Whitman's Chocolates - I'm tired of sampling them, I want the real thing.

[NuclearNed]

I guess most people by now have had the opportunity to enjoy a Whitman's Sampler - one of those boxes of various flavors of filled chocolates. I don't want to sample the various flavors anymore. After many years and even many more boxes of samples, I've decided which ones I like, and I want to buy boxes of only those flavors. I'm tired of getting stuck with all those crappy flavors, like coconut.

I demand the right to buy a box of only one type of chocolate.

maybe you start an online company that repackages them from the sampler box to single type boxes
charge a premium

that would proabably be a hit.

Those things *are* good though. Plus, if it weren't for the bad pieces, the good pieces would be as good.

we have a mom and pop chocolate shoppe here and you can pick exactly which chocolates you want in your sampler box. that's the way to do it.

You can order custom boxes from See's Candies. They are the best I've ever had. Better than Godiva. I different universe than Whitman's.

I think they usually run $14-17/lb.

Link - I recommend #8, 17, and 26.

dont you hate family members that take one bite and put it back cuz they dont like it....pretty soon the box is full half eaten chocolates

I think they are based here in Kansas City. And I'm pretty sure they have a store next to the university. what kind are you looking for?

edit: n/m it's a russel stover store (same company, but i think different chocolates).

OMG LMAO my family does that every holiday. One time we had 4 whitmans samplers with all 1/2 eaten pieces just sitting on top of the fridge.

Or the people who "squish" the chocolate to see what's inside, and then put back the ones they don't want. Can't they read the freakin' map on the box lid???

 

[WolverineGator]

Or when they switch chocolates around so they are in the wrong spaces. Now the map is wrong and you don't know what you're getting. :|
