Leonidas Belgian Chocolates1 lb Dark Chocolates Assortment

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!

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.

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.

When and actually every time you reach into this box you do not know what your getting. You will not be disappointed though, because the surprise is worth the suspense!!! These Chocolates are as good as any of the Best Chocolates out there. If your a Dark Chocolate lover buy these for yourself or give as a present to someone who will appreciate the thoughtfulness of you and Leonidas.I know what I will be buying for Mothers day and Valentines day and again for myself when I finish these. Good Luck.PS you may want to check if they deliver these in the Summer Time because of the Temps.

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.

My Father loves dark chocolate for his health and enjoys this brand of chocolate

If you are a dark chocolate lover, this is not satisfying.After a recent trip to Brussels, we had the opportunity to try many amazing chocolatiers but skipped out on Leonidas as they seemed more "mass market". After missing the taste of yummy Belgian dark pralines, I decided to give this one a try.It is a good value for your dollar in terms of quantity, but the chocolate itself was not what I imagined it to be based on reviews. The chocolate tasted bland and diluted. At times, I questioned whether they were milk chocolates. It was nice to get two of each type, but the chocolate was missing that "melt in your mouth", dark decadence I was craving.The fillings weren't really remarkable either. It seemed as through they recycled the same butter cream and crisp filling quite often.

This year we ordered these dark chocolates and also bought a package of dark chocolates from Godiva. The Godiva dark chocolate box is $36 for 10.5 oz. (really, it's on their website). These are the same price for a full pound. And they come from Belgium, where people are very fussy about chocolates, and proud of their chocolates. It is not just the price. The taste difference is amazing. These are the real thing, a pleasure from first to last. We lived in France, where chocolate shops abound, and Leonidas was quite competitive against the artisan shops.
