Life is like a box of chocolates – it ends quickly when it tumbles into lava. Enjoy the transient experience of sweet pleasure with today’s Groupon: for $12.80, you get 100g of Leonidas Fresh Belgian Chocolate Pralines at Chocz (worth $21).

At one of three Chocz outlets islandwide, get your fill of 100g (equivalent to 6 decadent pieces) of sinfully delightful Leonidas chocolate. Originating over a hundred years ago from the historically chocolatey nation of Belgium, these innocuous, sweet seducers of women (and a considerable number of men) are made according to traditional methods using fresh ingredients. Each of the six little drops of heaven boast 100% pure cocoa butter for the coating, and natural ingredients like fresh butter, fresh cream, hazelnuts from Turkey, almonds from Italy and walnuts from Grenoble.

Chocz reduces the agony of decision-making by pre-packing the assortment of chocolates for you, so you can live out the Forrest Gump-ian quote of “never knowing what you’re gonna get”. It’s almost impossible to be unpleasantly surprised by the exquisitely crafted morsels of cocoa perfection – share them with loved ones or consume them obsessively, alone in a room. Chocolates never judge.

Reviews:

“Whether you are in the mood for a pick me up, a guilty indulgence, or a sweet gift, Leoniadas has a chocolate for you. With over a hundred years of experience in making soothing hot chocolate, rich ganache, and luscious truffle, the artisans behind these treats have worked hard to bring you an unparalleled chocolate experience. Each of their truffles are made from pure imported Belgian cocoa and filled with smooth butter-creams, adorned with chocolate sprinkles, stuffed with crunchy peanuts, or left pure to allow the sheer quality of the ingredients stand out.” – Munchonme blog

“The Pralines Leonidas assortment has a narrow focus on all things hazelnut with a good balance of dark, milk and white chocolate. There were pralines, pastes, truffles, croquants, gianduja and even a marzipan or two. It wasn’t all noisettes, there was also a cherry paste and what I believe is a chocolate covered cherry (that red foil one which is the only thing in the box right now). Some had a nice tickle of rum or coffee tipped into them. There were different textures for the hazelnuts - from a thick paste to a near solid chocolate assembly. Leonidas runs on the sweet side, but the nut flavors are awesome. The chocolate is smooth and mellow, don’t expect anything strong or vibrant here, just some old fashioned hazelnut goodness.” – candyblog.net
