Best individually wrapped chocolate candy

Top pick: Hershey's Kisses — the classic answer to "individually wrapped chocolate." Every piece is foil-wrapped, they hold up in a candy bowl or favor bag, and they're a crowd-pleaser rather than a gamble.

Who the others suit:

• Mars minis variety pack — best for a mixed crowd: Snickers, Twix and more, all fun-size wrapped.
• Lindt Lindor — when you want it to feel like a gift rather than a snack.
• Dove Promises dark — for dark-chocolate fans; each square is wrapped with a little message.
• Riesen — chewy caramel lovers who want something different.
• M&M's Minis — small, tidy pieces for bowls and kids.

Skip loose bars and tubs if wrapping matters — not every piece is individually sealed.
