What kind of chocolates are in the box of chocolates in the bus stop scene from the movie "Forrest Gump"?

Tom Hanks loves Chocolate Tree sweets and everyone else agrees it is the best! The Chocolate Tree is one of Beaufort’s gems and was the creator of the iconic “box of chocolates” in the blockbuster hit, Forrest Gump. Once you have a taste for yourself, you will see why. They have something for just about everyone and make delicious treats in-house and daily, including caramel apples, fudge, chocolate, and more! The Chocolate Tree is located conveniently downtown at 507 Carteret Street.

(Turns out Tom Hanks was lying when he said, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” According to local lore, he picked out every one of those chocolates in the Russell Stover box. And each year, the Chocolate Tree sends him his favorites as a gift.)
