chocolates

Sweet brown candies

Chocolates are individual pieces of chocolate candy, typically with fillings like cream, caramel, nuts, or liqueur, often presented in decorative boxes: a box of chocolates, Valentine's Day chocolates.

The plural distinguishes these confections from chocolate as a substance or drink.

Life is like a box of chocolates.
