Awesome collection and so much to peruse. It’s kind of like opening a box of candy and trying to decide which one to gobble first 🙂

The truffle. Always go for the truffle first. If you wait, someone will beat you to it and you’ll be stuck with a fruit creme. So disappointing. 😉

Those poor fruit cremes. They’re always the last chosen. My husband will have nothing to do with them!

I don’t like them, either. My husband and daughter will eat them, although they prefer jellies (yuck). My son only seems to like truffles, buckeyes, or cherries. No fruit cremes for him. Me? I’m more into the caramels, nuts, and truffles.You know… the good stuff.
Not that we eat chocolate that often, anyway. But if I’m going to, I’m not going to waste the calories on cremes!

I always go for those pieces with nuts. I guess I’m a nut like that. 🙂
