Belgian chocolate

If you know anyone who loves chocolate and need a gift, look no further. Here you have Leonidas Belgian Chocolates (Classic General Assortment) and it comes in an elegant box with a brown ribbon around it.
Wonderful and Delicious!

These are the most delicious chocolates I have ever eaten and I worship chocolate! Not really, but seriously I have had Godiva Chocolate, Malley's chocolate, Norman Love chocolate in Florida, and Brandt's chocolate in Willoughby Ohio. Everywhere I go, I sample the chocolate. I received these as a gift from my brother and they are literally out of this world. The flavor is sumptuous, the texture is fabulous. Each one is a delight. I highly recommend these and I am glad I can order them myself! Yum yum!
mmmmmmmm

I grew up on Leonidas. I would go visit family overseas and always had to bring a kilo back for my mother (this was back when you couldnt order it online, let alone find it in a shop in the US). And I have to say - they have yet to decline in quality. They are as superb now as they were then! I highly recommend all them.
Belgian chocolates..mmmm... and Leonidas is the best....,

This is a review I wrote awhile back for Leonidas from another supplier who no longer sells it here on Amazon:
Well, I could not believe I found Leonidas chocolates on [...]. For 4 years btwn 2000-2004 I lived half time in Belgium with native Belgians and half time in the US. SO I got to learn Belgian culture form the inside, not as a tourist. Throughout the north part (the Dutch part) of Belgium, one finds family owned chocolate shops everywhere. There are also the chains. One chain was Leonidas, and it was their chocolates I loved the most. The Belgians did not consider them the elite -- more "rough: and middle-class, Godiva was consider more "elegant." But in truth it was pretty standard when you were invited to someone's home for dinner or whatever, you almost always brought a box of Leonidas chocolates with you to give to the host.
I would make several trips back to the US each year and I was always lugging boxes and boxes of Leonidas chocolates with me. Usually about 20 lobs or more -- to give as gifts to people. People just died for them.
You couldn't get them over here in the US, you could get their competitors. When you get chocolates on Belgium, they do not have preservatives as they have to have to come over here. The chocolates would literally spoil in about 10 days (which meant you had to eat them right away :-) ) But to get them over here in the US, the chocolates had to have preservatives in them SO Godiva in the US tasted no where near as good as Godiva in Europe. Leonidas, at the time, did not export their products. So even though I do not know the particular product here, though I am sure it is great, it also has to have preservatives in it or it would not survive.
But regardless, Leonidas is really the best, even though the Belgians don't want to admit it. (Belgians have an incredible inferiority complex -- people in Europe make jokes about Belgians the way people in the US make slurrish jokes about various immigrant minorities.) Godiva I believe is French... And I am sure that is why the Belgians think it superior to their own product... shame...
mmmm... chocolate!

This is my guilty pleasure. I was surprised to find food on Amazon and when I came across these chocolates, I couldn't resists trying them. Now I regret that because I've ordered 3 boxes of them now. I sit and sew and eat chocolate. It's so bad, yet so good. I have to hide them from my kids because they'll attack and eat them all! There also great to take for dinner parties. Chocolate lovers beware, you won't be able to resist!
