These taste great are are nicely packaged. They made perfect Christmas gifts and would be a great gift for any occasion. I am not a big fan of dark chocolate, but these are not bitter at all. The chocolate goes perfect with the liquor filling.
Customer Review: Great but too expensive
I grew up in Germany and miss German chocolate even after 26 years. These were available all year long when I lived in Germany and have never been considered a holiday candy. Amazon's price is still more expensive than having them shipped directly from Germany. Too bad.

Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 1 lb Napolitain Orange Dark Chocolate Squares

Napolitain Orange, an exotic blend of dark chocolate and orange. The perfect accompaniment to coffee after dinner with friends.
Customer Review: Dreams of Orange Chocolate Perfection
If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time. ~Marcel Proust Imagine you are drinking coffee or a chai tea and your mouth is warm from the heat of your beverage. You then take the smallest bite of an Orange Napolitain and suddenly your mouth is filled with the exotic flavor of melting dark chocolate busting with the flavor of orange. It is similar to the flavor of a candied orange peel so you have the flavor of orange zest mysteriously escaping from what could only be described as the silkiest dark chocolate in the world. Definitely an Indulgence that reveals culinary genius! Each piece is individually wrapped in a beautiful orange wrapping displaying the shield of the Greek warrior Leonidas, King of Sparta. The chocolates are actually named after the founder Leonidas Kestekidis who immigrated to the United States and then moved to Belgium. I first tasted Leonidas chocolates while in Brussels, Belgium. Since then, I have wondered about where I could purchase these delicious chocolates without having to fly to Belgium. I must say that once you taste a Leonidas praline filled chocolate, you will remember the taste for life! Since reviewing at Amazon, I discovered chocolates in gold boxes that resembled the boxes I remembered from Belgium. Enlightenment! 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. If you wish to try all the Napolitains, I'd suggest the 1 pound sampler Ballotin with six varieties. You may also want to look for the new Palet d'Or. A deeply delicious and strong bitter chocolate filled with ganache. The center is made with butter, cream and chocolate and the outer coating is a masterpiece with gold decorations. If you prefer milk chocolates, look for the Milk Chocolate Assortment. They also have a dark, white and milk chocolate assortment. The chocolates can also be ordered in smaller party favor boxes and they will definitely impress your guests. If you have been dreaming of the most delicious orange flavored chocolates in the world, you have to try these chocolates. You can nibble on them while drinking hot chocolate, chai tea or coffee. If you fall in love with the orange flavor, wait until you taste the cinnamon Napolitains. ~The Rebecca Review

Peanut Butter Cups with Milk Chocolate - 24 Units / 1.2 oz

The Newman's Own Organics' brand, an N inside an O is stamped on the 3-ounce bars.
Customer Review: Delicious, but be careful!
These peanut butter cups are absolutely delicious. After these, Reese's just don't have any appeal. They are mostly organic and make for a delightful treat. But be careful, they are very addictive and quite fattening!
Customer Review: Better for you, better tasting than 'the other PNB cup'....
I never was one of those women that swooned over Paul Newman in his movie days, but I have come to trust his gourmet food products, esp his candy. I have tried several of his organic candy products and this is one of the best. It's not as sweet as Reese's Cups, and a little drier, but I love the chocolate to PNB ratio. It's more of a piece of quality chocolate with a little PNB stuff, rather than the Reeses version of lots of PNB with a light coat of cheap chocolate. The chocolate is smooth and delicious, not too dark or sweet, just right. They are packaged well, 3 smaller cups fitted into a molded plastic tray in a heavy foil lined wrapper. They were packaged so well, in fact, that I recently found 3 pkgs I had bought on clearance (so already a bit aged) and opened them 8 months later and they were still good. So delicious, actually, that I decided to write this review. If you are expecting an organic version of Reeses's PNB Cups, you will be disappointed, but Newman's definitely tops the charts where 'health-food' candy is concerned (some of which can be kinda nasty), this is the best "healthy" candy I have found so far. Wouldn't mind continuing an official search, though! Really want to try his sweet dark chocolate with orange oil! FYI-I recently read that chocolate is one of those food items that organic is important due to how chocolate is processed. So..chocoholics, go organic!

Ibarra Mexican Chocolate, 18.6 oz

Ibarra sweet chocolate laced with cinnamon and covered in coarse sugar. A Novamex product. MEXICAN CHOCOLATE Serve your Mexican Chocolate with churros! INGREDIENTS 3.3 oz tablet of Mexican chocolate 2-1/2 cups milk 1 tsp sugar 1/2 tsp cinnamon INSTRUCTIONS To make Mexican hot chocolate, break tablet of Mexican chocolate into pieces and bring it to a simmer with milk. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and well-combined. Mexican chocolate is traditionally beaten to a froth with a wooden implement called "molinillo". You can imitiate the effect by putting a small amount of your chocolate at a time in a blender and briefly pulsing it.
Price: $3.85
Customer Review: taste is awful
When I was incarcerated in a Mexican prison, this was the only drink in the joint. We had to fix it with goat's milk and heat it over an open flame in the yard. The taste is awful. It's not pleasing like the thick, hot Chocolate found in Madrid.
Customer Review: A few corrections
I just wanted to correct what some of the other reviews are saying: A. It's not an "acquired" taste, that kids will probably not like: I grew up with Ibarra, it was a once in a blue moon treat. I loved it as a kid and preferred it to Swiss Miss or Nestle or any other hot chocolate. B. Although I'm sure you can make Ibarra hot chocolate with a blender I have never once seen someone make it like that. It's really simple: Take two wedges and melt them in a cup or so of milk (any kind) or water and just whisk it or use a wooden spoon. Ibarra is may favorite hot chocolate. I've introduced others to it and they've never had a bad thing to say!

Chocolate - Bittersweet - 1 kg Callets

This bittersweet chocolate (couverture) is excellent for eating, enrobing cakes with a thick layer of chocolate, preparing dense chocolate fillings and ganache, and for piping chocolate decorations. These callets are round drops of pure chocolate, easy to melt or temper, weigh, and store, and a divine taste in recipes calling for chunks of chocolate. The callets are made using 100% pure cocoa butter and a dash of natural Madagascar Bourbon vanilla that rounds off the taste with a slight sweet hint. Pure chocolate requires tempering to obtain a high gloss for chocolate making.
70.4% cocoa solids.
1 kilogram/2.2 pound bag.
Kosher (dairy) [not repackaged under kashrut supervision].
Callebaut Dark Chocolate, 70-30-38NV. Product of Belgium.
This item has been repackaged from a larger size and is not in the manufacturer's original packaging.
Note: Due to the nature of this product, the chocolate may melt during shipping. This does not ruin the chocolate; the chocolate is perfectly fine. Occasionally there may be light-coloured streaks or film on the surface of the chocolate. This occurs naturally and is a characteristic of pure chocolate. It will disappear when the chocolate is re-melted.
Customer Review: Good chocolate.
The chocolate flavor shines in this bittersweet chocolate. The "callets" are the right size for melting easily (I used them for truffles). This is good chocolate, worth the price.

The perfect way to indulge a sweetheart. Our romantic velvet hearts are filled with a selection of sinfully smooth truffles, deliciously fresh butter creams and decadent pralinés in milk, dark, or white chocolates coverings, all guarenteed to make this Valentine's Day even sweeter.
Customer Review: Superior Chocolates
These chocolates are fantastic! They arrived in perfect condition and were exceptionally good. The flavors are unique and the quality is obvious from the packaging to the freshness of the product.
Customer Review: A Highly Memorable Gift - delicious chocolates
If being "in love" gives you a zest for life, then the "I Love You" chocolate with dreamy lemon filling embodies this sentiment. Each chocolate has a unique design and the I Love You chocolate has two hearts, ribbons and a seal. After you sample the variety of chocolates, specific flavors will stand out as favorites. Here are my favorite creamy fillings (ganache and butter cream) which come in dark, white and milk chocolate depending on the selection: Antoinette - A smooth Brandy flavored ganache Lingoit Lait - Absolutely delicious vanilla flavored fresh butter cream filling. Time definitely stopped while tasting this chocolate. For ever - If you love coffee this may be one of the most delicious milk or dark chocolate chocolates ever made as it is filled with a special coffee cream that has hints of caramel. I ordered an entire box of these and they come in a variety of flavors. The milk chocolate and cherry filling is like Claude Debussy's Reverie. It is difficult to describe besides saying it is like a delicate cherry icing wrapped in milk chocolate. Merveilleux - Milk or dark chocolate filled with coffee ganache. Europe - Dark or milk chocolate filled with rum filling. Ganache - Milk or dark chocolate with pure ganache. Tosca - Milk chocolate with a special ganache. Antoinette - Delicate caramel hints in the milk chocolate coating mingle nicely with the vanilla filling. Eve - Milk or dark chocolate with a creamy dreamy banana filling. Alexandre le grand - A milk or dark chocolate with caramel cream. There is also a good chance you will see one of the chocolate covered cherry chocolates and a white chocolate with coffee cream. Also Recommended: If you wish to also try the Napolitains, I'd suggest the 1 pound sampler Ballotin with six varieties. You may also want to look for the new Palet d'Or. A deeply delicious and strong bitter chocolate filled with ganache. The center is made with butter, cream and chocolate and the outer coating is a masterpiece with gold decorations. 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. Ships from New York... ~The Rebecca Review
