I don't do reviews very often, but these chocolates were awesome. I bought them for my wife on Mother's day and she was very happy with them and shared them with me. She's a chocolate snob and she loved this chocolate. Thanks Leonidas!Buy Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 Pack White Chocolate with Fruit and 1 Pack Dark Origins Mini Bars!
This "marzipan" arrived fresh, sweet, and cute, but the flavor of almonds, which makes marzipan, marzipan was non existant. Save your money on this one.Buy Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1.50 lb Marzipan Fruits!
Possibly the best chocolate in the world. Cornet D'Ore is simply heavenly. It truly is worth it's weight in gold. I brought some with me from vacation in Belgium in 2006. Ordered this chocolate from Amazon twice since. The price for 36 pcs is pretty much the same all over the Internet. Excellent chocolates!Buy Belgian Chocolates: Neuhaus Specialty Selection: Cornet D'Ore, 36 pcs!
When I worked in a French restaurant, Callebaut was the only chocolate allowed to be used in the kitchen. This Belgian chocolate adds much better flavor to baked goods and specialty desserts than does the average chocolate found in the grocery store. I highly recommend it for serious bakers and those who want their desserts to stand out.
Bittersweet chocolate is not to be confused with unsweetened; it is a dark chocolate without an overly sweet taste. Special occasion cakes and pastries often use bittersweet to give an intense chocolate flavor without overwhelming the palate.Buy Callebaut Bittersweet Baking Chocolate (1.1 pound) by igourmet.com!
Yummy, Really good dark chocolate and the aniseed taste is subtle. This stuff could be addictive. I bought this chocolate bar locally so I don't know about shipping or service. The chocolate bar has whole aniseeds just like you find at an Indian restaurant.Buy Dolfin Dark Chocolate Bar with Green Aniseed-70g!
This is absolutely wonderful chocolate - very smooth, very dark. The packaging is great fun too.Buy Galler Dark Chocolate Cat's Tongues in a Box!
When my then husband first brought me back a box of Neuhaus chocolates from Europe, I knew I had found the best. From that first box, I have always compared the quality of the chocolates that I buy or are given to me, by the standards of Neuhaus. Especially perfect is the "fresh cream" chocolates, which are harder to come by here in the United States as they lose their freshness faster than other packaged confections, so when shipped from Belgium, they must be sent overnight, increasing the cost.
I purchased this box, advertised as 250 gr., or 8.8 oz., just before Christmas, as my order from Neuhaus direct was held up, and I wanted to have some for Christmas eve. It arrived in perfect condition, but the box is only 200 gr., 7 oz., so I felt a bit cheated.
The quality is excellent, presentation nice, and the taste delicious. Neuhaus chocolates are of excellent quality in every regard. One chocolate from the box is more satisfying than several of any other chocolates. I like the smoothly velvet feeling as the chocolate melts in the mouth, the subtle releasing of flavors as the fillings reach the taste-buds when the chocolate melts. These rich, dense chocolates are a treasure in every bite. They are worth the price. You will not find them as sweet and sugary, or the fillings smoothly glossy like corn syrup based fillings of creams and fondants so popular in cheaper chocolates. The richness of the chocolate, and the freshness of the taste are superior to lesser brands.
These were a present to myself, and I am very happy with my gift!
I believe if you try them, you will not be disappointed.Buy Neuhaus Belgian Chocolates: The Neuhaus Connoisseur: Milk, White and Dark Chocolates (250 gr. / 8,8 oz.)!
These were awesome! Very creamy, not waxy at all. A wonderful combination of white chocolate and peanut butter. My only complaint would be that they are pretty small. We were surprised when we received them that the whole box is only about 7 inches square.Buy Handmade Belgian White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups - 16pc!
I picked up a 1 KG box of Neuhaus while in Belgium a few years ago. They are amazing. If you can afford their hefty price tag, you will be well rewarded.

Leonidas Kestekidis definitely knew how to make people happy. When he moved back to Belgium he not only married his true love, he created chocolates the world now adores. When you taste these chocolates, your taste buds will also finally know true happiness.
If you were to travel to the Manon Café in NYC, you could enjoy a hot chocolate made with pure Leonidas chocolate. Eight squares of chocolate melt blissfully into warm milk and you can choose from Orange Abyss, Cinnamon Sin or Manon Mint.
To prepare these sinfully delicious hot chocolates at home, simply melt the chocolates into about 11 ounces of boiling or steamed milk if you have an espresso machine. You can then top your hot chocolate with whipping cream and nutmeg, cinnamon or the topping of your choosing.
My two favorite flavors are Cinnamon and Orange. If you have been dreaming of the most delicious orange flavored chocolates in the world, you have to try the Orange Napolitains. I love both equally, although the cinnamon flavor has me completely seduced.
I prefer to savor each piece of cinnamon chocolate with a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The warmth of the beverage creates an entirely different experience than if you were to simply taste a square of chocolate on its own. Once your mouth is warmed, take a small bite of the chocolate square and enter Cinnamon Chocolate Oblivion. The world stops for minutes at a time as you savor a mingling of the best cinnamon you have ever tasted with the silkiest creamiest Belgian chocolate in the world.
If you wish to try all the Napolitains, I'd suggest the 1 pound sampler Ballotin with six varieties. Leonidas now has over 1700 stores and sales locations worldwide and they offer over 80 varieties of fresh chocolates. The chocolates are air freighted weekly from Brussels so you will always find the quality to be superior. My chocolates arrived fast and were as fresh as if I had purchased them in Belgium. They were carefully packaged in the famous gold boxes with signature wrapping and a ribbon. The boxes were then placed in protective Styrofoam containers to protect the chocolates during shipping. The expedited shipping is recommended from May to early September.
