Whitman's Sampler Assorted Chocolate Gift Box vs Li-Lac French Assortment Chocolate Gift Box

Buy the Li-Lac French Assortment for a gift or for anyone who wants small, well-made squares with unusual fillings like marzipan, mocha and lemon chiffon. Buy the Whitman's Sampler if you want a familiar, larger box of 22 pieces to share at a lower commitment. Li-Lac scores higher with owners (4.9 from 98 ratings against 4.4 from 282) and is handmade in small batches, gluten free and kosher certified. Whitman's has more pieces, more flavors and a longer track record, but owners describe it as ordinary boxed candy.

• Choose the Whitman's Sampler if you want a bigger box of familiar milk and dark chocolate pieces to pass around at a party or office.
• Choose the Li-Lac French Assortment if you want a smaller, gift-ready box of handmade squares with distinctive fillings.
