Leonidas Belgian Milk Chocolate Crayon Pencils for Kids (8 Pencils in Gift Box) – Fun Novelty Milk Chocolates | Pure Cocoa Butter, No Palm Oil | Luxury Belgian Chocolatier Gift

PT loves them as he was a marine

So cool looking but lacking in flavour. Whilst these look pretty awesome i wasn't as taken a back with the flavour. They weren't very sweet nor chocolatey despite being Belgian chocolate. Still tasty, just not as tasty as i had anticipated.

Very testy chocolate.

I would not recommend as I have received my chocolate today October 22nd expired. Best before date is 15.07.2025.

I am lead to believe that Leonidas is a very premium chocolate brand. The price they are charging for this pack is certainly premium at (currently) £8.50. That is three times the price (per 100g) as most Lindt chocolates. In contrast, the box and presentation is pretty average, and I'm afraid that the chocolate has been rattled around enough that there are bits of chocolate crumbs scattered on & around the box which worsen the overall look. Incidentally, my box was different to the blue box shown in the Amazon listing. Mine was a yellow colour with a cartoon of a cheeky monkey eating one of the pencils. The chocolate is nice enough, but it is quite mild in flavour, and doesn't seem anywhere near the rich flavours I remember when I last had some Leonidas chocolates (about a year ago). Maybe the recipe has been altered to appeal to children - which this chocolate is marketed at. Overall, I'm not convinced that children will appreciate this specific chocolate flavour any more than another non-premium brand - although it is true to say that they did actually like it. They did also like the look of the pencils as well, and found that aspect of the chocolates fascinating. In summary, I can't say that the box is worth the price shown. Realistically it should be closer to £4, and at that price I would consider it expensive but fair. Yet, I still can't convince myself that children would be getting a unique and unforgettable chocolate experience which makes it worthwhile getting these Leonidas chocolates rather than another brand.

They looked very posh and apparently (they were a gift) tasted delicious.

Product came broken & melted together. Tastes good but obviously irritating that it looked like this.

These are a fun little item and although not the biggest, they are a great small gift for the chocolate and art lover! The taste isn't too bad at all, and they make a lovely treat or would make a perfect stocking filler this Christmas too. A nice enough, small treat that are fun.
