Default Decode a Box of Chocolates

"Life's like a box of chocolates," quipped Forrest Gump. "You never
know what
you're gonna get." Not everyone wants life to imitate art, however.
Some of us would
like to know what's inside those morsels before biting in. Are there
any clues?

It's usually indicated on a chart on the inside box top. Might be hidden
behind a removeable company "Welcome" sheet.

Every candy maker has their own code. I've been making Christmas Candy
for over 20 years and I have my own code. It's a combination of milk
or dark coating, the size and shape of the piece and any decorations.

And of course if you don't know the code you can always dent the
bottom of the piece and get a glimpse that way! ;-) Hazardous to do
with my Chocolate Covered Cherries as they are juicy inside, and the
juice may run all over the place! But if you can't tell what they are
by the fact that they are huge, covered in real dark chocolate and
wrapped in foil,. then you deserve it!! :-)

If you had ever had JJ Eugronus' chocolate covered cherries...well, I
don't often type OMG. Fresh sweet cherries and cherry liqueur. His
toffees are great too.
