I think I received a bad batch of Manon Cafe and Manon Blanc–they were a bit squished and tasted maybe past their prime. Heat wasn’t a factor in the shipping process–I ordered these in January in Seattle. Or, maybe these chocolates have a different consistency than the other assortments. In the future, I think I’ll stick with their Milk Chocolate or Dark Chocolate assortments.

When in doubt for a gift, this one is a sure-fire hit. This has become my go-to gift. These are excellent chocolates and have been a huge hit with all the recipients including me!

I know some people will say “aw you just don’t know nothing about chocolate” or “aw you didn’t major in chocolate in college” or “aw you and Stalin have the same taste in chocolate so who will listen to you” but believe it or not I did not find these great or worth bragging on. I loved the dark chocolate and the milk I had before from Leonidas and I finished them in a day. These I found to be rather bland and after eating a couple I was ready to give them up and eat something else. I found them really enjoyable though with a nice hot cup of coffee. With the taste in mind I even let my wife taste and she agreed that these are not of the same taste quality as what we had before. I think some people will eat these and love them and think they are great but they are just not for me. Its kind of like when my brother use to eat ketchup sandwiches and loved them so I decided to try it and the taste just wasn’t for me and in fact was quite terrible. I am not a trying to be a jerk but I find that a lot of people have a hard time believing that we all don’t have the same taste but I hope if they struggle with my review they will seek help and counseling and come to an understanding.

This is by far the best white chocolate out there! Coffee-cream center is soft and melts in your mouth but is not nauseatingly sweet like some other types of fillings. Outside white chocolate is sweet and vanilla-flavored but does not overwhelm the senses as you bite down into the chocolate. I don’t know how Leonidas does it – crispy white chocolate outside but soft and buttery inside! You hear a soft crunch as you bite into the white chocolate but the coffee cream just gives in without any resistance and begins to melt in your mouth! I don’t know if it’s the coffee in the butter cream or not but you will get a high that just makes you feel really happy! This tastes like crispy vanilla chocolate on the outside with coffee butter pudding on the inside! Very sensual and hits the taste buds just right!

Once you try these chocolates from Leonidas you will never want anything else! I first discovered these when I lived in Belgium in the 80’s and have never forgotten them. The taste is simply incredible…melt in your mouth good.
