Is it OK to start the second layer of chocolates before finishing the first?

The question that splits families.

ON THE ONE hand, a box of chocolates is a wonderful cornucopia of delights for all the family.

On the other, it’s a dog-eat-dog battle where the weakest and slowest are left with the manky strawberry cremes.
