Chocolate Express

Chocolate Express has sold Belgian chocolates and confectionery gifts from Jersey for more than thirty years, according to the company’s account of its history. Its dedicated Leonidas shop is in Saint Helier’s Central Market. The business combines that counter with online sales, allowing customers to choose a ready-made box or build a selection piece by piece.

Its specialty is understanding the differences within the Leonidas range. Chocolates arrive from Brussels weekly and are stored in temperature-controlled spaces. Purchases distinguish milk, dark, and white coatings, alongside praline, ganache, caramel, and buttercream fillings. Custom selection brings several styles together in one box.

Manon and coffee varieties have dedicated sections, alongside gianduja, the combination of chocolate and hazelnut. Truffles include rum, coffee, pistachio, champagne, and coconut varieties; there are also liqueur-filled chocolates and shell shapes. Marzipan comes in pieces and fruit flavors, while Napolitain squares provide a small, individually wrapped format.

Confectionery broadens purchases with nougat, Turkish delight, fruit jellies, nuts, marshmallows, and fudge. The catalog also includes tea, coffee, and spreads. Small taster packs offer a way to try combinations without buying a large box, while bags, hampers, and seasonal selections provide other gift formats.

Boxes range from two-chocolate favors to large sixty-piece assortments. Bags, cards, and tags can be added, and corporate gifting supports presentations with personalized ribbons and delivery to multiple addresses. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and thank-you gifts have dedicated selections, alongside Advent calendars available through their own ordering arrangements.

Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, reduced-sugar, and no-added-sugar choices are organized in their respective categories. The chocolate menu and allergen guides distinguish the characteristics of each product. These selections apply to specific products within a range that also includes milk, nuts, and other ingredients.

The shop is at stalls 83–85 in the Central Market, Halkett Place, Saint Helier, Jersey, JE2 4WL. The online store offers order pickup and a points-based loyalty program. Chocolate Express operates as a specialist Leonidas retailer: it helps shoppers choose within the Belgian manufacturer’s range and prepares the presentation and distribution of each purchase.
