Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb Milk Chocolates Assortment

Many many years ago my husband was at a meeting in Belgium. He stopped off at a chocolatiers outside the train station in Antwerp. He bought home a one pound box of chocolates for his mother, and one for us to share. They were at least 50% butter and heavenly. We have been looking for chocolates that even approach them for 30 years. Even the same chocolatier's chocolates were awful by comparison because they weren't fresh and tasted like the butter had "gone off". These chocolates sold by Amazon from Leonidas at the time of Valentines Day are the closest yet. Treat yourself and your loved ones. These are half way to heaven.

High quality chocolates for at least 3 decades that I’ve been eating them! Maybe THE best! Well worth the price! I wish I could specify which ones I want included in the box (as I can do at their stores in Brussels).

Pretty good chocolate. Creamy and smooth. No jarring middles. My unrefined palate is happy with Hershey's though. If you find Hershey chocolate chalky or waxy, you'd probably enjoy this. My wife likes See's better but I enjoyed this more. One note: I got rush shipping because I was late ordering. It shipped from New York though, so I probably could have saved money and got it in about the same time.

My girl is from Belgium and these are her favorite. They are next level good

My wife fell in love with these when we traveled in Europe. It made the perfect Valentines present and I scored major husband points! So now I’ll have to buy some more for her birthday and Christmas or any other occasion. Thankfully she shares with me. :-)

Magnificent! I have yet to have eaten a piece that didn't curl my toes. This chocolate is that good. There's absolutely no bitterness in the dark chocolates, the fillings are to die for. I had always heard that European fine chocolates were better than American, but I had no idea they would be this good. Russell Stover, Whitmans...not even close--not in the same ballpark...and the chocolate aftertaste lasts on the palette for a good while.

For the cost, I was kind of disappointed. The chocolates are stacked in several layers, so you can only get to a couple of types at a time without digging through the package. The top layer was pretty seriously scuffed up. And there's no guide to tell flavors apart, either with the package or on the website; I was able to find some scattered info on a third party site though. Finally, a lot of the candies include coffee flavors which I don't like, but you couldn't tell that when ordering the assortment. I guess given the brand and the price, I was expecting a more elegant presentation and more "user friendly" experience. That said, this is the first time I've ever had a banana cream-filled chocolate, which was awesome for us fans of the under-utilized banana. And the chocolate coating is quite thick, if you're into that kind of thing.

Had a perfect transaction, with order arrival just as stated. Happy to order again. Thanks
