Stern "Elizabeth" | 4 | 4 | 5 | 1200009600 | Makes a great present! | I recently bought this item for a friend whom I rarely get to see because we live far away from one another. Her birthday was coming right up, and I found out from another friend that she loved dark chocolate. Amazon.com shipped the item very quickly. I had been contemplating sending the item with expedited service, but ended up assuming my friend wouldn't care one way or the other if the item arrived on time for her birthday. In fact, the item showed up just two days later, ON TIME for her birthday, when I had just paid for standard delivery. My friend immediately sent me a very excited e-mail thanking me for the present, and said that she loved it. Thanks, amazon! |

The chocolates prompted an immediate phone call and a "wow." My recipient and I were thrilled. |

I didn't even buy my chocolate from amazon but from the the Leonidas website directly. It is phenominal. It is delicious. It is the best chocolate ever! The dark chocolate assortment is my favorite. The fillings are like little clouds of deliciousnesss!
These chocolates are so good, I sought out a place to rave about them. |

It comes in a box that you get to unwrap and untie the bow. This chocolate is the best ever and after tasting and finishing off the entire box we couldn't wait to get another. That will have to wait though for the price but it was worth what we paid. Do yourself a favor and pay the price just to try it out. I really didn't know much about this type of chocolate and took a chance and got a box. This was a Christmas present for my wife but after all the good stuff we read we had to break into it a month early. I thought to myself how much differently could this really taste than the American chocolate I am used to. |

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. |

The Godiva dark chocolate box is $36 for 10.5 oz. (really, it's on their website). These are the same price for a full pound. And they come from Belgium, where people are very fussy about chocolates, and proud of their chocolates. It is not just the price. The taste difference is amazing. These are the real thing, a pleasure from first to last. We lived in France, where chocolate shops abound, and Leonidas was quite competitive against the artisan shops. |

Thanks, Leonidas and Amazon! I'm very satisfied with this order. |

When they arrived they were a bit battered, but still taste great.
I emailed the seller, not for a replacement, but just to say that the chocolates were really good but the packaging left a bit to be desired.
The seller over nighted a replacement box to us. Great customer service, and very enjoyable chocolates. I will definitely buy from them again !
Thank you ! |

They ship overnight, so it arrives fresh. It is not shipped in any special insulation beyond a hefty Styrofoam insert that holds the chocolates inside the shipping box, so you definitely want to order this during the cool months--I'm sure it will melt en route during the summer. |

Gerhardt "design engineer" | 0 | 0 | 5 | 1304035200 | Quality ingredients produce quality chocolates! | I give these chocolates to others for special occasions as gifts. They have never let me down. When you say Belgium, I say Leonidas. Dark chocolate can be an aquired taste, to know what is good. This dark chocolate is superb! In bars you can tell the crisp fresh break of quailty dark chocolate and the aroma and the taste. These creams just blend their ingredients with the dark chocolate to create an exquisite taste. Bottom line, They don't skimp on the ingredients and as long as they don't, I will continue to buy their products. The packaging is great because it comes gift wrapped already. I would like to see how its made and the people who make it.
Cheaper than a ticket to Belgium and always delivered fresh! |

These are by far the best chocolates on the market in the U.S. Godiva seems like Hersheys in comparison. I was used to to mixed Leonidas collection (white and mild), but the dark chocolate is heaven and even better. |

Their wonderful, personal touch customer service (rectified a delivery problem immediately) and the BEST dark chocolate I've tasted (as a dedicated, life long chocolate snob) make Leonidas Belgian chocolates a keeper. A well earned reputation.
To Jacques and Tess, thank you again...Heerlijke! Magnifique! Delicious! |

My friend was coming to visit me from the Netherlands and brought this Belgium chocolate for my husband. It was unbelievable! Definitely the best chocolate we both have ever had. My husband still mentions it and it has almost been a year since she has come so instead of buying a birthday cake this year I am going to surprise him with a box of Leonidas Belgian Chocolates and I'm sure he will not be disappointed! |

Seidman "Jim" | 9 | 20 | 3 | 1229904000 | Average chocolate, strong fillings | 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. |

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. |

Sour pickles almost do not exist. This is as close to the old style in the large cans and jars as it gets. If you want a REAL Sour Pickle then this is it. Even the juice is good. And I beg you to keep making them and get the word out. You will be glad. I ordered two jars and now will be ordering for Christmas Presents and a lot more for myself as our entire family loves sour pickles. Be sure to chill as that brings out the flavor.

I never purchased prepared baby food for my children, I made my own ... but my little grandson loves this stuff. I bought the fruit variety and vegetable variety packs for my daughter-in-law and also had the same shipped to me because I care for him while mom and dad are at work. The other fruits and veggies he is ok with but he goes bananas for the bananas. I am ordering a case of just bananas because he likes it so much. I hope to have the time to start preparing homemade baby food by the time he runs out of what I already have. If not, I will keep supplementing with Earth's Best brand of baby food. |
