I was a little scared about the quality since they were significantly cheaper than Godiva, etc... BUT my mom (a chocolate connesieur) said that these were some of the best chocolates she has ever had! If you're considering chocolates, go with these and save some $$--they are a great value!

She LOVES dark chocolate and this was a treasure trove for her and she can't thank me enough for sending these. She says they're smoother, less bitter and less sweet than Hershey'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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. Rating: 3 / 5 These are definitely “mid-range” chocolates, not quite as good as Godiva or See’s.

I ate a couple of pieces and threw the rest away. It was waxy and not the least bit sweet. Choxie is creamier and more flavorful than this stuff.
