I spent quite a bit of time in Brussels, Belgium and these are by far the best chocolates available there. I am so happy they are available online. Now I can have them whenever I want. Definitely worth the price!!!!!!!!!!

It isn't easy getting better than these chocolates.... and at this price who in their right mind could complain. Be glad you are getting the best for the best price available!!

This was my first time with Leonidas chocolates. I love the texture, flavor, taste, everything. I would certainly recommend them to my friends.

These chocolates are the ones I first tasted in Brussels, Belgium. The smooth creamy taste of rich praline centers and rich Belgian chocolate is one of my favorite memories from my travels in Europe. These chocolates are made with fresh butter and fresh cream. The dark chocolate contains a minimum of 54% cocoa and is made from cocoa paste, sugar, and cocoa butter.

Leonidas has over 1700 stores and sales locations worldwide and they offer over 80 varieties of fresh chocolates. The chocolates are air freighted weekly from Brussels so you will always find the quality to be superior.

My chocolates arrived fast and were as fresh as if I had purchased them in Belgium. They were carefully packaged in the famous boxes with signature wrapping and a ribbon. The boxes were then placed in protective Styrofoam containers to protect the chocolates during shipping.

I prefer to savor these chocolates at room temperature after removing one or two from the refrigerator (best to keep them fresh because of the fresh cream). In this way you bite through the firm outer shell and happen upon the creamiest filling imaginable. If there is a better chocolate, I haven't tasted it. Such perfection! These are chocolates you must eat slowly, letting them melt in your mouth as the superior richness fills your mouth with chocolate bliss.

While I am in love with the quality of Leonidas' chocolates, the customer service and shipping speed is equally impressive. The expedited shipping is recommended from May to early September.

I never should have gotten these for my wife, everyone I have had taste them LOVES them.
I try to get these for my wife at least once if not twice a year.
I have never had better chocolate before.

My husband recently purchased these as a surprise for my birthday.

Mine came wrapped in a celadon green paper with a floral embellishment and ribbon on the top of the box. All of this was packaged in thick styrofoam and placed in a white cardboard box. Unfortunately I had a very careless UPS driver who decided to just toss the box off the front steps and left it in the HOT California sun. Thank goodness I managed to see the white box that clearly indicated there were CHOCOLATES inside. I probably should have filed a complaint, but miraculously, only one or two on the top started to melt but were still salvageable.

The chocolates themselves are so very good! I like the assortment of creams and pralines and, if I am not mistaken, there is a hint of liqueur in some of them. I agree with the other reviews that these must be eaten slowly and savored - they are that good!

My husband can surprise me with these chocolates again anytime :-)

I love chocolate and prefer Belgian or Swiss to other types. However, this didn't measure up. The packaging was beautiful. But after opening the package, the first thing I noticed was the chocolate was oxidized. Who knows how they have been sitting around.

The chocolates themselves weren't much better than Hershey's. I would compare them the Pot of Gold boxes that Hershey puts out around Christmas. Maybe slightly better, but not for the price.

This is excellent chocolate. I have purchased this chocolate in The Netherlands on several occasions for family and coworkers. Nothing but rave reviews. If you're buying a gift for a true chocolate lover, you can't miss with this one.

These are divine! My mother fell in love with them in Belgium years ago. I am so happy to find a source for them here--they hhave become my "go to" gift for her birthday/Mother's Day, etc.
