go and purchase the LU version, hoping that your Petit Ecolier will stand up to the scrumptiousness that is Godiva chocolate. Perhaps you enjoy setting yourself up for failure.
