Leone Milk & Dark Chocolate Creams, 100g

Leone Milk & Dark Chocolate Creams are small chocolate bars shaped like gold ingots, each one wrapped on its own and packed into a cardboard box decorated with a circus elephant balancing on a ball. It's part of Leone's "Circus of Dreams" Christmas collection, made by a chocolate house in Turin that's been at it since 1857. Inside, you get a mix of milk and dark chocolate bars, each hiding a soft cream filling in the same flavour. Break one open and the filling spreads out slowly, more like a soft centre than a firm truffle. Is this your first time buying from us?

• Milk and dark chocolate, each with a matching filling
• Individually wrapped bars, shaped like gold ingots
• Cocoa beans roasted with hot air, not direct fire
• Conched for 60 hours over stone rollers
• Vintage circus-elephant design on the box

Meet the maker: Leone

Leone has been making Italian sweets since 1857, when Luigi Leone began offering little sugar pastilles to guests at his family's tavern in northern Italy. Flavoured with mint, cinnamon and cloves, they soon became so popular that Luigi moved to Turin and opened his own confectionery business.

Before long, Leone was supplying sweets to the Italian royal family. More than 160 years later, its famous pastel-coloured pastilles are still made using traditional bronze moulds, alongside chocolates, fruit jellies and other sweet treats. We love Leone for its wonderful history, playful packaging and devotion to old-fashioned sweet making.
