Best chocolate in a box of chocolates?

[Anonymous]

As long as others are touting places to buy, I'll throw my favorite in. Holls out of Parkersburg WV. Stumbled upon them when driving through the town one day. Closest thing to European chocolate I've ever had here in the states.

For the record, I do not, have not, and will not get any kind of benefit from this company. I just like to support quality products from small companies:

Holl’s Chocolates is a small, family-owned business that specializes in creating traditional Swiss chocolates. Their commitment to creating authentic Swiss chocolates grows out of the experiences of three generations of Swiss trained chocolatiers.

Ooo fun post, OP.

Favorites - coconut, coconut creme, caramel, maple

Least- anything with fruit (there always seemed to be strawberry and orange ones) or a big nut on top.

PS - remember the big Russell Stover boxes that used to have a “key” teling you what each chocolate was? My sibs and I would fight over certain flavors because my family would always seem to receive a box for Christmas.

hmm.. if you are a praline lover.. the nuts and chews Sees candy box is so yummy.

for fruits- buy a box of Cadbury roses or quality street (shhh I like QS) better, the chocolate actually tastes like chocolate. I'm south asian so we always have these as gifts and travel to UK fairly often for family but I think they have this stuff at Rodmans b/c I remember my parents going there for chocolate growing up.

Best: Dark chocolate

Worst: White chocolate anything, most fruit creams but especially orange

Marzipan is garbage, even coated with dark chocolate.
