The Last Chocolate in the Box

I have never been a huge fan of chocolates. But when I do enjoy them, I always appreciate the slip of paper provided by some thoughtful chocolatier letting me know what was what. When this helpful guide is missing, my world freezes.

Oh sure, I know the square ones are caramels, lumpy ones contain nuts, and fuzzy looking ones have coconut. But what about all those other nondescript round ones? You know, 95% of the box?

How am I to know if I am going to get a fruity truffle or a creamy hazelnut? Or something awful like coffee flavor (yech)? It's a gamble every time.

Which brings us to my point today: The Last Chocolate in the Box.







What do I do?! This particular morsel will be my last memory of the box which to this point was scrumptious. My final taste of a chocolate feast! Could I really risk all that on some unknown foe? Do I just toss it, letting the previous nut cluster be the finale?
What would I be missing out on if I did? Or what could I be avoiding?

While contemplating this conundrum, I realized how applicable this lesson was to my life. How many "chocolates" have I missed out on over the years because I was afraid they might be "coffee-flavoured?" How many friends might I now have in Rexburg if I had made the effort to just take them out of the box?

With a sigh of resolution, I timidly tasted the tidbit.
