Upon hearing that I love chocolate, a friend sent this. I ate a couple of pieces and threw the rest away. It was waxy and not the least bit sweet. Choxie is creamier and more flavorful than this stuff.

These are definitely “mid-range” chocolates, not quite as good as Godiva or See’s. If you’re used to low-end chocolates like Fannie May or Russell Stover, you’ll probably find these to be very good. However, if you’re used to very good chocolates like La Maison du Chocolat, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
I found the chocolate to have unexceptional flavor and a somewhat waxy texture. The fillings were mostly very sweet or alcoholic, which is a common practice to cover up mediocre chocolate.
I guess they’re a good value compared to Godiva, although I think See’s Candies has an even better value. Don’t expect Leonidas to compare to a high-end chocolatier.

First thing is their web site. It is terrible. I wanted to complain about their candy but was unable to do so on account of the web site. Secondly, there were little sugar crystals imbedded in the chocolate that were quite noticeable and ruined both the flavor and the texture. I would not buy them again.

These made my Mom’s day. She LOVES dark chocolate and this was a treasure trove for her and she can’t thank me enough for sending these. She says they’re smoother, less bitter and less sweet than Hershey’s.

Yes, twin brother Keith sent his twin sister, Cheryl, Leonidas Belgian chocolate for her birthday, in a heart-warming act of sibling sentiment. It seemed to work extremely well, as his twin noted an unassailable urge to consume the entire box, ruining her fitness regime for many weeks. Keith plans to write an extremely positive review about his clever and thoughtful gift, which apparently hit the spot. Stay tuned for his final installment.
