They fly like hot sandwiches, or well balls, over the counter: the white chocolate balls from Bakker Guido from Aarle-Rixtel. First in the province, at the request of a regular customer, he came up with the white chocolate ball. In the meantime, the baker is just busy making the bulbs. Only this Thursday he already processed ten kilos of white chocolate.
It is very busy in the bakery since the story about the chocolate balls came in the news. “People come all the way from Tilburg to buy the white chocolate ball here,” says Marie-Jose van Brug, the sister of Bakker Guido. “He has already made a fittings five times this morning,” she knows. And Guido has to get used to that bustle. “Tomorrow he has to start again at two o’clock in the morning,” says his sister.
The story of the now wanted white delicacy began with the dream of Monique Looy. “I wanted white chocolate balls and asked if he could make it,” she told Omroep Brabant earlier. “I came back every time and then said: are they not there yet? But in the end he started to make them and it worked!”

“Guido has had to drive a number of times to the supplier of the chocolate last week,” his sister continues. Where only a few white chocolate balls were sold a day, the counter now taps around seven hundred to a thousand white bulbs a day. Only this Thursday the bakery already has 140 orders.
The creation of Guido also yielded a stream of messages on social media. From ‘hopefully more bakers pack this to’ to ‘there is a reason why this has not been made before’. In the meantime, the bakery in Aarle-Rixtel cannot get up.
