I found two sites that explain how which chocolate we pick from the box shows something about us. For me, I&#8217;m an introvert (I pick the squares and rectangles), and I&#8217;m happy (caramel). Since it doesn&#8217;t matter whether the chocolate is dark or milk\u2014as long as there&#8217;s caramel inside\u2014I can be either a hard charger up for a challenge (dark) or relaxed and romantic (milk). It depends on the day, I suppose.<\/p>\n<p>Here are two sites I found fun to read: The Westbridge Hotel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewestbridge.com\/blog\/chocolate\/\">blog<\/a> and Charbonnel et Walker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charbonnelchocolates.com\/blog\/what-is-your-chocolate-personality\/\">blog<\/a>.
