Which box of chocolates is best?

For a chef or a cook, a true sign of success is taking a flavor your audience is known not to love and convincing them that they’ve been missing out this whole time. And this beautiful, elegant little box of chocolates from Los Angeles–based Compartés encourages you to try flavors you might not otherwise because they aren’t marked on the packaging. 

In fact, the lack of flavor legend led a couple of us to see a flavor we’d previously avoided in a new light, thanks to a particularly outstanding chocolate with a raspberry ganache filling. “Raspberry has never been my thing, but it might be now,” said Kevin Doyle, an editor at Consumer Reports who participated in the chocolate evaluation. “Perfect,” said Ginger Cowles, another editor. “The chocolate and raspberry taste real.” Mary Beth Quirk, another CR editor, said: “The flavor hangs around and you’re glad that it does.” I’m not big on raspberry, either, and would not have gone for it first, but after trying it, all I wanted to know was: Could I have another?

Other freaking extraordinary flavors include orange cream, which tastes just like a creamsicle; strawberry, which—again—tastes like a strawberry shortcake ice-cream pop; peanut butter, which Ginger summed up as “really yummy”; and funfetti, which elicited a rare “wow” from my husband. “It’s crazy!” he said. ”Even though it’s not my favorite flavor, it tastes really good.” As a huge lover of funfetti, I’m pretty bummed I didn’t get to try that one.

While the fillings are playful and unique, it’s evident the chocolate shells are well made: snappy, dark, and not especially sweet. Those who prefer milk chocolate to dark may not gravitate toward this box. Anna Kocharian, a CR shopping editor, said that though dark chocolate isn’t her favorite, the product was clearly high-quality. 

The chocolate makers at Compartés obviously like to have fun. This box is great for any time and any occasion, and I’m looking forward to creating excuses to celebrate, if necessary, to pop on a party hat, break into a box of Compartés chocolate, and have a good time.

When is an appropriate time to gift a box of chocolates?

A box of chocolates is the perfect gift for any occasion. Boxes of chocolates are a timeless gift that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, making them an ideal choice for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, and other special events. Chocolates are also a great way to show appreciation or congratulations for a job well done or to simply say thank you. For corporate events, custom gifting with your logo and artwork can create an even more memorable impression. Get creative and give the gift of a delicious surprise!
