Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb Signature Dark Chocolates Assortment

Yes, twin brother Keith sent his twin sister, Cheryl, Leonidas Belgian chocolate for her birthday, in a heart-warming act of sibling sentiment. It seemed to work extremely well, as his twin noted an unassailable urge to consume the entire box, ruining her fitness regime for many weeks. Keith plans to write an extremely positive review about his clever and thoughtful gift, which apparently hit the spot. Stay tuned for his final installment.

First thing is their web site. It is terrible. I wanted to complain about their candy but was unable to do so on account of the web site. Secondly, there were little sugar crystals imbedded in the chocolate that were quite noticeable and ruined both the flavor and the texture. I would not buy them again.

My wife loves dark chocolate. She formerly ate only Godiva, but when that company changed form vanilla to vanillin, she no longer liked it. She LOVES this stuff. She says that you can taste the fresh and she doesn't want anything else.

I have traveled in several countries in Europe and ALWAYS try the local chocolates. My friend was coming to visit me from the Netherlands and brought this Belgium chocolate for my husband. It was unbelievable! Definitely the best chocolate we both have ever had. My husband still mentions it and it has almost been a year since she has come so instead of buying a birthday cake this year I am going to surprise him with a box of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates and I'm sure he will not be disappointed!

I bought some of these chocolates for my mother for her birthday. I was a little scared about the quality since they were significantly cheaper than Godiva, etc... BUT my mom (a chocolate connesieur) said that these were some of the best chocolates she has ever had! If you're considering chocolates, go with these and save some $$--they are a great value!

Said they were among the best chocolates she's ever had.
So that is good enough for me. They arrived sooner than advertised so I was happy.

Awesome, simply awesome. Bought these for myself, of course, and I loved them. I thank myself everytime I put one in my mouth.

i have to disagree with the reviewer who said these are not as good as godiva - no disrespect to godiva chocolates, i enjoy them, but imho these bury godiva or any other dark chocolate i have ever had. i treat my self to 1/night. great chocolate!

This is the second year I ordered this assortment for Christmas gifts. My family now thinks I am wonderful. Thanks, Leonidas.

These are the most delicious chocolates. Belgium makes the best dark chocolate. These were as fresh as when we had purchased them in Belgium. Each chocolate was a magnificent treat!

These are definitely "mid-range" chocolates, not quite as good as Godiva or See's. If you're used to low-end chocolates like Fannie May or Russell Stover, you'll probably find these to be very good. However, if you're used to very good chocolates like La Maison du Chocolat, you'll be sorely disappointed.

I found the chocolate to have unexceptional flavor and a somewhat waxy texture. The fillings were mostly very sweet or alcoholic, which is a common practice to cover up mediocre chocolate.

I guess they're a good value compared to Godiva, although I think See's Candies has an even better value. Don't expect Leonidas to compare to a high-end chocolatier.

I really didn't know much about this type of chocolate and took a chance and got a box. This was a Christmas present for my wife but after all the good stuff we read we had to break into it a month early. I thought to myself how much differently could this really taste than the American chocolate I am used to. It comes in a box that you get to unwrap and untie the bow. This chocolate is the best ever and after tasting and finishing off the entire box we couldn't wait to get another. That will have to wait though for the price but it was worth what we paid. Do yourself a favor and pay the price just to try it out.

These made my Mom's day. She LOVES dark chocolate and this was a treasure trove for her and she can't thank me enough for sending these. She says they're smoother, less bitter and less sweet than Hershey's.

Forty-three pieces of delicious chocolate candies can make anyone's mouth melt. It's a great gift for anyone of any age, especially that special someone. It comes in a cleverly designed box, presentation is everything! Well, not in this case, these chocolates are made of quality ingredients and combine to make an amazing taste. Don't settle for second best, impress anyone with this chocolate treat.

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He says its one of his best gifts ever; every evening he looks forward to "rewarding" himself with one of these chocolates.

I recently bought this item for a friend whom I rarely get to see because we live far away from one another. Her birthday was coming right up, and I found out from another friend that she loved dark chocolate. Amazon.com shipped the item very quickly. I had been contemplating sending the item with expedited service, but ended up assuming my friend wouldn't care one way or the other if the item arrived on time for her birthday. In fact, the item showed up just two days later, ON TIME for her birthday, when I had just paid for standard delivery. My friend immediately sent me a very excited e-mail thanking me for the present, and said that she loved it. Thanks, amazon!

Upon hearing that I love chocolate, a friend sent this. I ate a couple of pieces and threw the rest away. It was waxy and not the least bit sweet. Choxie is creamier and more flavorful than this stuff.
