This review is from: Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb Signature Orangettes - Dark Chocolate Covered Orange Peel (Misc.)

The product description calls the Orangettes "Belgian Vitamin C." Except for the luxury price, I'm sure Belgians must be pretty healthy with these around. They're amazing! The combination of orange peel and chocolate has long been popular, but Leonidas does it very well. The dark chocolate is very rich, not bitter, and completely covers the orange peel (which retains a good flavor and isn't overly sweet). Unlike other chocolatiers who often dip the peel only partially, Leonidas has made certain to put their chocolate center stage by using a generous portion. The result is an addictive treat because the flavors linger on the palate and the Orangettes aren't so sweet as to become cloying.

I don't know if these guys are really going to improve your health, but they will definitely improve your day. In my opinion, they're worth the money as an occasional purchase and certainly worth a one-time try.

The packaging is a gold box, wrapped in blue and white Leonidas paper with a gilt deep purple box. For shipping, the package was placed inside a sturdy styrofoam shell. Mine arrived within three days and looked like I'd purchased them at the store to give as a gift.

This was my dad's absolute favorite candy. He loved orange and bittersweet chocolate best of any flavors and this was, for him a match made in heaven. I adore it as well. After my dad passed away, I found a stash of them in his cupboard. They aren't easy to find, but they make a most welcome after-dinner sweet with coffee for guests.

even it is abit expensive to buy sometimes, but I find that the quality is exceptional, great taste, great packaging, and still cheaper than some other brands with a better taste. The texture and taste are just right!
The shipping comes in 2 days, great wrap and bow like its for a present, comes in a foam box. I never had any shipping problems at all.
