Foubert and his wife formulated the original chocolate recipe and "Guylian" was formed as a portmanteau from the first names of Guy and Liliane Foubert. While Guylian specialise in roasted hazelnut pralines they produce a wide variety of products including chocolate covered fruit pieces and chocolate truffles.
