Chocolate is the perfect gift for teachers and tutors
If you ever go into a school staffroom, one of the first things you will notice is the ballotin or the chocolate tablet taking pride of place in the middle of the table. Chocolate is teachers’ key tool. It feeds their constantly churning brains, and allows them to destress when there are so many things to manage.
Teachers of course have to teach right through the year. Keeping between 20 and 30 children engaged and calm is quite a challenge! And then there’s everything else on top: the sore that needs treating during the recess, the music or film project to find out about, the staff meeting during the lunch ‘break’ that can’t be missed, etc. Basically, it never stops! And at the end of term, there isn’t a teacher with a minute to themselves because they have the report cards to complete.
All that takes a huge amount of energy. Just one piece of chocolate, creamy and tasty, recharges the batteries! The box of chocolates in the middle of the table is willingly shared, because if one colleague cracks, it’s the entire team that suffers. Have we managed to convince you that your next gift for your teacher will be an assortment of chocolates?
A blissful box and the teacher will give you a kiss

Premium quality chocolate for outstanding teachers
To keep your teachers on top form and, above all, in good spirits, you have to give them the best chocolate! Thanks to the know-how of our Master Chocolatiers, which dates back over a century, Leonidas chocolates and sweet treats look as good as they taste.
We know that teachers are sensitive to these values, which they in turn pass on to the children. We select the most flavoursome cocoa beans. Our chocolate is guaranteed to be made from 100% pure cocoa butter, and is completely free from palm oil. In making its Belgian chocolates, Leonidas uses only premium quality ingredients sourced from countries whose producers practise ethical cultivation and respect the environment
