If no "map" in included or printed on the back you may have a case of trial and error. Unless, of course, you know the secret code.
There is a secret code that all candy makers use - it is the "design" on the top of the chocolate.
Here's a list of selected candies comparing the old codes with those of two present-day firms, Chicago-based Fannie May and Massachusetts-based Fanny Farmer. (And no, I am not going to speculate on why candy makers tend to be named Fanny. I've got enough problems already.)
(UC = universal code; FM = Fannie May; FF = Fanny Farmer)
Vanilla cream--UC, round with "V" on top; FM, round with straight line; FF, round with single "arrow"
Chocolate cream--UC, round with open "C" on top; FM, round with 2 curved lines (light inside); FF, round with 2 straight lines (dark inside)
Cherry cordial--UC, round with closed "C"; FM, round with circular hieroglyphic; FF, round with closed "C"
Vanilla caramel--UC, square with "V" on top; FM, square with straight line; FF, square with V-like zigzags
Peppermint--UC, round, flat, unmarked; FM, round, flat, wavy stripes; FF, discontinued
Nougat--UC, rectangle, straight line; FM, rectangle, straight line; FF, rectangle, 1 or 2 straight lines
Orange cream--UC, round with "O" on top; FM, oval, slanted "Hostess cupcake" swirls; FF, oval with narrow zigzags
Shredded coconut--UC, not listed; FM, round, wide zigzags; FF, round, lumpy, one arrow
Marshmallow--UC, not listed; FM, square with 2 or 4 "peaks"; FF, round with random peak pattern
(Some candy makers also supply their own lists.)
Good Luck!!

They usually include a list inside the box or it could be written on the outside as well!
"Life is like a box of chocolates " Love the surprises that it offers you!
