In every box of mixed chocolates there are always some that taste awful. Jon Stewart recently joked about trying to guess which chocolate in the box might taste okay. He said the plains square is the only one you can count on.
Half the box is a yucky flavor, in my experience. Blecch.

(27,630 posts)Myself, I only buy bars of plain dark chocolate.
When I was a kid I thought they were all kind of good, except for Rum Raisin. Rum Raisin is generally the worst.

(12,161 posts)they always stuck their fingers into the chocolates to see if there were any good ones. I remember once, when mr. froggy gave me a box of Whitman's Samplers for Valentine's Day, I offered the box around, and all three kids took turns squashing chocolates with their fingers till they found one they liked. (I liked them all, so I ate the squashed ones.)

(34,139 posts)According to Russell Stover Chocolate:
Caramels are usually square.
Chocolates with soft centers, such as truffles and whips, are round.
Rectangular candies are typically filled with nougat.
Oval candies most often contain butter fudge.
Nut Clusters are usually round and have a chunky surface.

I tend to stick with the square and oval ones.
