LeonidasBelgian Chocolates: 1.50 lb General Assortment

This is the first product from Amazon that I wanted to give SIX or more stars. OMG. Melt in your mouth. Will make you throw rocks as Hershey bars. At this price they're more expensive than the best Kobe beef. And yet, still worth it. This will probably become a Valentine's Day tradition. (as long as wifey shares)

My friends got their chocolate and were delighted, but my message was not included

Leonidas chocolates put all other to shame. The flavors, mouth feel, presentation… everything about this product is above and beyond what you’d expect from a box of chocolates.

Five star love the taste

The best chocolates my wife and I have ever had. We thought we knew good chacolates having purchased and consumed more well know upper shelf chocolates before, but these blow all of them away. Do yourself a big favor and buy a box of these for yourself!!!! You may find yourself eating them all and not sharing one of them!!!1

While it was shipped to me insulated in styrofoam, no cold packs were included in the shipment--which was heading to Atlanta in early September (the American South in the summer). I assumed that since I was paying over $20 for shipping--the absolute fastest time, greater care would be taken to ensure that the product arrived intact. Unfortunately, the chocolates I received were largely melted. I do not recommend the purchase of this item to be shipped to any region experiencing temperatures above 78 degrees.UPDATE: Received an e-mail, which read (in part) as follows: First, my apologies for not answering you earlier... I didn't notice there was a melting issue with your order till late last week while addressing a small more recent delivery problem. Anyway, as you have noticed with your order, melting can and does happen in transit, but luckily only with an insignificant number of our packages as we only experience about two dozen or three dozen a year out of well over 15,000 packages. Insignificant when view in percentage terms, but still most infuriating when this happens.The e-mail went on to note that they are replacing my order. I am stunned--I have had a melting issue before with a different chocolate company (remember, I live in Atlanta, Georgia, where summer temperatures are a bear), and I received nothing in the way of satisfaction. I figured it would be the same and didn't even bother to directly contact the company (a mistake on my part). I am *very* pleased with this level of service.

People who spend this kind of money on belgian chocolate will likely never be able to afford a vacation in belgium.

Good chocolate but over priced.
