  The Napolitains are wonderful for people who enjoy chocolate on its own. The pure chocolate pieces are great as an expression of high-quality chocolate. People who enjoy the pleasant bitterness of pure cocoa will be especially impressed by the Sao Tome. The flavored pieces stick with classic combinations and provide some nice variety and contrast. The product descripton's suggestion of offering the assortment after dinner is good, especially with coffee. I find they are very nice to set out at parties or just for everyday guests, too. It's so nice to just have a taste as I run out the door. The best part is that none of these disappoint because they're all chocolate with no mystery fillings.
  
  Leonidas' packaging for shipping will protect the box and ensure it arrives safely. You should get them in 3 days and eat them fresh, although the Napolitains store well, too. They're best if enjoyed at room temperature.

  Talk about wonderful chocolate!
  
  This is some of the best you will ever have. Leonidas sends it out fresh, overnight. They don't add paraffin, so the chocolate does melt in your hands, as well as on your tongue.
  
  Each piece is small, with light, buttery, creamy fillings. Each piece is better than the last. They're not as famous as Godiva - but they're better. Much better than Sees, or Ethel M's (which also happen to be pretty good).
  
  I am so glad that Amazon added Leonidas to their selections.

  The sampler box comes nicely packaged...gift wrapped with Leonidas printed wrapping paper and tied with a bright neon green bow. The sampler box came inside of a foam container, which I assume they used to keep the temperature stable.
  After taking the sampler box out of the foam container and opening it, my nose was greeted with the most heavenly scent of chocolates.
  The box is divided into two compartments by a white cardboard sheet. The bottom compartment is packed full of different chocolates, and the top compartment holds the rest in order to make it 1 pound.
  I took all the chocolate out and organized them into flavors and was quite dissapointed that there weren't any Cinnamon flavored ones in my sampler. That's the reason I gave this sampler only four stars. I also got a whole bunch of Nibs, and barely any Dark, Milk, and White.
  Nonetheless, the choclates are mighty tasty. They seem very fresh. My favorite so far is the 72% pure origin Sao Tome and the white chocolate.

  The crunchy chocolate squares in this box were a real surprise and I love how delicate the crunch is when encased in a burst of delicious chocolate.
  
  You may also enjoy the Mint chocolates. They are delicious after dinner or anytime you want to wake up your taste buds. The mint flavor bursts from these chocolates as if it was encased in little sugar crystals. It is quite perfect and refreshing.
  
  I also love the 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 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 Mint 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.
  
  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.
