And, with today's chocolates, this nice assortment box is finito. I had the chance to sample almost all 15 flavors of wild berry centers. I don't remember seeing any Wild Mossberry, but they could be seasonal items. Heck, what am I saying, I don't even know what a Mossberry looks like, much less what their growing season is in Alaska. Catch you next time Mr./Ms. Mossberry; it was fun nibbling on all your semi- and sub-arctic cousins.
