Leonidas Belgian Chocolates1 lb Dark Chocolates Assortment

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.

I give these chocolates to others for special occasions as gifts. They have never let me down. When you say Belgium, I say Leonidas. Dark chocolate can be an aquired taste, to know what is good. This dark chocolate is superb! In bars you can tell the crisp fresh break of quailty dark chocolate and the aroma and the taste. These creams just blend their ingredients with the dark chocolate to create an exquisite taste. Bottom line, They don't skimp on the ingredients and as long as they don't, I will continue to buy their products. The packaging is great because it comes gift wrapped already. I would like to see how its made and the people who make it.Cheaper than a ticket to Belgium and always delivered fresh!

Decent enough taste but no real variety and the tiny little box it comes in is more like warehouse packaging. Upon opening, all the little dividers inside were strewn about and it was chaos. Wayyy to much money for a failed visually appearance and lack of variety.

While just fine if satisfying your own cravings for fine dark chocolate (these will certainly satisfy), I think the fact that the packaging isn't "dimpled" for each piece may be the culprit for some of the coatings breaking off, along with some minor denting of the pieces, particularly as you work your way to the bottom level. I would only consider buying these as a present for someone else only if I found these at a fine chocolates shop. Nothing wrong with the outer packaging, and the flavors are really well orchestrated. Suspending the box in a styrofoam shell within the outer shipper may not be the most sustainable solution, but these will be my go-to for my next craving.

I ordered a 2 lb ballotin as a special Christmas treat just before the holiday. We've had Leonidas chocolate before, but not for some time. When I received it, upon removing the package from the styrofoam insulation, I noticed a sticky residue leaking through the gift wrap. I opened the package and found several damaged chocolates inside. The shipping box was fine, so I assumed it must have happened during the original filling of the box. I contacted the seller the next morning with some photos of the state of the package, and within 10 minutes I received a note indicating they would replace the box via Next Day Air (just before Christmas) and they did! So we were able to enjoy this special treat in perfect condition in time for the holidays!

The taste was average. One of the pieces, with a soft center, had a crystalized texture. Not worth the price.

Made a great thank you gift.
