The world's best cold remedy. Oct 07, 2005
By J. Hoelscher

The product description calls the Orangettes "Belgian Vitamin C." Except for the luxury price, I'm sure Belgians must be pretty healthy with these around. They're amazing! The combination of orange peel and chocolate has long been popular, but Leonidas does it very well. The dark chocolate is very rich, not bitter, and completely covers the orange peel (which retains a good flavor and isn't overly sweet). Unlike other chocolatiers who often dip the peel only partially, Leonidas has made certain to put their chocolate center stage by using a generous portion. The result is an addictive treat because the flavors linger on the palate and the Orangettes aren't so sweet as to become cloying.
I don't know if these guys are really going to improve your health, but they will definitely improve your day. In my opinion, they're worth the money as an occasional purchase and certainly worth a one-time try.
The packaging is a gold box, wrapped in blue and white Leonidas paper with a gilt deep purple box. For shipping, the package was placed inside a sturdy styrofoam shell. Mine arrived within three days and looked like I'd purchased them at the store to give as a gift.

Crisp chocolate and tender orange peel Sep 19, 2006
By Joanna Daneman
This was my dad's absolute favorite candy. He loved orange and bittersweet chocolate best of any flavors and this was, for him a match made in heaven. I adore it as well. After my dad passed away, I found a stash of them in his cupboard. They aren't easy to find, but they make a most welcome after-dinner sweet with coffee for guests.

best orangettes and great prices Nov 14, 2008
By susie smith

even it is abit expensive to buy sometimes, but I find that the quality is exceptional, great taste, great packaging, and still cheaper than some other brands with a better taste. The texture and taste are just right!
The shipping comes in 2 days, great wrap and bow like its for a present, comes in a foam box. I never had any shipping problems at all.

Best Chocolate Covered Orange Peels Dec 21, 2009
By Anna Jacobs
I am very impressed with this product (and the company that creates it). The packaging is gorgeous - nice enough to give as a gift as is. And the dark chocolate covered orange peels are the best I have ever tasted. The dark chocolate is rich and flavorful. The candied orange peels on the inside are the perfect balance of sweet and tart. And they're easy to bite into - not hard like some others I've tried.
Yes these are pricy but they are truly gourmet. And since the package includes a full pound I believe that justifies the price.
I ordered this during the winter so I was not concerned about melting.
Guilty pleasure. Mar 07, 2011

These are the best I've ever eaten. The dark chocolate melts in your mouth and the candied orange slices are equally good--even though they do no melt. but have just the right chewiness.
