Chocolate Heaven

by huskyduck

Simply the best chocolate in the world. Those are bold words but when in NYC, pay them a visit and get a truffle or two and I bet you will agree. The cognac truffles and champagne truffles were particularly memorable. Pralines and creams are also otherworldly smooth and rich.

Leonidas is an absolute must visit in NYC for any chocoholic.

• Pros: champagne truffles, cognac truffles

Leonidas is famous for their Belgian chocolates. Their 1 lb balotin of assorted pralines are culinary masterpieces. Flown fresh daily from Brussels and packed for your enjoyment. If you rather choose yourself, a wide array of coffee, mocha, butter cream is displayed. The Madison Ave outlet is nicely lit, clean and the staff helpful.
