I had a chance to try these chocolates while in Holland. I only bought a few because I wasn't sure what they were (the sales person and I couldn't communicate past a few English words). Well, I am home now and I want more. I finally found them here... at a decent price and just this kind instead of a mixed box(which I am sure would be fine, but I want these and only these!)

If you like almonds and hazelnut, buy them, they are better than anything I have had from Godiva and that is saying a lot!

For those who have never tasted a creamy hazelnut/almond/chocolate praline, you must try this! It's Nutella times 100!! Keep in mind it is very rich and creamy. Leonidas also has a Gianduja Emballee which is pure hazelnut/chocolate paste, which is to die for! And for all those comments I see about Godiva comparisons, pah-lease...it's apples and oranges. Americans do not know that there is better chocolate out there. People- take a journey beyond Godiva and you'll never go back. Promise! :)

The Godiva kiosk closed in our local mall. I was very disappointed, because my family expects a selection of Godiva chocolates for Christmas, Easter and birthdays. However, they have their favorites, and unfortunately when ordering Godiva off-line, you have no choice but to purchase assortments over which the consumer has no input. They are selected and pre-packaged for you. So I was looking for other candy companies which might sell chocolates which approximated my family's favorite items, without having to buy extra candies they might not like. Enter this wonderful collection by Leonidas of Hazelnut and Almond praline-filled milk chocolate confections.

These are fantastically excellent chocolates -- just as good as, or better, than the Godiva signature oysters which my family loves. They arrived protected in styrofoam by overnight shipping. I will definitely be dealing with this seller again. I am very impressed and pleased by the chocolate and the high quality of the product. And the taste? Just heavenly.

Sent this to a friend as a thank you. Ordered it yesterday, she got it TODAY! I actually ordered the wrong thing & had to call Leonidas (in New York) the lady spoke broken English, but I explained, she changed the order & everything was wonderful! Susan shared a chocolate with me & I'm tellin ya, all the people that have said that Godiva doesn't even come close...are RIGHT!!! Excellente!!!!!!!

I've had several different kinds of chocolate and have had the pleasure of trying several kinds of Leonidas products offered. This one happens to be my favorite for many different reasons. I like it's soft, smooth, melt in your mouth with a hint of almond and hazelnut flavor. It's pure heaven. They are very rich and I can't have more than one or two a day, but it's awesome.

If you've never tried Leonidas Chocolates or have always thought other chocolates were just as good (Godiva, etc...) then I highly recommend Leonidas Assortment Product (see link below) to try the various styles and chocolates offered.

I promise you wont' be sorry and you'll love the service of this company as well!!!

Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb General Assortment

These chocolates are such a great find! I was looking for a special type of hazelnut chocolate called gianduja. I searched for it and found this perfect selection! It is the smoothest, creamiest hazelnut chocolate I have found. A little on the pricey side but TOTALLY WORTH IT! People I know who aren't that crazy about chocolate or hazelnut chocolate specifically have LOVED it and wanted more! I bought some during the Christmas season and shared it (out of holiday spirit) but kind of wish I had saved more for myself!

This was a gift of chocolate for someone I know very little about. She was absolutely thrilled with it!

I gave this a gift to a chocolate lover, and she loved it. She actually hid it from everybody else so she wouldn't have to share it. This is a 30 year old woman. Well anyways just be aware that its a very small package so don't expect to dazzle anybody with size; however, it comes very nicely packed.

If it's not from Leonidas, it's not chocolate. Simply put, they're the best chocolates. Once you've tasted them, you will never want to try chocolates made by other companies.

Plain and simple. This chocolate is very delicious. Well worth the money. If you have not tried this you should.
